Gomoti Villas

Just a few hundred meters from Gomoti River Lodge, nestled on its own private island and surrounded by water, you’ll find Gomoti Villas – a haven of space, exclusivity, and understated luxury. Offering all the comfort and elegance of a five-star deluxe retreat but without the hefty price tag, Gomoti Villas is designed for those seeking an intimate safari escape. Raised wooden walkways connect the villas and guest areas, allowing for seamless movement while preserving the pristine environment.

Each villa is spacious and thoughtfully designed, boasting breathtaking views of the lagoon. The layout consists of four key areas:

Every villa is also equipped with mosquito nets, ensuring a peaceful night’s sleep.

For families or groups, our spacious family villas offer the perfect setup. These consist of two villas side by side, separated by a covered outdoor lounge area – ideal for relaxation. This configuration is perfect for parents traveling with children, allowing for privacy while staying within earshot, or for two couples traveling together, who can enjoy the benefit of a shared outdoor space.

The main guest area is designed to maximize the stunning island views, offering wildlife sightings from both sides.
