The Suite
Villa Thandawena, the flagship Royal Residence, an inspired, five-bedroom contemporary residence with a private helipad and Airbus H 130 B4 private helicopter, perched effortlessly atop the endless southern foothills of the Great African Rift Valley. An exquisite space where ancient stone and textured leathers complement glass and steel, and a floating butterfly roof invites natural light and ventilation for a gentle footprint on the earth.
With five en-suite bedrooms, each featuring master crafted Hästens beds, including the main suite’s exceptional Hästens Grand Vividus, Villa Thandawena offers a thoroughly royal experience. Highlights include a grand royal lounge, cigar lounge, bar lounge, indoor and outdoor dining areas, infinity pool and jacuzzi, expansive viewing deck, a sauna with Himalayan salt wall, boma, fire pit, pop-up outdoor gym, and a tranquil relaxation sala.
All stays include an expert safari guide, tracker, and open-top game viewing vehicle, wilderness walks within the Royal Thanda Club Estate, as well as private helicopter airport transfers, making for an unforgettable VIP safari adventure.

Suite Collection is a curated collection of beautiful suites at the world's most iconic and unique destinations, complimented with access to the most awe-inspiring and incredible experiences on offer.
We are committed to enhancing your journey, one memorable moment at a time. Our Suite Collection promise to you is that our guests always get our best prices and personalised service that exceed your expectations.
Suite Collection's Tailored Experiences gives you access to the most exceptional multi-day luxury itineraries in the world. From the volcanic landscapes of Iceland, to the ancient temples of Japan and New Zealand' majestic high country, each itinerary has been built on one single promise - deliver nothing short of the absolute pinnacle of what every destination has to offer.
Our Tailored Experiences give you the inside knowledge and access of a seasoned local, knowing exactly where to stay, where to dine and where to go - before you've even arrived.
At Suite Collection, we believe that extraordinary travel should leave the world a little better than we found it. That's the idea behind our Book with Purpose initiative. For every reservation made through our platform, a portion of the proceeds is directed to one of the world's leading non-for-profit charities.
Each month, Suite Collection nominates one of our preferred charities, partnering with our guests to give back to a greater cause.
Once a reservation is confirmed, a member of our team personally reaches out - not with an automated message, but with a genuine conversation to understand the finer details of the trip, anticipate our guests' needs, and shape the experience around them. That might mean arranging a private transfer, letting the property know about a special occasion ahead of arrival or securing tickets to a VIP event - whatever it takes, we're here to help elevate every journey you embark on.
At Suite Collection, we don't do points. Loyalty programmes ask guests to wait and collect - we'd rather listen.
Every stay includes a considered surprise and delight, something chosen because we've taken the time to understand what you actually loves, not because it ticks a rewards-tier box. It's waiting for you when they arrive, not redeemed after the fact. That's the difference: points reward loyalty to a programme. We reward the guest.
