In a city defined by speed and constant motion, The Singleton Escapes: Passport to Serenity arrived in Lagos as a deliberate pause. Hosted as an immersive luxury experience, the event invited Nigeria’s tastemakers into a carefully curated world centred on intentional living, meaningful connection, and the art of slowing down. From guided moments of digital disconnection to refined whisky tastings featuring The Singleton 12, 15, and 18 Year Old expressions, Passport to Serenity redefined luxury as presence rather than performance.
From the moment guests arrived, it was clear this was not simply another high-end event. Passport to Serenity unfolded as a thoughtfully designed, multi-stage escape—one that encouraged participants to release the pressures of routine, urgency, and constant digital noise. Phones were set aside. Conversations softened. Time, for once, felt unhurried.
At the heart of the experience was connection—not the performative kind, but the quiet intimacy that emerges when distractions fall away. Guests were encouraged to immerse themselves fully in the present, rediscovering the pleasure of shared moments and intentional indulgence. This philosophy came alive during the guided tasting, where The Singleton 12, 15, and 18 Year Old whiskies were paired with bespoke culinary creations, reinforcing the brand’s belief that true luxury is best revealed when savoured slowly.
Speaking on the intention behind the series, Ifeoma Agu, Group Head of Culture, Influencers & Advocacy at Diageo South, West & Central Africa, highlighted the deeper purpose driving the experience:
“The Singleton is fundamentally about creating moments that matter and celebrating the joy of intentional living and shared connections.”
She added that the success of Passport to Serenity reflected a growing cultural desire to pause, reconnect, and engage with life more meaningfully.
More than an event, The Singleton Escapes: Passport to Serenity served as a gentle reminder that luxury does not always announce itself loudly. Sometimes, it arrives quietly—inviting you to slow down, be present, and savour a single moment fully.
Through experiences like Passport to Serenity, The Singleton continues to champion a philosophy rooted in mindful indulgence, encouraging Nigerians to embrace intentional living and find richness in the moments that matter most.
