Corporate retreats and private events in Burundi
A discreet lakeside setting for leadership meetings, NGO workshops, embassy gatherings, team building and private group stays.
Space to think and focus
Just 59.4 km south of Bujumbura, Sunstone Beach Resort offers a private and discreet setting on the shores of Lake Tanganyika for corporate retreats, leadership meetings, NGO workshops, embassy gatherings, strategy sessions and team-building stays in Burundi.
Designed for small groups of up to 30 guests, Sunstone combines accommodation, flexible meeting arrangements, reliable Wi-Fi, dining, transport assistance and personalised hospitality within one peaceful resort. Away from the distractions of the city, teams have the space to focus, connect and spend meaningful time together.
Not another conference room
Sunstone is not a traditional conference hotel. Meeting spaces are arranged around the needs of each group, with lake views, gardens and quiet outdoor areas offering a refreshing alternative to conventional meeting rooms. A large flat-screen TV is available for presentations, while a projector and screen can be arranged in advance.
For longer stays, groups can combine meetings with accommodation, meals, activities and team-building experiences. Subject to availability, organisations can also reserve selected areas or arrange exclusive use of the resort for confidential meetings, executive gatherings and private corporate events.

Surrounded by gardens and nature, the resort gives couples and their guests the feeling of escaping somewhere completely different. The beach, landscaped gardens, stone terraces, restaurant and bar allow each part of the day to have its own setting, while on-site accommodation keeps family and friends together in one place.
Sunstone is also ideal for proposals, vow renewals, milestone birthdays and anniversary dinners. Tell us what you are celebrating, and our team will help you create an experience that feels personal, relaxed and memorable.
