Just as Alyssa witnessed the exciting opening of an internationally renowned luxury resort in northern Rwanda, Kigali decided that it deserves a luxury boutique hotel for its talented tourists, including Kinigi's only one, Wilderness Bisate, Singita. In 2018, Alyssa opened Retreat, a 20-room Kigali 5-star luxury boutique hotel that includes eight super luxurious pool villas and tables, plus fine dining, fusion and a new farm. To date, Heaven and Retreat have trained and recruited over 3,500 Rwandas in hospitality, having a lasting impact on the community and tourism sector.
