The resort mixes overnight accommodation with a heavy day-visitor trade, drawing city residents for weekend outings as much as travellers seeking a stay.

An island resort on Île Boulay in the lagoon, used both for overnight stays and as a weekend day-trip from Abidjan; access is by boat.

Boulay Beach Resort occupies the Baie des Milliardaires shore of Île Boulay, an island in the Ébrié Lagoon reached by boat from landings in Yopougon or Plateau rather than by road, giving it a genuinely separate island atmosphere within the Abidjan metropolitan area. The resort mixes overnight accommodation with a heavy day-visitor trade, drawing city residents for weekend outings as much as travellers seeking a stay. Rooms are offered as Bungalow, Double Room and Family Bungalow, set among gardens and lagoon frontage. A lagoon beach and outdoor pool cover swimming, and a restaurant and bar serve both overnight guests and day visitors, with boat transfer from the mainland arranged as part of the visit. There is no spa or fitness centre; the appeal is the lagoon setting itself rather than resort-style wellness facilities. Families make up a large part of the clientele, drawn by the beach, gardens and relatively contained island environment, and the resort functions as much as a weekend escape destination for Abidjan residents as an overnight lodging option for visitors to the city. Service is casual and geared to a high volume of day-trippers alongside overnight guests, particularly on weekends.
