The villas, in order for this stay
Ranked for two, or for a celebration, by the evening each house can set: spa, hot tub, rooftop, wine bar, fire pit.
At the head of the list, Irebero: a hillside villa in the Rebero Hills with a pool and hot tub, a spa room, a private gym and a wine bar. Irebero's rooftop lounge looks out over the city from the Rebero Hills. Irebero's pool sits within the tropical gardens, with the hot tub beside it. Irebero's spa room is free to use; a professional massage therapist is available for a fee.
Next, Urugwiro: a gated villa in Kacyiru with a duplex principal suite and a second lounge for a quieter corner. At Urugwiro the hot tub is outdoors, in the gardens of the gated grounds. Urugwiro stands on 2,000 m² of gated, landscaped grounds, with flowering paths and lawns around the pool. Urugwiro's infinity pool reflects the villa and the sky, with a covered lounge above it. Urugwiro's living room becomes the Red Room cinema lounge at night, with a 100-inch screen and lights that change colour.
Then Amahoro: a gated villa in Kibagabaga with a private pool, the Red Room cinema and terraces that look across the hills. Amahoro has Netflix ready on the TV and already signed in, and the Red Room is there for a film night with a 100-inch screen. Evenings move outdoors to the fire pit and the outdoor kitchen, and end in the cinema room. Amahoro's fire pit sits in a sunken lounge by the pool, lit after dark.
Then Ikaze: a standalone villa in Niboye, Kicukiro, made for couples, 10 to 15 minutes from the airport. The principal suite has a king bed under a canopy, a 65-inch screen and a balcony with views. At Ikaze the living room becomes the Red Room after dark, with Netflix ready on the TV.
“All in all the staff was extremely accommodating to our needs and has daily house cleaning.”
“It felt like a perfect blend of elegance, comfort, and privacy.”
