Kili Villa

General Facilities

Each of the villas is built around a private central courtyard that is entered into through antique doors. Kili Villas strike a careful balance between rustic and sophisticated; elegant and cosy. Textures run the gamut of stone-packed walls and cool white mosquito nets while the sitting areas are laid out under exposed wooden beams and warmed by open fireplaces. The comfortable sofas, chairs and 4-poster beds are bolstered by occasional pops of colour in the form of scatter cushions, tapestry rugs, punched lanterns and chandeliers. The emphasis is firmly on laidback airiness.

Kili Villas are within easy reach of Arusha, the gateway to some of Tanzania's top game areas like Arusha and Tarangire National Parks. With splendid views of Mounts Meru and Kilimanjaro, as well as the Maasai Steppe, Arusha is also the centre of Tanzania's coffee-growing industry – you are unlikely to savour a fresher cup of coffee than here. In addition to plantation tours, Arusha is home to the sparkling Tanzanite Museum and a thriving Maasai Market. Nearby Lake Duluti is ideal for canoeing and hiking.

Dining

The kitchen is largely the domain of the chef and housekeeping staff, and it is stocked with all the appliances they need to keep the villa running smoothly and to whizz up the delectable meals that appear on the dining room table.
