Overview

Welcome to the exclusive and private Matemwe Retreat comprising just four villas on a stretch of palm-fringed shores and a small, secluded beach just north of Matemwe’s main lodge, opposite Mnemba Island. The villas are just metres from the Indian Ocean where snorkelling is a delight and scuba diving a must-do activity to explore pristine coral reefs in crystal clear ocean waters.

We recommend this Zanzibar Retreat Hotel that offers a private beach where you can enjoy beach massages, beachside drinks and anything else your butler can do for you. Chill out beside the outdoor swimming pool or indulge in deep-tissue massages at the spa at the main lodge. Grab a healthy Zanzibar snack at the restaurant and a cold drink from the bar.

A few guests stay here in only four villas, each one a double-storey chalet with two terraces – one on the ground floor outside the main bedroom and one on the top floor with extensive ocean views and a private plunge pool. The lower deck boasts a couch and a hammock for maximum relaxation and the plush air-conditioned bedroom leads onto a bathroom with shower and bath overlooking the Indian Ocean. Shiny wooden furnishings in true Zanzibari style decorate all rooms while guests are treated to their own cocktail bar and plenty of space for private dining.  

In the evening, dining can be enjoyed in the privacy of your villa or stroll down to the main lodge for a seafood buffet in the open-air restaurant. Chat with other guests about your marine experiences and what birds you saw in the lush island vegetation. 

The chef stops by each day to introduce special Retreat menu suggestions and the fresh catches of the day, the speciality of Matemwe’s acclaimed cuisine. A private butler is always available to assist with any further needs so don’t be shy, call for help, call for food and drink, and you will be heard. 

Find all you need at the Matemwe Retreat but know that you can wander over any time to the main lodge for a spa treatment, a swim in their swimming pool, a drink or a meal. What a way to spend your holiday in the perpetual bliss of sunshine, water sports, hands-on five-star service and top-notch hotel facilities in a remote island location.
