Matemwe Villa Loiki is one of the first Private Villas to be built in Zanzibar.
Patrick, the Congo-born Belgian owner, has been coming to the Spice Island for over 25 years (long before mainstream tourism took off here) and he was lucky enough to secure a long-term lease on this amazing property. Those were the days when you could only access Matemwe by driving along the beach, and it took 3 hours to get there from Stone Town!
Patrick’s villa was never officially named, but has become affectionately known by the locals as Villa Loiki, after his daughter.

Villa loiki is exceptional. It’s perfect in every way, the pool is amazing, the beach is spotless, the staff are so kind and helpful, not to mention Pamela is an excellent cook. They have their own boat, and we went snorkelling and to see the dolphins. It was amazing!
