Give guests a reason to pick your place.
We design, install and run a rest space on your property: a sauna, a quiet meditation room or a hands-on making studio. Your guests get real rest. You get a signature amenity, without building or running a spa.
Most listings sell a bed. Guests are looking for rest.
Kenya's short-term rental supply grew 41% in 2025, while average occupancy sat at 44%. When every listing on the street looks the same, hosts end up competing on price.
Guests ask for wellness and somewhere to properly switch off. But a spa is a capital project, and running one is a job of its own. Tũra Rest gives you the experience without either.

Choose your rest space.
Each property gets one module or a mix, depending on your space and your guests.
Spa
A sauna or steam room, with space to cool down and recover.
Meditation space
A quiet, screen-free room for breathwork, meditation and doing nothing at all.
Making space
Drawing, pottery, candle-making, or simply working with your hands, with sessions led by local craft partners.
What you get as a host.
A Tũra Rest unit is built to make your property the one guests choose, and come back to.
- A signature amenitySomething the listing down the road doesn't have, and a clear reason to book you.
- Stronger rates and fuller midweeksAn experience guests will pay more for, and a reason to come on quiet Monday to Thursday nights.
- More income per nightRest comes included in the stay, so you can price your nights higher. Tũra's share is smaller than the increase, so you take home more per night than before.
- Nothing to design, build or staffWe design and install the unit, train the facilitators and keep it running to our standard.
- A brand guests already trustTũra rituals, maker sessions and the same standard as our own off-grid cabins.
- Built to moveMade off-site with the same relocatable approach as our cabins. No permanent construction on your property.
For context: in the US, short-term rentals with a sauna earn about 7% more per night, and those with a hot tub about 14% (AirDNA). We'll measure what it does for Kenyan properties in our pilot.
We bring the experience. You bring the guests.

How it works.
The same approach we use for our cabins, on your property.
Fit the space
We visit your property, look at the space and your guests, and recommend a spa, meditation or making module, or a mix.
Install the unit
Tũra designs and builds the unit off-site, then installs it on your property with minimal disruption to your bookings.
Run the experience
We bring the brand, the rituals, the maker partners and trained facilitators. Rest is part of every stay, with nothing extra for guests to book or pay.
Share the booking
You charge more per night with Tũra Rest included, and Tũra takes 15% of the booking price. You still keep more than you did before.
Rest is included. Your rate goes up.
We're starting with one or two pilot properties near our own sites in Sagana and Naro Moru, before offering Tũra Rest across the Mt Kenya corridor.
Guests don't pay for sessions. The rest experience comes with booking your place, and the price of the stay reflects it.
- You raise your nightly rateWe expect hosts to price stays around 30% higher with Tũra Rest included.
- Tũra takes 15% of the bookingA share of the whole booking price, smaller than the 30% increase. That's our return on the unit.
- You keep the restA listing that stands out, more nights booked, and more income per night.
An illustration: a night you sell today for KES 15,000 is listed at KES 19,500 with Tũra Rest included, a 30% increase. Tũra receives 15% of KES 19,500 (KES 2,925), and you keep KES 16,575, up from KES 15,000.
To qualify, a property needs to charge at least KES 15,000 a night today. These are starting figures. We'll confirm the exact split with each pilot partner before anything is installed.
Questions hosts ask.
If yours isn't here, ask us when you get in touch.
Do I have to build anything?
No. Tũra designs and builds the rest unit off-site using the same relocatable approach as our cabins, then installs it on your property.
Who runs the rest experience?
Tũra provides the programme: rest rituals, maker sessions with local craft partners, and facilitators trained to our standard. You don't need to hire or train anyone.
What does it cost me, and what do I earn?
Tũra Rest is included in the stays you sell, so you raise your nightly rate, which we expect to be around 30%. Tũra takes 15% of the whole booking price as our return on the unit. Because that's smaller than the increase, you keep more per night than you do today. We confirm the exact split with you before anything is installed.
Will Tũra compete with my listing?
No. Tũra Rest adds the rest experience to a place your guests already book. They stay with you, and the unit gives them a reason to.
What kind of property is a good fit?
Airbnbs and holiday homes, boutique resorts and lodges that charge at least KES 15,000 a night and have a bit of space, inside or outdoors, for a rest unit. We'll tell you honestly after a site visit whether yours fits, and which module suits it.
How do you keep the standard up?
Every unit is designed, branded and run to the Tũra standard, with facilitators we train. Partner agreements include the right to remove the unit if standards slip, which is part of what makes the brand worth having on your listing.
