The private half of the Jumba Nungwi resort: 49 single-storey villas on their own plot across the road from the hotel, laid out around a central park with a lagoon pool, yoga deck, playground and sports ground. Two types — Couple Villa 64 m² and Family Villa 96 m² — each with a private pool and courtyard.

The villa quarter is a separate product with a separate buyer. It has its own gated entrance group, its own street grid, its own core with a lagoon pool and pavilions, and 4,340 m² of built area — while the resort's hotel services, restaurants and spa stay a two-minute walk away, across the road.

Two layouts cover the two demand profiles: Couple Villa of 64 m² with one bedroom for couples and rental, Family Villa of 96 m² with two bedrooms for families and long stays. Both are single-storey with a private pool, a shaded courtyard and a green roof — no neighbours overlooking, no stairs, low running cost.

The park is the product, not the leftover space: a lagoon pool with mushroom pavilions, a yoga deck, a children's playground and a sports ground, all within a three-minute walk of any villa. It is what lets the villas be priced as a resort product rather than as detached houses in the bush.

Materials follow the hotel — terracotta plaster, timber screens, thatched pitched roofs, drip-irrigated greenery — so the two halves read as one resort while each keeps its own scale and privacy.

The resort as a whole is a Silver Winner at the A' Design Award 2026 and an Honorable Mention at the LIV Hospitality Design Awards 2025.
