The stay in brief
Three of Black Key's four Kigali villas have a private pool: Urugwiro, Irebero and Amahoro. Each is booked whole, to one group at a time, so travellers from Uganda get the water to themselves.

The villas, in order for this stay
Ranked by the setting of the water: Urugwiro leads, and each villa that follows keeps its pool private to your group.
The list opens at Urugwiro: a Kacyiru villa with terraces over the city, a pool and a barbecue in the gardens. Urugwiro's infinity pool reflects the villa and the sky, with a covered lounge above it. Urugwiro's terraces look out over the city from Kacyiru. Urugwiro stands on 2,000 m² of gated, landscaped grounds, with flowering paths and lawns around the pool.
Another house, Irebero, a hillside villa in the Rebero Hills with a pool and hot tub, a spa room, a private gym and a wine bar. At Irebero the outdoor kitchen and barbecue sit beside the terrace dining area, on top of two full kitchens indoors. Irebero's pool sits within the tropical gardens, with the hot tub beside it.
Then Amahoro: Kibagabaga's villa of four suites, two living rooms, a pool and a cinema room. At Amahoro the outdoor kitchen and barbecue sit close to the fire pit, so dinner and the evening happen in one place. Amahoro's long pool runs along the villa and is lit at dusk, with a fire-pit bench beside it.
“It felt like a perfect blend of elegance, comfort, and privacy.”
“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.”
