The villas, in order for this stay
These are the villas where airport pickup comes with the stay; the pool, the cinema and the gardens set the order.
Start with Amahoro, a gated villa in Kibagabaga with a private pool, the Red Room cinema and terraces that look across the hills. At Amahoro, a stay of three nights or more includes the airport pickup, The Black Key Arrival. From Kigali International Airport, Amahoro is about 20 minutes by car.
Then Urugwiro: a gated villa in Kacyiru with a duplex principal suite and a second lounge for a quieter corner. From Kigali International Airport, Urugwiro is about 20 minutes by car.
