About this room

Elevated above the gardens, Sapphire Villa offers some of the most impressive views at Sunstone Beach. From the top-floor balcony, look across Lake Tanganyika towards the mountains of Congo as the evening sky transforms at sunset.

The two-storey villa features two bedrooms and two bathrooms, including a distinctive ground-floor bedroom carved into the rock. Its spacious living room overlooks a private garden just a few steps from the beach, while the elevated position provides beautiful all-round views of the lake.
