An award-recognised architectural landmark clad in local Meru stone and inspired by monastic design, with a strong wellness focus and conservation ethos.

An exclusive-use stone-built sanctuary on Borana Conservancy that blends contemporary and monastic architecture into the hillside, sleeping up to ten. It pairs serious design pedigree with a wellness-led offering of spa, gym, pool and yoga. Wildlife roams freely across the open Borana-Lewa corridor below.
