At a glance

The stay in brief

A whole villa is how a group stays together in Kigali: four of the collection's four villas are booked whole to one group at a time, and they sleep from four to eight guests. Travellers from the UAE choose among Amahoro, Urugwiro, Irebero and Ikaze.

Getting to Kigali

The route from the UAE runs through a hub: most travellers connect through Doha (Qatar Airways), Cairo (EgyptAir) or Addis Ababa (Ethiopian Airlines).

Landing at night is not a problem: the pickup follows the flight, and the villa is about 15 to 20 minutes away.

Between Abu Dhabi and Kigali the clocks differ: Abu Dhabi is two hours ahead of Kigali.

Before you fly: Citizens of every country can get a visa on arrival at Kigali International Airport and at all land borders, or apply online before travelling. The visa fee does not exceed USD 50 for a single entry or USD 70 for multiple entries.

Price and payment

Rates are in US dollars. From the UAE, you can pay in US dollars (USD), in crypto, such as Tether (USDT) or Bitcoin (BTC), in Rwandan francs (RWF) and with MTN MoMo.

Villa rates begin from $200/night (about 735 AED). That figure follows the rate of 20 October 2026 (1 USD = 3.6725 AED); the concierge confirms the total in US dollars.

Once your dates are confirmed, the concierge sends the details; never pay to details found anywhere else.

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

Ask the concierge for private chef and groceries, private driver, restaurant and nightlife bookings and VIP airport fast-track and meet and greet; every service is quoted before you confirm.

The villas, in order for this stay

They are listed by size, because a group starts with the headcount.

Amahoro comes first: a private villa behind its own gate in Kibagabaga, a quiet residential part of Kigali. The principal suite adds a king bed, a rain shower and a soaking tub. Evenings move outdoors to the fire pit and the outdoor kitchen, and end in the cinema room. Amahoro sleeps eight in four en-suite bedrooms: one king and three queens.

Next, Urugwiro: a gated villa in Kacyiru with a duplex principal suite and a second lounge for a quieter corner. Urugwiro sleeps eight in four bedrooms: one king and three queens; three are en-suite and the fourth uses the hallway bathroom. A house manager is on the property, housekeeping is daily and a security guard is on duty around the clock.

Also here, Irebero, a four-bedroom villa on 1,000 m² of tropical gardens in Rebero, minutes from the city centre. Irebero's pool sits within the tropical gardens, with the hot tub beside it. After dark the wine bar becomes a private lounge for the group staying. Two full kitchens, an outdoor kitchen with a barbecue and outdoor terrace dining keep the group together over long meals. Irebero sleeps seven in four bedrooms: one king, two queens and one single; three are en-suite and a full guest bathroom is downstairs.

After that comes Ikaze, a two-suite villa in Niboye, fenced, gated and watched over by a security company day and night. The principal suite has a king bed under a canopy, a 65-inch screen and a balcony with views. Ikaze sleeps four in two air-conditioned en-suite bedrooms, one with a king bed under a canopy and one with a double bed; a half bathroom is there for guests.

“All in all the staff was extremely accommodating to our needs and has daily house cleaning.”
Darnell · Ikaze · October 2026
“It felt like a perfect blend of elegance, comfort, and privacy.”
