A lodge on the Baie des Milliardaires shore of Île Boulay, reached by boat and geared to weekend escapes from the city.
Coconut Grove Lodge sits on the Baie des Milliardaires shore of Île Boulay, a short boat ride across the Ébrié Lagoon from the city, and shares the island with the larger Boulay Beach Resort while offering a smaller-scale, quieter alternative. The lodge is built around lagoon frontage and gardens, with Bungalow, Double Room and Family Bungalow accommodation set among the grounds. An outdoor pool and lagoon frontage cover swimming, and a restaurant and bar handle meals for overnight and day guests, with boat transfer arranged from the mainland. There is no spa or fitness centre, consistent with the lodge's low-key island character. The property is geared primarily to weekend escapes from Abidjan rather than long-haul travellers, drawing city residents and visitors wanting a break from the mainland's traffic and heat without leaving the metropolitan area. Its smaller scale compared with the neighbouring Boulay Beach Resort gives it a calmer, more intimate atmosphere, particularly appealing to families and couples seeking a quieter lagoon stay rather than the busier day-visitor trade at the larger resort next door.
