Kigali Golf Resort Hotel is located near Victoria Falls, one of the world’s most awe-inspiring natural wonders. Situated on the Zambezi River, the falls create a dramatic border between Zambia and Zimbabwe. Guests can immerse themselves in the region's natural beauty, marvel at the grandeur of the falls, and explore the nearby national parks, rich with wildlife and scenic landscapes. Every detail at the resort has been thoughtfully designed to create a seamless connection between luxury, nature, and relaxation, ensuring that each guest leaves feeling rejuvenated, restored, and deeply connected to the surrounding environment.
The hotel’s organic design is inspired by the surrounding valley and hills. The stepped terraces open to the landscape, creating a visual connection across all levels. Flowing curves define the architecture, blending the building harmoniously with its natural surroundings. A palette of natural materials, including wood, stone, and beige tones, enhances the design’s sense of warmth and continuity.
At the heart of the building is a cylindrical core, housing the main circulation, while two rectangular wings extend outward, forming a striking corner. The spacious balcony provides essential shading from the sun, while a skylight above the cylindrical volume floods the interior with natural light. Between the two wings lies the outdoor pool, a peaceful oasis where guests can unwind, enjoy the sun, relax by the firepit, or sip cocktails all while surrounded by serene views of the landscape.
The use of natural materials continues throughout, with wood and stone featured prominently in the interiors. The lobby, bathed in natural light, brings the outdoors inside, with green elements evoking a sense of tranquility. The curved architecture flows seamlessly through the space, creating a fresh, organic atmosphere. In the restaurant, soft tones of mint green, beige, and grey create a calming ambiance, while the continuation of arched forms adds a dynamic feel, framing each perspective with elegance.
This connection to nature and harmony is echoed in the hotel rooms, where wood accents complement the neutral beige and brown tones, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. Glass partitions in the bathrooms offer unobstructed views of the outdoors, allowing guests to enjoy a relaxing bath in harmony with nature. Every detail of the room has been carefully designed for comfort and relaxation.
For guests seeking ultimate tranquility, the resort offers a world-class spa with a serene relaxation area, a hydromassage pool and sauna, providing the perfect escape to unwind and recharge. Here, guests can indulge in rejuvenating treatments or simply unwind in the peaceful ambiance, reconnecting with nature and restoring their inner balance. Whether enjoying a soothing massage, relaxing in the sauna, or lounging in the tranquil environment, the spa offers a truly restorative experience.
