About Lake Victoria Serena Resort

A Tuscan-style hotel and golf resort overlooking Uganda’s Lake Victoria
This large hotel and golf resort has a commanding position on the shores of Lake Victoria, and surely ranks as one of Uganda’s most luxurious establishments. The resort is beautifully designed in the style of a Mediterranean hillside village, with clusters of villa-type rooms in the terraced rose gardens that lead down to the private marina. Outstanding leisure facilities include a PGA-affiliated championship golf course, a state-of-the-art gym and health spa, and boat cruises on the sparkling waters of the lake. The mix of luxurious accommodation and world-class sporting amenities makes this a superb choice for a stylish Ugandan breakaway.

Property details

The property

The palatial main hotel has a great choice of dining venues, including a casual all-day brasserie, a poolside terrace bar and café, a sophisticated piano bar, and an elegant Asian restaurant. Down at the water’s edge, the Club House overlooks the marina, with a restaurant and bar just next to the first hole. Within the grounds is a health spa, fully equipped gym, and tennis- and volleyball courts, plus a well-stocked gift shop.

The rooms

A total of 124 rooms are well spaced throughout the grounds, ranging in size from standard rooms to several larger executive suites, and then 2 magnificent presidential suites on the penthouse level. Standard interiors are elegantly decorated in shades of terracotta and cream, with queen or twin beds, a lounge, balcony, and lavish marble bathrooms. Executive suites offer more living and office space, while presidential suites have a private reception area, dining room and kitchen, and a beautiful outdoor terrace.

Activities

The resort boasts a great range of activities, including a challenging round of golf on the championship course, leisurely boat cruises, and guided birdwatching tours along the lakeshore and out to the nearby islands. Other options include working out in the fully equipped gym, a game of tennis or volleyball, and relaxing spa treatments. Explore the grounds and nature trails along the water, or for something a little different, join the chefs in the kitchen for an interactive cookery demonstration.

Something to think about

Something to think about

The hotel is quite large so you might lose the personal touch that can be found in boutique properties.
