Rubavu · Lake Kivu · Rwanda
Thirteen rooms and suites overlooking one of Africa's great lakes. Kivu Vista Retreat is where quiet mornings and warm hospitality meet.
Explore RoomsWelcome
Kivu Vista Retreat sits on the terraced hills above Rubavu, where the water changes colour with the hour. Every room was designed to frame that view — warm timber, hand-woven textiles, and quiet corners for reading, resting, or simply watching the fishing boats drift home at dusk.
From sunrise coffee tours to sunset boat rides, our team curates a stay that feels personal, unhurried, and rooted in this corner of Rwanda.
