  "account": "Ziba, Nigeria's pioneering over-water resort, has announced the third phase of its development in Lagos, introducing grander Grand Overwater Rooms, loft-style accommodations, and a dedicated wellness center. The latest expansion, announced recently, aims to solidify the resort's position as a luxury tourism and wellness destination, while highlighting locally-crafted hospitality experiences. Speaking at the event, Ziba's CEO, Tricia Olufemi, emphasized the milestone nature of the development, stating, \"Nigeria's first over-water resort just got bigger. Today is a milestone. We're taking the over-water experience we pioneered to a whole new level with larger Grand Overwater Rooms, the first-ever loft-style overwater stays in Nigeria, and a dedicated wellness centre. This is about proving that world-class luxury escapes don’t have to mean leaving Nigeria.\" When Ziba first began, some questioned whether an over-water resort could thrive in Lagos; however, the founders held steadfast to their belief. They argued that Lagos deserved a destination that matched its dynamic energy and high aspirations. The resort maintains that it isn't simply importing a foreign concept, but rather crafting a uniquely Nigerian luxury experience. Each Grand Overwater Room offers ample space and breathtaking views, catering to couples, families, and guests who desire accommodation directly over the water. The new loft-style accommodations feature soaring ceilings, setting a new standard for overwater stays in Nigeria. Moreover, the resort has added a dedicated wellness center boasting spa, recovery, and relaxation facilities. Olufemi highlighted the development as a testament to Nigeria's creative prowess and hospitality potential, capable of competing on the global stage.",
