One&Only Gorilla’s Nest

    Cradled at the foot of Rwanda’s Volcanoes National Park, One&Only Gorilla’s Nest is a high-design jungle retreat made for adventure. Elevated on stilts amid swaying eucalyptus trees, its suites and lodges bring the outdoors in with panoramic forest views, alfresco bathtubs, and earthy textures.

    Mornings begin with the call of golden monkeys; days might unfold on rainforest trails or over Rwandan bean infusions and wood-fired cuisine. Here, gorilla trekking is only steps away, and so is the kind of wellness that grounds you – body, mind, and spirit.
