Matemwe Retreat

Overview

Situated slightly north of Matemwe in an elevated position, Matemwe Retreat enjoys unspoilt views through palm trees of the warm Indian Ocean and Mnemba Island. The north-east part of Zanzibar Island is known as Matemwe. This area is famous for its fine white sand beaches, the contrasting colours of the Indian Ocean and the beauty of the coral reef around the Mnemba Atoll. Matemwe borders a small fishing village where local fisherman set out on a daily basis in their traditional dhows.

Combining the spirit of Zanzibar with the highest standards of luxury, Matemwe Retreat's secluded villas are considered the most exclusive boutique-style accommodation on this exotic island. With just three fabulous villas, a dedicated butler will ensure that your every whim is catered for. Select your menu with the chef each morning, sip a fresh cocktail in your plunge pool and enjoy a relaxing massage in the privacy of your villa. Leave your sanctuary to dive and snorkel at the nearby reef. Whatever you choose, Matemwe Retreat provides the perfect escape and an indulging haven of luxury.

Matemwe is a 60-minute drive from Stone Town, allowing for easy day trips and excursions to the many varied and interesting places on offer in Zanzibar.
