The stay in brief

For travellers from Kenya, the pool answer is three villas out of four: Urugwiro, Irebero and Amahoro. None is shared with other guests.

Getting to Kigali

Getting here from Kenya is direct: Kenya Airways and RwandAir fly non-stop from Nairobi (NBO), and RwandAir flies with one stop from Mombasa (MBA).

From the airport the drive to the villa is about 20 minutes, at any hour of the day or night.

Between Nairobi and Kigali the clocks differ: Nairobi is one hour ahead of Kigali.

Citizens of East African Community partner states receive an entry pass free of charge on arrival, for a stay of up to six months.

Price and payment

Rates are in US dollars. From Kenya, you can pay with MTN MoMo, with Airtel Money, in US dollars (USD), in Rwandan francs (RWF) and in crypto, such as Tether (USDT).

A whole villa starts from $399/night (about 51,800 KES). Converted amounts use the rate of 20 October 2026 (1 USD = 129.77 KES) and are a guide, not a quote.

No payment details are published on this website: the concierge sends them once 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.

Good to know

Each villa is booked to one group at a time, so the whole house is yours.

A private chef cooks in the villa on request, and for a larger group a second or third chef joins.

Arranged by your concierge

On request the concierge arranges private chef and groceries, in-villa massage and spa, yoga and personal trainer and currency exchange, with the fee confirmed first.

The villas, in order for this stay

The order follows the pool setting: Urugwiro first, then the others, each with its own water and its own garden.

At the head of the list, Urugwiro: a four-bedroom villa on 2,000 m² of gated grounds in Kacyiru, with an infinity pool and an outdoor hot tub. Urugwiro has a barbecue in the gardens of its 2,000 m² grounds. Urugwiro's terraces look out over the city from Kacyiru. At Urugwiro the hot tub is outdoors, in the gardens of the gated grounds. Urugwiro's infinity pool reflects the villa and the sky, with a covered lounge above it.

The second address is Irebero, Rebero's villa of wellness: a spa room free to use, a gym, a pool and a rooftop lounge over the city. Irebero's pool sits within the tropical gardens, with the hot tub beside it. At Irebero the outdoor kitchen and barbecue sit beside the terrace dining area, on top of two full kitchens indoors.

The second address is Amahoro, a duplex villa in Kibagabaga with the feel of a penthouse, a pool and a fire pit for the evenings. Amahoro's long pool runs along the villa and is lit at dusk, with a fire-pit bench beside it. At Amahoro the outdoor kitchen and barbecue sit close to the fire pit, so dinner and the evening happen in one place.

“It felt like a perfect blend of elegance, comfort, and privacy.”
Vania O. · Urugwiro · September 2026
“We will be back, that is for sure. Rare to find a property that meets all your requirement but this is a pristine development with a lovely pool.”
Akinbamidele · Amahoro · August 2026
