Matemwe Retreat Area
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.
The stretch of perfect beach alongside the main lodge is shared only with the fishing village, which is situated on the far side of the soft sand. There are not many beaches in Zanzibar still featuring only one resort. Care has been taken to ensure privacy and exclusivity throughout Matemwe Retreat.
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.
Wooden walkways allow guests of the Retreat to access the main lodge should they wish to use the pool or dine in the restaurant.
'I would highly recommend this resort to anybody who wants a few days in paradise'
