The Retreat

Heaven Retreat is the brainchild of Alissa and Josh Ruxin, whose vision transcends mere luxury lodging

The essence of Heaven Retreat lies not only in its well-appointed architecture or the refined experience it offers, but also in a conscientious engagement with responsible tourism. Strategically located in Kigali, Rwanda, the hotel bridges the urban appeal of its city-center location with a steadfast commitment to socio-economic upliftment, thereby establishing itself as an exemplary travel destination.

Heaven Retreat distinguishes itself through its culinary offerings, crafted to meet the tastes of a global clientele while emphasizing the richness of local Rwandan ingredients. The on-site restaurant serves an eclectic menu that includes both international classics and local delicacies, a reflection of Kigali’s growing cosmopolitan nature. This focus on gastronomic excellence provides an added dimension to the guest experience, inviting them to explore Rwanda not just through its landscapes and history, but also through its diverse culinary traditions. For those who consider fine dining an integral part of travel, Heaven Retreat’s restaurant extends the luxury of the hotel into a comprehensive sensory experience.
