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.
We begin with Irebero, a villa in the quiet Rebero Hills where the wine bar becomes the group's private lounge after dark. Irebero's wine bar sits near the entrance and becomes a private lounge for the group after dark. Irebero's spa room is free to use; a professional massage therapist is available for a fee.
Second on this page, 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.
Another house, Amahoro, a duplex villa in Kibagabaga with the feel of a penthouse, a pool and a fire pit for the evenings. Evenings move outdoors to the fire pit and the outdoor kitchen, and end in the cinema room. Amahoro's long pool runs along the villa and is lit at dusk, with a fire-pit bench beside it. 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. Ikaze has Netflix ready on the TV and already signed in, and a Smart TV in each bedroom. 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.”
