Premium residences in Kigali for travellers from the Åland Islands: four villas, each booked to one group at a time, with a concierge for the airport pickup, the driver and the chef.
Measured in a straight line, it is about 6,955 km from Mariehamn to Kigali. Because of daylight saving time, Mariehamn is on the same time as Kigali in January and one hour ahead of Kigali in July.
From the Åland Islands, most travellers connect through Brussels (Brussels Airlines), London Heathrow (RwandAir) or Paris CDG (RwandAir); your concierge plans the connection.
Citizens of every country can get a visa on arrival at Kigali International Airport and at all land borders, or apply online before travelling. The visa fee does not exceed USD 50 for a single entry or USD 70 for multiple entries. We link the official immigration page below; Irembo is where online applications are made.
Euro (EUR) is not used for the booking itself: villas are quoted in US dollars, payable in USD, Rwandan francs, MTN MoMo, Airtel Money or crypto.
Payment details come only from the concierge, after your dates are confirmed.
Cash is also accepted on arrival at the villa, in US dollars or Rwandan francs, with a written receipt from the concierge.
The Black Key Arrival, airport pickup included, comes with stays of three nights or more at Amahoro and Urugwiro; elsewhere it is quoted first.
The collection has four villas: Amahoro (Kibagabaga, eight guests), Urugwiro (Kacyiru, eight), Irebero (Rebero, seven) and Ikaze (Kicukiro, four). Several villas can be booked together for a larger group.
