When it comes to mesmerising views, Lake Kivu Serena Hotel sets the bar high.
From the sandy, palm-fringed beach, you can gaze out over the shimmering waters of Africa’s sixth-largest lake in one direction and the jungle-covered volcanoes of the Virunga Massif in the other. The epic vistas, waterside setting and clean-cut, white-washed buildings barely visible through the lush planting help to give this elegant resort hotel a breezy charm. Add to this a carefully chosen range of facilities and it’s no surprise that it’s as popular with local urbanites and ex-pats for weekend breaks and family holidays as it is with visitors seeking some R&R between mountain gorilla and chimpanzee treks.
The interiors are designed to be soothing and restful, which means airy open-plan public spaces and neutral décor with dashes of earthy African colours. There’s a spectacular swimming pool, a spa and gym, and sports such as tennis, volleyball and kayaking.
