Property Overview

Jafferji Beach Retreat is a small beachfront hotel in the quiet village of Kigomani, near Matemwe on Zanzibar’s north-east coast. Its 14 rooms combine Swahili design with Arab, Indian and African influences, creating an individual character rather than the feel of a large resort. Tropical gardens connect the accommodation with the restaurant, ocean-side pool and white-sand shoreline. Views across the Indian Ocean towards Mnemba Island form a central part of the setting.
