In addition to three restaurants and bars, leisure facilities include a luxury spa and wellness center, a gym, a kids’ club, and a teens’ clubs.

The mixed-used complex will also be home to East Africa’s first signature Ernie Els-designed golf course. Sustainability will be emphasized with the use of energy plants, agriculture, aquaculture, and a tentatively planned airfield.
