The villas, in order for this stay
Largest first: the order follows capacity, then the shared spaces outdoors.
The list opens at Amahoro: a private villa behind its own gate in Kibagabaga, a quiet residential part of Kigali. Amahoro sleeps eight in four en-suite bedrooms: one king and three queens. A house manager is on site, housekeeping is daily and security is on duty around the clock. Amahoro's long pool runs along the villa and is lit at dusk, with a fire-pit bench beside it.
Also here, Urugwiro, a four-bedroom villa on 2,000 m² of gated grounds in Kacyiru, with an infinity pool and an outdoor hot tub. Urugwiro's infinity pool reflects the villa and the sky, with a covered lounge above it. A house manager is on the property, housekeeping is daily and a security guard is on duty around the clock. Urugwiro sleeps eight in four bedrooms: one king and three queens; three are en-suite and the fourth uses the hallway bathroom.
Irebero follows: a villa in Rebero with two full kitchens, an outdoor kitchen and long terrace dinners. Irebero sleeps seven in four bedrooms: one king, two queens and one single; three are en-suite and a full guest bathroom is downstairs. Air conditioning is in the principal suite and the second bedroom; the other rooms have modern ceiling fans.
Ikaze is the next door to open: a villa in Niboye with a shaded patio, a lawn, an outdoor playground and a high chair.
