The Ruparelia Group is set to unveil its latest addition to Uganda’s luxury hospitality scene, the Paradise Island Resort, in November 2025.
Located on a secluded 24-acre island in the heart of Lake Victoria, Paradise Island Resort is a 20-minute speedboat ride from the Speke Resort Munyonyo marina, further extending the Ruparelia hospitality footprint into exclusive, nature-rich experiences.
The property, developed under the leadership of billionaire businessman Dr. Sudhir Ruparelia, marks a significant milestone in the Group’s commitment to redefining high-end leisure in East Africa. Paradise Island Resort is designed to harmonise with its natural surroundings, offering guests a private, eco-conscious retreat that fuses opulence with serenity.
In an interview, Dr. Sudhir Ruparelia, the Group’s Founder and Chairperson, confirmed the project’s readiness, stating:
“We are wrapping up everything and we do believe we are still on course for opening in November 2025.”
A Blend of Elegance and Ecology
The resort features a variety of luxury accommodations:
- 10 Standard cottages
- 11 Standard Cliffhanger cottages
- 14 Deluxe two-bedroom cottages
- 3 Executive villas
Each cottage and villa is designed to provide panoramic views of the lake, lush greenery, and rich birdlife that surrounds the island. The rocky landscape and verdant trees offer a perfect backdrop for guests in search of tranquillity, making it ideal for nature lovers, birdwatchers, and luxury travellers alike.
A New Jewel in Ruparelia Group’s Hospitality Crown
Paradise Island Resort adds to the Group’s already formidable portfolio, which includes award-winning properties like Speke Resort Munyonyo, Kabira Country Club, and Speke Apartments. The Group continues to distinguish itself by curating unforgettable hospitality experiences that fuse world-class service with exceptional locations.
“With Paradise Island Resort, we’re not just building a resort—we’re crafting an experience that offers the best of Uganda’s natural beauty, paired with the highest standards of comfort,” a spokesperson from the Group said.
Supporting Uganda’s Luxury Tourism Ambitions
The opening of Paradise Island Resort aligns with Uganda’s broader tourism strategy to attract high-value travellers and diversify its destination offerings. The resort is expected to play a pivotal role in positioning Lake Victoria as a premier luxury tourism destination.
As the November launch date approaches, anticipation is building within both the tourism industry and the luxury travel market. Paradise Island Resort is poised to become one of East Africa’s most sought-after destinations, delivering on the Ruparelia Group’s vision of immersive, refined, and memorable hospitality.
