Sudhir Ruparelia to Unveil New Luxury Island Resort as Uganda’s Tourism Sector Gains Momentum
Uganda’s luxury hospitality sector is set for a major boost on December 1, 2026, when Paradise Island Resort officially opens its doors on Lake Victoria.
The 19-acre private island destination is the latest addition to the growing hospitality portfolio of businessman Dr. Sudhir Ruparelia, further strengthening his contribution to Uganda’s tourism and investment landscape.
A New Milestone for Uganda’s Tourism
Developed under the Speke Group of Hotels and directed by Sheena Ruparelia, the multi-billion-shilling investment combines luxury, nature and world-class hospitality.
The project reflects Dr. Ruparelia’s ambition to position Uganda as a leading global tourism destination while expanding the country’s premium hospitality offerings.
Exclusive Experience for Distinguished Guests
In a statement released midweek, Dr. Ruparelia extended personal invitations to distinguished Ugandans, including senior dignitaries, business leaders, cultural icons and prominent socialites.
The December 1 opening will showcase an exclusive destination designed for affluent travellers, private retreats, fine dining and high-profile networking.
Luxury Meets Environmental Sustainability
The fully solar-powered resort features 38 accommodation units, comprising 11 Cliff-Hanger Cottages, 14 Deluxe Two-Bedroom Cottages, 10 Standard Cottages and three Executive Villas.
Its facilities include a white-sand beach, infinity swimming pool, fine-dining restaurants, cocktail bars, a luxury spa, wellness and fitness centres.
The resort also offers executive conference facilities for corporate retreats, weddings and private events.
Exclusive Access Across Lake Victoria
Located approximately 10 kilometres from the mainland, Paradise Island Resort is accessible through a 20-minute speedboat journey from Speke Resort Munyonyo marina.
The Ruparelia Group expects the destination to welcome guests from Uganda and across the world when operations officially begin on December 1, 2026.
