In designing our lodges at Royal Malewane, Liz Biden took her cues from the landscape itself, letting every colour, texture and shape echo what lies just beyond the door. Her guiding principle was to reflect the beauty of nature and celebrate the rich colours of the bush. Never to imitate it, only to be inspired by it.

The colour palette moves from the golden light of the setting sun to the vibrant blue of a woodland kingfisher, softening to the dusty pink of the impala lily. These colours, borrowed from nature, meet textures you will want to touch. Even the forms are softened, with gentle curves the way nature intended.

The result is a collection of rooms and spaces in conversation with nature, each creating an atmosphere that complements its surroundings. Just as in the African bushveld, there is beauty to be found around every corner.
