Is the Hemingways Retreat Kigali for Me?

Tucked away in a quiet corner of central Kigali, The Retreat by Hemingways blends contemporary elegance with sustainable design. Surrounded by lush gardens and Rwandan warmth, this eco-luxury hotel is a calm sanctuary in the heart of the city — a place to rest, reset, and reconnect after a long journey or before exploring Rwanda’s wild landscapes.

The Retreat feels intimate yet refined, with spacious, light-filled rooms featuring private terraces, locally crafted furnishings, and touches of modern African art. Between excursions, you can cool off in the saltwater pool, unwind at the spa, or enjoy fresh, farm-to-table dining at Fusion, one of Kigali’s most celebrated restaurants.

Each stay is shaped around comfort, connection, and conscious living — from yoga sessions on the deck to quiet evenings under soft lantern light. Whether beginning or ending your Rwandan journey, you’ll find The Retreat Kigali a space of calm energy and understated luxury.

Ideal for couples, wellness travellers, and those seeking a sustainable city stay before or after gorilla trekking adventures.
