TRAVEL GUIDE
Matemwe Retreat - Tanzania - Zanzibar and Pemba Islands
Matemwe Retreat is constructed on a private stretch of land, just north of Matemwe’s main lodge and right opposite the Mnemba Atoll. The Retreat consists of 3 fabulous villas, full of personal touches. The ground floor features spacious verandahs, a private cocktail bar, an air-conditioned bedroom, a bathroom with double vanities, a shower, and a bath overlooking the Indian Ocean. On the private roof terrace, guests will find a plunge pool and sun and shade decks. In front of the rooms, there is a small beach that is private for guests of the Retreat.
The service in the Retreat is of the highest standards. Breakfast are served on the veranda of the room, without the need to disturb guests still in bed. Every day the manager or chef will stop by to discuss lunch and dinner preferences: the catch of the day served in the privacy of the garden or roof terrace or a dinner at Matemwe's main lodge. Drinks are served in the room or on the beach and guests can receive massages and beauty treatments in the comfort of their roof terrace.
The Retreat is built by local craftsmen, where possible from local materials. Walls are of local stone and roofs are made of makuti (woven palm leaves) and most furniture is made of locally produced coconut wood. Soft furnishings are locally produced by women groups and the matting is produced by the blind association in Stone Town. The sun, through the solar system, supplies hot water to the lodge. Only where local produces would jeopardize the quality of the experience, materials from outside the region have been applied. Of the lodge staff, over 60% is from the villages close by Matemwe.
