Matemwe
In the north east of Zanzibar hides Matemwe, a luxury lodge that will make sure you are spoilt rotten while you soak up the African sun. Look out over the Mnemba Atoll or dive amongst exquisite coral before settling down to enjoy fresh seafood as you feel the sand in between your toes. If you manage to tear yourself away from the unspoilt, pristine beach then a trip to Stone Town is a must and treating your senses to the spice market will be a decision you won’t regret.
Location
Just a hop, skip and a jump from the shores of Tanzania and you will find yourself in magical Zanzibar. Being only an hour from Stone Town means that you can enjoy the hustle and bustle of this Arabic influenced town before heading back to your luxury retreat where the sounds of the sea will send you into a peaceful slumber.
Your room
Matemwe consists of 12 beautiful bungalows all built with local materials. Every suite comes with a private outdoor space, hammocks and day beds overlooking the Indian Ocean. At night you can savour your perfect cocktail while listening to the sound of waves crashing against the shore.
Why we like it
Matemwe is the perfect combination of traditional Africa and complete luxury. We love no hassle neighbours, especially when they come in the form of the resident dolphins which you can meet as you take a dip off the private sandbank just off the shores of this perfect haven. Or, if you want a pinch of culture, Stone Town is, dare we say, a stone’s throw away.
