The Development
A showcase villa on a peaceful Rubavu hillside
Steps from Lake Kivu's western shore, with a private pool throughout. Designed with a modern tropical approach, the architecture centres on wellness living from the very start. Clean lines, open layouts, and natural light work together with greenery and fresh airflow.
B&P Ever Retreat Villa sits on the shores of Lake Kivu — moments from Rubavu town and Gisenyi. The location attracts visitors for sunset cruises, water sports, and lakeside relaxation, with consistent weekend and holiday demand from regional and international visitors.
B&P Ever Retreat Villa is our completed showcase villa, built to the same design and construction standard as every Ever Design development. It is not currently for sale.
At a Glance
Tourism Designated Zone
Why the Zoning Matters
This development sits in a tourism-designated zone, which permits short-term rental and hospitality use under Rwanda's land zoning rules. That matters for your investment — you're operating with the zone, not against it.
Legal Short-Term Rentals
Short-term and holiday rentals are a permitted use in this zone, not a legal grey area you have to work around.
Aligned With Local Regulations
Your rental operation matches what this zone is actually designated for, rather than relying on an exception or workaround.
Simpler Permitting
Tourism and hospitality permit applications align with the zone's intended use, rather than fighting against it.
The Long View
