While couples in Lagos are busy locking in dinner reservations and soft-life getaways. It seems like the singles are left out. Now, you couldn’t be more wrong, because who said Valentine’s Day is for love between two people? Whether you’re fully embracing singlehood, linking up with your single friends, or just looking for plans that don’t revolve around romance, Lagos has options. Don’t let anyone oppress you!
Here are seven things to do on Valentine’s Day in Lagos if you’re single:
Attend a Concert
One of the reasons a concert or live show is always goated, even on Valentine’s Day, is the music and a crowd that’s fully there for vibes, not just couple goals. You can show up solo, meet people, or just focus on the experience. It’s loud and social enough to avoid any awkward single-person moments.

Spa Day
Valentine’s Day can also be about slowing down instead of turning up. A spa day is a perfect reset if your idea of celebration involves relaxation, skincare, and massage. It’s a great way to spend the day while reminding yourself that romance isn’t the only form of luxury worth enjoying.

Go Raving
If you’re not a fan of conventional love stories or a regular Valentine’s Day schedule, then a rave is your safe space. Lagos’ alternative party scene has grown into a solid option for people who want high-energy activities without the usual Lagos outside pressure. Raves are less about who you came with and more about the shared experience on the dance floor.

Retail Therapy

Also, most Lagos fashion spaces now double as social hubs, so you might leave with more than just clothes.

Clubs will typically go all out with themed parties and special appearances to celebrate the night. Whether you’re dancing with friends or simply outside, it’s the best way to turn Valentine’s Day into a proper Lagos nightlife experience.

Beach Getaway

Host a Group Hangout
If Valentine’s Day feels a little too couple-focused for you, then flip the script with a group hangout. Picnic setups or game nights—anything that will allow everyone to have a great time. It’s very low-pressure, and you won’t need structured romantic plans.
