Tinapa Resort, Business resort in Calabar, Nigeria
Tinapa Resort is a large complex in Calabar featuring retail spaces, entertainment facilities, and accommodations situated along the riverfront. The site includes an extensive water park system fed by an artificial tidal lake connected to the Calabar River.
The project was initiated in the early 2000s as an ambitious development for Calabar and officially opened in 2007. This opening created a new attraction meant to strengthen the city's profile as a tourist destination.
Studio Tinapa serves as a production hub for Nigerian films and supports the growth of the country's media industry. Visitors can see how creative projects take shape and witness the facility's role in developing local entertainment.
The site offers air-conditioned rooms with modern conveniences such as flat-screen televisions and refrigerators for guests. It is wise to arrive early in the day to enjoy the water facilities comfortably and avoid the heat of midday hours.
The water systems are supplied through an artificial tidal mechanism that synchronizes with the river's natural rhythms. This engineering solution maintains stable water conditions for recreational activities throughout the year.
