Located directly north of Matemwe’s main lodge, Matemwe Retreat consists of just three exclusive villas beautifully situated on a small, private beach opposite Mnemba Atoll. This luxurious retreat offers the ultimate experience for those seeking absolute privacy, relaxation and indulgence.

Matemwe is located in the north-east of Zanzibar, surrounded by some of the best beaches of Zanzibar and opposite the well-known Mnemba Atoll, hotspot for scuba diving and snorkeling. Matemwe's exclusive location, away from the big hotels, gives the beaches a very private feeling. Fleets of fishermen in traditional wooden dhow sailing boats pass by on their way to and from their fishing grounds.

Offering a quality of accommodation and service that is arguably the best on the island, the exclusive yet relaxing barefoot atmosphere that made Matemwe famous is very much present in this stylish retreat.

Active guests can experience superb diving and snorkeling, partake in Spice Tours and Stone Town visits, or even venture out on deep sea fishing trips. Alternatively, the private plunge pools, lounge beds and in-room massage treatments will give many guests the perfect excuse to stay put in the comfort and privacy of their wonderful rooms.

Matemwe Retreat’s rooms are extremely spacious and beautifully decorated. A private deck and plunge pool allows for uninterrupted relaxation, with only the palm trees for company.

Service at the Retreat is organized in such a way that guests need never leave their room. A private butler caters to every whim and the chef stops by every morning to discuss the meal choices for the day, which are served on the large verandas overlooking the Indian Ocean. Guests are free to wander down to the main lodge, enjoy the delicious cuisine or join fellow patrons for sundowner cocktails.
