Travellers' Choice
The hotel is situated directly on the beach. Its a peaceful and tranquil setting with plenty of shady places for you to relax. There is a 16x8 meter pool perfect for a refreshing swim when the tide is out. The hotel serves breakfast, lunch and dinner and there is a well-stocked bar to accompany. We are proud to have a good reputation regarding food. We work consequently with proper waist management, and support education in the village. Most of our suppliers are from the village, and we try our best to have a good relation with the whole village.

I booked Zanzibar Retreat for 3 night and extended my stay. I felt very much at home and welcomed by Jan and his staff. Food was delicious, rooms lovely and the location was perfect. Walking distance along the beach to bars, restaurants and live music. Perfect location for reef walks or diving excursions to Mnemba.

We didn't stay overnight here, as we were in a different property along the beach, but we ended up eating here every night - including New Year's Eve, when we had the best char-grilled tuna, wonderful Swahili stews, fish-cakes, and sauces. Yan and Salome and their waiters were always so happy to see us each evening, and made us feel very welcome. Thank you x

10 days. Excellent food, breakfast, lunch, supper. Exceptional, peaceful, location on Matemwe beach. Yan and Salomé run a very tight ship here, I was certainly well rested when I left. They are also experts in the local area, if choosing to leave the swimming pool, or white sand beach. Awesome.

Wonderful home away from home experience during Christmas! This is the ideal place for a relaxing holiday and at the same time having access to a range of different activities. The food is absolutely amazing and there is a wide variety of different dishes. Fresh fish and seafood is available everyday and for lunch we often enjoyed a lighter option such as the avocado salad with prawns our a delicious soup. The staff is very warm and welcoming and the service is excellent. The beach and the ocean is just in front of the hotel. The beach is ideal for long walks or jogging. We went sailing with at traditional Zanzibari boat one of the days which was a truly amazing experience. Another day we went snorkelling and diving at the nearby Mnemba coral reef. Lots of interesting fishes and corals and we also had the chance to swim with dolphins.…

I had a wonderful stay in Matemwe by Jan and Salome's side. Their place, as long as the beach in front, are beautiful and peaceful, and the food is just incredible. Morning run with salome is a must if you are able to wake up at 5.30 and follow her pace !
