Reclaim Your Peace of Mind at Good Mood Beach Resort
Just a short drive from Kigali, nestled on the Nyagasambu side of Lake Muhazi, Good Mood Beach Resort is a weekend cheat code you will be glad to discover. It’s so conveniently close to the city that escaping to this peaceful lakeside spot might be easier than your average rush-hour commute through Kigali’s traffic.
From Nyagasambu Market, the drive to Good Mood Beach Resort begins with a gentle uphill climb, followed by a winding descent toward the calm shores of Lake Muhazi. The final stretch may be a bit rough—and muddy during the rainy season—but it adds a sense of adventure to the trip. Along the way, the route weaves through a patchwork of farms, scattered homesteads, and a relaxed rural commercial street of sorts. It’s a reminder that an authentic glimpse into everyday life in rural Rwanda is just a short drive away.
From the moment you drive through the gate, the Good Mood state of mind is activated instantly. It’s like flipping a switch. You catch the scent of grilled fish drifting through the air, hear laughter skipping across the garden, and feel the warm welcome of a place that doesn’t just host guests—it lifts spirits.

Good Mood Beach Resort has redefined what a lakeside escape can be. At its heart sits a chic, modern bar and restaurant that blends seamlessly into the natural landscape, perfectly balancing sleek design with the relaxed charm of the lakeshore.
The lush grounds stretch out like a green canvas, dotted with outdoor seating areas that match your good mood perfectly. From that vantage point, the glimmering lake looks like part of the décor.
For a truly unique twist, climb into the life-sized helicopter replica and take a seat at the table inside. It's a quirky setup designed to spark conversation—and maybe a few selfies—offering a ‘flying’ experience without leaving the ground. Alternatively, venture down to the lower side of the property and you’ll find the cabanas and open-air decks. These wooden structures are surrounded by thick vegetation. Here, Mother Nature wraps her arms around you.

Even closer to the water’s edge lies a slice of paradise: a lush garden where nature meets design. Like it is the case in the upper garden, the tables are designed to make you kick back, relax, and soak in the element. Down here, the lapping waves are more audible and the breeze is simply invigorating. It’s the perfect nook for quiet reflection, heartfelt conversations, or simply letting your eyes wander across the sparkling lake.
At the far end of the lower garden, a lively flock of ducks greets visitors with an unmistakable sense of excitement. As you approach them, their soft quacks and gentle murmurs fill the air—each one seemingly eager to welcome you. Some ducks waddle toward you, speaking in their own language with cheerful enthusiasm, while others glide effortlessly across the surface of the lake.
But the experience doesn’t stop at the shoreline. There is more. Step aboard the resort’s signature boat and discover a floating bar unlike any other. Fitted with stools, a mini counter, and a chill soundtrack that floats as effortlessly as the boat itself. It captures the spirit of your favorite pub, only this one cruises across the shuffled waves.

As the boat docks and you step back onto the shoreline garden, the energy shifts—from laid-back to playful. A short stroll uphill brings you to the resort’s vibrant sports zone. The basketball court, albeit still under construction, echoes with slam dunks and high-fives. The volleyball court is ready for spur-of-the-moment showdowns. Also on the premises, lies a perfectly manicured, lushly landscaped, and creatively designed miniature golf course.
