Makena’s Hills is spacious, refined, and deeply personal. Every room and shared space is adorned with special antiques and collector’s pieces, giving the feeling of staying in a cared-for private residence rather than a lodge.

 

Here, you wake to views that stretch across the Great Rift Valley and end your day in the glow of a setting sun, surrounded by comfort, quiet, and beauty.

​

The main reception area features two welcoming fireplaces—private living rooms in their own right—alongside intimate dining areas for small gatherings and larger spaces where everyone can come together. A front terrace opens to a campfire and a natural rock swimming pool, the perfect place to cool off in the heat of the day.

 

The Yoga Shala looks out over an expansive valley where kudu, bushbuck, and impala sometimes graze within sight. It’s an inspiring spot to stretch after a walk or to sit and simply watch the land breathe.

​

Accommodation is in eight large, airy, permanent Arabic-style beige tents, each carefully furnished with antiques chosen for character and charm. Every tent offers exceptional views and comes with either a large double poster bed or two queen beds, plus a spacious dressing room and bathroom. Raised on wooden or stone decks, the tents feature large verandahs and a private breakfast table—also ideal for a personal yoga lesson.

​

Dining at Makena’s Hills is fresh, innovative, and healthy, with produce sourced locally and much of it picked from our own organic gardens.

 

Meals are served in settings designed to match the mood: on your verandah for privacy, in the communal dining space for conversation, or in the wild for something more adventurous.
