The Retreat – Eco‑Friendly Luxury Boutique Hotel & Spa in Kigali

Set on a hill in central Kigali, The Retreat is Rwanda’s first eco‑friendly luxury boutique hotel created by Josh and Alissa Ruxin. The property features just 11 beautifully appointed rooms and suites, each with private patios, outdoor rain showers and organic toiletries. Solar panels power a heated saltwater swimming pool, and sustainable design details showcase local craftsmanship.

Guests can enjoy farm‑to‑table dining at the on‑site Fusion Restaurant, unwind in the stylish lounge, or indulge in spa treatments, yoga classes and a fully equipped gym. The Retreat also offers access to the neighbouring Heaven Restaurant. Its tranquil setting, personalised service and commitment to the community make The Retreat an ideal choice for travellers seeking an upscale yet environmentally conscious stay in Kigali.
