NEWMARK HOTELS TO LAUNCH LUXURY HUPENYU LODGE IN VICTORIA FALLS

By Martin Chemhere

Hupenyu Lodge, Newmark Hotels & Reserves’ upcoming Zimbabwean debut, is set to redefine luxury travel in Victoria Falls.

Opening in the fourth quarter of 2025, this exclusive retreat positions itself as a sanctuary of unparalleled elegance, perched on the precipice of the Batoka Gorge, where the Zambezi River’s raw power is on full display.

The lodge’s 11 cliff-hugging suites, each a testament to meticulous design, will offer guests private plunge pools and breathtaking panoramic vistas, merging the thrill of nature with the pinnacle of refined comfort. This unique architectural and interior design ethos, deeply inspired by the dramatic setting, forges an immersive connection between guests and the surrounding landscape.

Beyond the private suites, Hupenyu Lodge will offer a range of exceptional amenities designed to enhance the guest experience. Culinary enthusiasts will delight in the lodge’s three distinct dining platforms, each offering a unique ambiance and showcasing expertly crafted cuisine.

An infinity-edge pool will provide a tranquil oasis, inviting guests to relax while absorbing the stunning views. For those seeking rejuvenation, the lodge will feature a spa offering a range of treatments, and a fully equipped gym.

Hupenyu Lodge’s commitment to “Experience Authentic” will extend to providing guests with opportunities to deeply connect with Africa’s breathtaking landscapes.

Newmark’s expansion into Zimbabwe with Hupenyu Lodge signifies a strategic move to introduce its brand of curated luxury experiences to one of Africa’s most iconic destinations. The lodge’s design and amenities reflect Newmark’s dedication to creating spaces that harmonize with their natural surroundings, offering guests not just a stay, but a transformative journey.

The lodge promises to be a destination that allows travellers to immerse themselves in the heart of the wild, blending raw natural beauty with refined luxury.
