In 1981, Denise and Hans Kortekaas purchased a holiday home in Lagos. Twenty-seven years later, their daughter and her partner Fraser reimagined it as the exclusive villa rental and retreat venue it is today.

What began as a private family escape – centred around good food, fine wine and time together – has flourished within the Quinta’s thick white walls. Passionate gardeners, Denise and Hans lovingly shaped the tranquil 10,000 sqm grounds, planting more than 1,500 plants in the Italian garden alone and creating the peaceful setting guests enjoy today.

Now, Chantelle and her partner Fraser welcome guests from around the world, sharing this special place with warmth and care. Inspired by their travels around the world and a deep appreciation for thoughtful hospitality, they and their dedicated team ensure every stay feels personal, relaxed and memorable. Their bespoke concierge service is what truly sets Quinta Bonita apart, thoughtfully curating each stay to make your time here exceptional.
