The villas, in order for this stay
For a group the first question is room, so the villas are in order of how many they sleep, then by what the group can share outside.
We begin with Amahoro, a private villa behind its own gate in Kibagabaga, a quiet residential part of Kigali. Amahoro's long pool runs along the villa and is lit at dusk, with a fire-pit bench beside it. Evenings move outdoors to the fire pit and the outdoor kitchen, and end in the cinema room. The living room and the Red Room are air-conditioned; the bedrooms have modern ceiling fans. Amahoro sleeps eight in four en-suite bedrooms: one king and three queens.
Second on this page, 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. The principal suite is a duplex with its own lounge. A house manager is on the property, housekeeping is daily and a security guard is on duty around the clock.
Then Irebero: a four-bedroom villa on 1,000 m² of tropical gardens in Rebero, minutes from the city centre. 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.
Another house, Ikaze, a two-suite villa in Niboye, fenced, gated and watched over by a security company day and night. At Ikaze the living room becomes the Red Room after dark, with Netflix ready on the TV. Ikaze's garden is very large and manicured, with a shaded patio for four and an outdoor playground. 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.”
“It felt like a perfect blend of elegance, comfort, and privacy.”
