What we love about Matemwe Retreat
It's luxurious accommodation - Decorated in cool blues and whites to mimic the hues of the surrounding beach, each villa has a private bar to enjoy your favourite drink in privacy, airy king -size bedrooms and a sunken tub with incredible views of the sparkling ocean.
It's romantic - With high standards of luxury in an exclusive villa, a stay at Matemwe Retreat is all about romance. Enjoy a couples massage at the relaxing spa or a private picnic in the Infinity Sandbank at low tide.
Its location - Surrounded by some of the best beaches in Zanzibar, the elevated position of the lodge gives you panoramic views of the ocean around you and the islands beyond. 30-minutes away by boat sits Mnemba Island and its incredible reef, and just 60 minutes from the villa is the historic Stone Town.

Matemwe Retreat is all inclusive and consists of four villas, each with a double bedroom with air-conditioning and spacious en-suite (there are no twins or triples available).

Brilliant says
In the evening, savour dinner cooked by your private chef under the stars or stroll down to the main lodge for a seafood buffet in the open-air restaurant.
