Matemwe Retreat, Zanzibar
Matemwe Retreat is a tranquil, secluded beach resort located on the northeastern coast of the stunning Zanzibar Island in Tanzania. It consists of just four private luxury villas, each offering guests an indulgent haven in the heart of this island paradise. The villas are vibrantly designed and fully air-conditioned. They are made up of downstairs double bedrooms with en-suite facilities, each with ocean views, as well as private bar areas. The villas also have unique private roof terraces with personal plunge pools, as well as verandas with day beds and loungers, the perfect spots from which to watch the local fishermen return on their dhows with the day’s catch. Each villa is serviced by a personal butler, ready to cater to your every need. The lodge itself features a spa where you can enjoy relaxing massages and treatments. There are also a host of other exciting beach activities on offer, including diving, snorkeling, fishing and kayaking. Visits to Stone Town to experience the local culture are also available.
