Villa Maua, or “House of Flowers,” is located not far off from Clock Tower Roundabout in Arusha, East Africa’s safari capital. This boutique property, inspired by the Cape Dutch architectural style, offers guests a unique blend of historical charm and modern luxury. With only nine garden rooms, Villa Maua provides an intimate and personalized experience that’s rare in larger hotels.

Each room features a private veranda, offering guests a personal retreat to enjoy the serene environment, filled with the scents and sounds of nature. The gardens contribute to the villa’s name, with various flowers and plants enhancing the visual and olfactory pleasures of the stay.

Villa Maua’s interior design is a testament to thoughtful luxury. The use of natural hardwood furniture, combined with contemporary lines, provides an ambience that feels both modern and timeless, infused with the spirit of Africa. This design philosophy extends to the bathrooms, which are equipped with the luxurious Amarula amenities, ensuring every detail of the guest’s stay is considered.

The villa’s dining options reflect the same attention to quality and comfort. Guests have the choice of three dining areas: an indoor air-conditioned restaurant, a garden terrace, or a charming courtyard, each offering a different experience of enjoying the culinary delights prepared by the fully staffed kitchen. From hearty breakfasts to light snacks and refined dinners, Villa Maua caters to all tastes with a menu that respects both local flavors and international palates.
