Location

High up on the edge of the Honde Valley escarpment in Zimbabwe’s Eastern Highlands, SkyDeck has breathtaking, panoramic views, particularly of Mount Nyangani, the country’s highest mountain.

The idea behind this retreat is a sense of complete immersion in nature and seclusion, and its location lends itself to this perfectly. From the windows of your villa you’ll look out over the forested mountains, a leafy wilderness that’s not only perfect for relaxation, but also exploration and the high-energy activities that await.

Accommodation

Accommodation at the retreat is in the form of an exclusive use villa that sleeps four, though the retreat can accommodate larger groups too. For families, the SkyDeck Mountain Retreat is perfect and the spacious villa has everything you’ll need for a comfortable stay.

Though vast, the space is incredibly homely and welcoming featuring lots of African textile and soft furnishings. The main living area is open fronted whilst the bedroom has floor to ceiling windows, making the villa bright and airy, and meaning you enjoy the glorious views throughout your entire time here.
Food is prepared for you in your own private kitchen (complete with pizza oven which is great for family pizza nights!) and served in your dining area. Outside, there’s a private deck with a wood-fired hot tub, where you can unwind in the evening, resting your legs after an active day in the mountains. If you want to relax inside, curl up with a blanket and a novel, reading by the log fire as the chill of the evening descends.

You’ll have your own private butler, chef and guide who work together to ensure you have everything you need (and more) during your stay.
