Rwanda

The Retreat

PLAN MY TRIP

The Retreat is the first completely eco-friendly solar-powered 5-star boutique hotel in Kigali, Rwanda's the charming capital city.

Accommodations at the hotel consist of eleven spacious rooms. Each airy and well-appointed room includes peaked ceilings, locally crafted sustainable teak wood furniture, air conditioning, custom-made ceiling fans, a minibar, tea/coffee facilities, complimentary purified water, and large flat-screen televisions. The deluxe king rooms feature a cozy room with a private patio and an en suite bathroom with a teak vanity and indoor rain shower. While the larger superior king suites come with a front and rear patio with plenty of outdoor seating and a spacious en suite bathroom with a double teak vanity, indoor rain shower, and an outdoor shower. Both the rooms and suites have adjoining rooms for a family set-up.

Straddling several ridges and valleys, Kigali’s charms visitors with its twisting tree-lined boulevards and verdant hillsides making it one of the most attractive capital cities in Africa, as well as one of the cleanest and safest. Rising above the sobering reality of the 1994 genocide, Kigali has rebuilt itself to be an exciting and cosmopolitan city. Moreover, the hotel is also the perfect launching place for going further afield and taking in the sights of Akagera National Park, Volcanoes National Park, and Lake Kivu.

The hotel offers several bespoke adventures. For a unique view of the city, there are horse back riding tours to the top of Mount Kigali. Cycling enthusiast can enjoy a ride with a professional Team Rwanda biker. For a true cultural experience, guests can weave peace baskets with the women of Nyamirambo Women’s Center or spend the day learning how to run a local farm which ends with a home-cooked meal with a rural Rwandan family. Finally a trip to the Niyo Arts Gallery includes art lessons with the resident artists.

One of the best features of the hotel is the Wellness Center where guests can indulge in massage & spa treatments, meditation, yoga, fresh organic meals, and private fitness classes in the state-of-the-art gym. During the heat of the day, the refreshing saltwater Retreat and Garden Chalet pools are the ideal place to cool off and relax. For a delicious and one of kind meal, Fusion Restaurant dishes up a delectable menu of international cuisines fused with rich, local flavors and ingredients and all with a stunning view of the Retreat’s pool and rock gardens.
