Villas for rent in Conakry: standing, pool, security
A villa for rent in Conakry — for an expatriate family or an official residence — must deliver on three promises: the comfort of a high-standard home, faultless security, and equipment that works every day, not just the first one. The villas Diatigui offers bring together the essentials: automatic generator, borehole and water reserve, day-and-night guarding, pool maintenance.
Our furnished villas sit in the residential districts of Kipé, Lambanyi and Nongo: quiet streets, perimeter walls, close to international schools. Monthly or yearly leases, with a written contract and a detailed quote.
Renting a villa with a pool in Conakry
The pool is the most requested — and worst maintained — feature on the market. On our listings, pool upkeep (treatment, filtration, service frequency) is stated, alongside the generator and guarding. A villa with a pool in Conakry typically rents for from US$4,100 per month depending on size, district and outbuildings (staff quarters, office, garden).
What you are actually paying for in an upmarket villa
Above a certain rent, a villa is no longer sold on floor area. In Conakry, the gap between a large house and an upmarket villa covers four things: complete self-sufficiency in water and power, structural security of the plot, build quality that stands up to the humidity, and maintenance that is genuinely kept up over time.
That last point matters most and shows least. A new villa that is poorly followed up degrades within two rainy seasons; a ten-year-old villa that is well maintained stays immaculate. It is upkeep, more than age, that decides your year.
- Energy self-sufficiency: a dedicated generator sized for the whole house, air conditioning included — not a standby unit.
- Water: borehole, booster pump and storage tank, with capacity that lasts several days.
- Security: high perimeter wall, external lighting, a single controlled access point, separate guard's quarters.
- Construction: watertight roofs and terraces, joinery that closes, wiring to standard.
- Upkeep: during your stay, our team arranges callouts quickly, without you having to chase them.
The pool: who maintains it, and what it costs
A pool is a powerful letting argument and an underestimated cost line. In the Guinean climate an untreated pool turns green within days, and the rainy season demands more sustained treatment. Real upkeep means a weekly visit at minimum, chemicals included.
The question to settle before signing is not whether the pool looks good in the photograph, but who carries it. With us the answer is in the lease: either maintenance is included in the rent, or it falls to you and it is priced into the quote. Neither is better — but vagueness always costs.
- Weekly maintenance, chemicals included: from US$120 a month depending on pool volume.
- Filtration pump: its electrical draw has to be factored into the generator sizing.
- Rainy season (May to October): reinforced treatment, and a cover is useful if the pool sits under trees.
- Child safety: check whether a fence or cover exists — it is rarely there by default.
Household staff: local practice, and what it commits you to
Most upmarket villas in Conakry are let with staff already in place — a guard, sometimes a gardener, sometimes housekeeping. It is established practice and often convenient, but it deserves to be clarified in writing before you move in.
The question to settle is simple and rarely asked: does that staff stay attached to the property, or do they become yours? The answer determines who pays the wages, who registers them, and who answers in a dispute. We put it in the lease, with the names concerned and the arrangement chosen, because ambiguity here creates situations that are hard to unwind.

How much is a villa for rent in Conakry?
A high-standard furnished villa rents for from US$3,500 per month depending on bedrooms, pool, district and lease length. Yearly leases get negotiated terms.
Are your villas suitable as official residences?
Yes. We regularly house diplomatic staff and senior executives: villa ready on arrival, day-and-night guarding, and a team reachable throughout the stay.
Is pool maintenance included in a villa's rent?
It depends on the property, which is exactly why it must be written down. Either maintenance is included in the rent, or it falls to you — allow from US$120 a month, chemicals and a weekly visit included. On every villa with a pool that we offer, the answer appears in the lease and in the quote, never by implication.
Does household staff stay on when you rent a villa?
That is the most common arrangement in Conakry, particularly for the guard, who knows the plot and the neighbourhood. What must be settled in writing is the status: staff attached to the property, or employed by the tenant. It determines who pays the wages, who registers them and who answers in a dispute. We formalise it in the lease as a matter of course.
What is the price difference between a villa and a large house?
Across the properties we offer, an upmarket villa starts at US$2,900 a month, against $1,400 for a conventional large house. The gap is almost never about floor area: it pays for complete self-sufficiency in water and power, structural security of the plot, build quality, and maintenance that is genuinely kept up.
