Overlooking the Indian Ocean

Boutique Hotel Matlai is located in Michamwi, on the south east coast of the beautiful island of Zanzibar, and offers its guests a piece of sea-facing paradise in luxury accommodations on the turquoise Indian Ocean that's completely private and hidden from the beach.

The property is designed as a villa resort and is made up of two villas, Villa Kidosho and Asili House, both private lodgings directly on the beach, tucked into a leafy abundance of blooming, fragrant plants.

Overlooking the Indian Ocean

There are two units available at the hotel. Villa Kidosho offers two themed suites with fantastic sea views, though they're not visible from the beach. Both rooms have private terraces with sun loungers and dining tables face the sea. The villa has a private infinity pool (with jacuzzi jets) and its adjacent lounge area, an elevated sitting area with a coffee bar, library, and dining terrace.

It is surrounded by a large tropical garden and guests can enjoy spa treatments in the Bustani spa and dine in house, on the beach, or in the on-site Zatiny Restaurant.

A tropical garden surrounds the house and merges into the spacious lounge and dining area where guests can enjoy meals. The pool, with its palm-tree island, invites guests to relax and offers both sea and beach views. There are alfresco bathrooms with bath and rain showers.

Villa Kidosho has two king-sized seaview suites, Suite Jua (Sun Suite) and Suite Mwezi (Moon Suite), with lounge, dining and sitting areas, as well as huge bathrooms with shower, bath tubs and separate toilets. There are large private terraces with sun beds, swinging beds and hammocks. The house has its own large infinity pool with Jacuzzi jets, leading out to the ocean from the terrace.

There in one double room available in Asili House.

Additional features

Water, soft drinks, tea and coffee are provided, and a TV and DVD player is available on request. The in-house chef will spoil guests with traditional Kiswahili cuisine, with freshly caught seafood or with request meals at a time that suits them. Guests will also have a personal butler at their disposal. Note: Most travelers to Zanzibar require a visa, available in advance, so as not to be caught up in the tourist traffic at the airport.

Around

Opposite to the hotel, guests will find an offshore sand bar with white sand and a magnificent snorkelling area to reach on foot at low tide. A variety of activities for all age groups can be enjoyed, from volleyball, boule and beach ball or cross golf. Guests can also visit the open-air-cinema or enjoy a book at the library’s selection of paperback books in German and English. Various tours and attractions can be visited and an island tour can also be arranged. 

The hotel is located on the edge of an authentic Swahili fishing village, with a variety of informal restaurants within easy walking distance.

Location

Michamvi Pingwe, South-East Zanzibar, 1 hour and 15 minutes drive from Stone Town or airport.
