Zoi Retreat Hotel Zanzibar

Matemwe Boutique Hotel

Zoi Retreat Hotel Zanzibar is a small picturesque hotel situated right on the beach in the small fishing village of Matemwe on Zanzibar's northeastern coast. The white coral beach, fine as powder, is ideal for long walks and swimming at high tide. The hotel has ten double rooms, with the possibility of adding extra beds, plus a Family Suite consisting of two rooms connected by a shared bathroom. Two rooms feature private balconies overlooking the ocean, while most other rooms connect to a large wooden veranda with outdoor furniture. A swimming pool sits just steps from both the beach and the rooms for those who prefer calm waters. Meals are served on a large shaded veranda overlooking the beach, enhanced by warm ocean breeze — guests consistently praise the fantastic food and personalized attention from the incredibly warm and friendly staff. The hotel runs on solar power and promotes plastic-free practices, offering refillable water stations instead of plastic bottles. Perfect for a peaceful retreat after a Tanzania safari or island-hopping adventure. Rated 8.9 by 1,280 verified guests — "A little piece of heaven in Matemwe!"
