LUXURIANT GARDENS
Built in the 1920s, Villa Belle Époque reflects its colonial origins in style whilst being equipped with every modern amenity. Its outdoor spaces – swimming pool, sundecks and patios – are beautifully framed by a lush garden of mango, lemon, olive and guava trees. Interiors have a rich yet understated feel, with period-style furnishings set alongside works of contemporary Egyptian art.
You can dine indoors at the Acacia Restaurant or sit outside and make the most of the tranquillity of the hotel’s luxuriant gardens. If you feel like dining out, the neighbourhood has many stylish restaurants to explore, while the fabled Pyramids (and other iconic attractions) are a 30-minute drive away.

The service we received from The Ultimate Travel Company was second to none. Tania took the time to understand exactly what we wanted and helped us explore every option clearly and thoroughly. Her first-hand knowledge of Kenya and safaris made a real difference – she explained everything brilliantly. The thoughtful extras, like the travel wallet and documents, were such a lovely touch – especially for someone who loves to travel well-organised! Thank you so much. We’ll definitely be back for future adventures.
