Riverbank Plunge Pool Villa

A riverside retreat for couples or solo travellers. Plunge pool, scenic decks, indoor-outdoor living, and sunrise views all surrounded by the wild rhythm of Ruaha.

The Riverbank Plunge Pool Villa rests at the edge of the riverbed, where mornings open with the soft glow of sunrise across the sand and evenings fade into gold as the sun drops behind the baobab forest. This stretch of the Ruaha River is a living stage, still one moment, stirring with movement the next, and the villa is positioned to keep guests connected to it throughout the day. Inside, the palette is drawn from the landscape: warm sun-baked earth, the soft greys of ancient baobab bark, and muted woodland greens. Smooth stone, woven fibres, and gently weathered wood echo the textures of the terrain, creating a space that feels both grounded and refined. The private pool follows the river’s slow rhythm. From its edge, guests can watch light shift across the riverbed, listen to calls drifting through the trees, and take in views that stretch from first light to the deep amber of sunset.
