A whole house, just for two
A honeymoon should feel like nowhere else. In a Black Key residence the house is yours alone: each villa is booked to one group at a time, behind its own gate, with a house manager on site and housekeeping every day. No lobby, no other guests, no one but the two of you.
And you never plan alone. Nkeng, your concierge, is one WhatsApp message away, from your first question to the day you leave.
Arranged for the two of you
Tell Nkeng the occasion when you enquire, and the house is ready before you arrive.
Romantic set-up or private dinner
A romantic room set-up, or a private dinner at the residence.
Private chef
Meals cooked in the villa, to your tastes and dietary preferences. Please ask in advance.
In-villa massage
At Irebero, in the villa's own spa room, from a professional therapist.
Airport pickup
A car to meet you at Kigali International Airport, arranged before you fly.
The Black Key Arrival
At Urugwiro and Amahoro, airport pickup is included for stays of 3 nights or more.
Apart from The Black Key Arrival, each service is for a fee, quoted before you confirm. Availability varies by residence.
Before or after the gorillas
If your honeymoon includes a gorilla trek or a safari, a villa in Kigali makes a calm base before and after your travels. Nkeng arranges tours, transport and airport pickup around your plans, each quoted before you confirm.
Three villas for two
Every villa in the collection can be booked for two. These three suit a couple best. Netflix is already signed in for a slow night in.
Ikaze
From $200 / night
Made for couples. After dark the living room becomes the Red Room, with red mood lighting around a 100-inch screen, and the principal suite has a canopy bed and its own balcony.
- A very large private garden and a shaded patio
- Fenced and gated, with security day and night
- The airport 10 to 15 minutes away
- A romantic set-up on request
Irebero
From $399 / night
For a slower, wellness-led stay: a pool and hot tub in tropical gardens, a spa room that is yours to use, and a wine bar that becomes your private lounge after dark.
- A massage in the spa room, from a professional therapist (for a fee)
- A rooftop lounge over Kigali's hills
- A romantic set-up on request
Urugwiro
From $700 / night
Two people, one gated compound: 2,000 m² of gardens, an infinity pool and an outdoor hot tub, and a duplex principal suite with its own lounge.
- The Black Key Arrival: airport pickup included for stays of 3 nights or more.
- Restaurants and cafés a short walk from the gate
- A private chef on request
“All in all the staff was extremely accommodating to our needs and has daily house cleaning.”
“It’s in a very central location and short drives to the downtown business area, the convention center and Kimihurura.”
“Had an amazing stay at Nkeng’s place. Highly recommended!”

Questions about your honeymoon
Is the whole villa ours?
Yes. Each villa is booked to one group at a time, so the house, the garden and, at Irebero and Urugwiro, the pool are yours alone.
Can you arrange a romantic set-up or a private dinner?
Yes, on request and for a fee. Mention the occasion when you enquire and Nkeng will quote it before you confirm.
Can we have a private chef?
Yes, at every villa, on request. Please ask in advance; the chef's fee and the groceries are charged separately.
Is a massage possible?
At Irebero, the spa room is free to use and a professional massage therapist is available for a fee. For the other villas, ask Nkeng.
Can you pick us up at the airport?
Yes, for any stay, for a fee. At Urugwiro and Amahoro, pickup is included for stays of 3 nights or more (The Black Key Arrival). Ikaze is 10 to 15 minutes from Kigali International Airport.
Do we pay a deposit?
No deposit is needed. Nkeng confirms the total in writing before you arrive, and payment can be made on arrival. Bank transfer, card and mobile money are accepted.
Is it for anniversaries too?
Of course. Honeymoons, anniversaries and proposals are all welcome: choose the occasion in the booking form and tell Nkeng what you have in mind.
