Ikoyi, which is part of the Eti-Osa Local Government Area, is one of Lagos' most expensive neighbourhoods. Ikoyi was separated from the surrounding areas during the colonial period and designated as the Government Reservation Area (GRA).

The decision to separate Ikoyi was made in response to a rule enacted to ensure that Europeans' residential areas were separated from the natives who lived there. Until the early years of Nigeria's independence, this rule was in place.

Following that, Ikoyi was developed as a residential cantonment for the British expatriate community. Ikoyi still has some of these massive colonial mansions built between 1900 and 1950.

Ikoyi lies to the east of Lagos Island and to the north of Victoria Island.
