"Surrounded by the awe-inspiring jungles of Rwanda, One&Only Nyungwe House boasts gorgeous accommodations, vibrant cuisine and myriad ways to experience the surrounding natural wonderland."

An unforgettable blend of untamed wilderness and sophisticated luxury, One&Only Nyungwe House is Rwanda as you've never seen it before. Set in the heart of the lush jungle, this resort is perched on a tea plantation enveloped by jaw-dropping wilderness: think dramatic mountain ranges, tumbling rainforests and – of course – all the wildlife that comes with it. Adventurous guests could hardly ask for a better launching pad from which to explore, and the resort’s marvellous amenities ensure plentiful pampering after a day filled with adventures.

Twenty-two accommodations come in just two different varieties: the Nyungwe Room and the Two-Bedroom Forest Suite. Whichever you choose, you can expect to be perched at the edge of the rainforest. Private balconies heighten the feeling of seclusion and invite guests to soak in the stunning natural beauty (keep an eye out for monkeys), and the ensuing awe-inspiring views pair with gorgeous design to create a uniquely immersive retreat....   Show more

Sumptuous interiors are set entirely in earth tones with plenty of natural materials used throughout. Rwandan artwork lends a distinct sense of place, four-poster beds up the luxe factor and lovely bathrooms have deep soaking tubs alongside walk-in showers that face the forest.

There's no shortage of things to do in and around the resort, whether you're in the pursuit of adventure, relaxation or romance. Jungle walks, guided climbs through treetop canopies and stargazing after dark are just a few of the opportunities for guests to get acquainted with the Rwandan wilderness. Knowledgeable guides create bespoke trekking experiences, and guests can also take to the skies to see Nyungwe National Park by helicopter. The One&Only Spa is an oasis of holistic wellness; you’ll want to visit both for the indulgent eco-friendly treatments as well as the inspiring views. A plethora of options geared towards couples offers memorable ways to connect with your partner, from thrilling hikes to couples’ spa treatments and intimate dining experiences.

Speaking of dining, the food at One&Only is sublime. Menus change with the seasons, are custom-tailored for each guest by the resort's creative chefs and are vibrant explorations of authentic Rwandan flavours. Given the resort’s Tea Plantation location, a visit to the Tea Lounge is practically obligatory: there you can enjoy local teas and sweet treats as you gaze out at the plantation itself. Tea isn't the only beverage that the resort does well; a fabulous wine cellar serves as a marvellous introduction to South African vineyards.
