Our story
Stay With Us

Find a place that fits you

Fourteen ways to stay on the lakeshore: five villas with stone walls and lake views, seven bungalows set among the gardens, and luxury tents pitched on the sand.

Villas

5 units · from BIF 1,700,000

Natural stone walls, private terraces and living rooms that open onto the water. The largest sleep four to six, and Turquoise has a pool of its own.

Bungalows

7 units · from BIF 950,000

Thatched and set among the gardens, each a few steps from the sand — from a balcony reaching out over the lake to a private garden hut for your sundowner.

Luxury Tents

2 units · from BIF 600,000

Canvas on the beach, with nothing between you and the sound of the water. Nomad has its own steps down to the sand.

Restaurant & Bar

Local flavours, and a cocktail at any hour

Our chef uses all his talent to introduce you to local flavours and spices from around the world, served under a thatched roof beside the water. Open daily, 6:30 am to 10:30 pm.

At the bar our mixologist offers classic cocktails alongside his own signatures — open from 7:00 am, because it is always cocktail o’clock somewhere.
