This was our second stay at Boutique Villa Unaweza, and it was just as wonderful as the first! The entire property is beautifully designed and stylish, with every detail thoughtfully planned. The staff, from the restaurant team to the cleaning ladies, were all incredibly friendly, attentive, and helpful, making us feel truly welcome. One of the special touches we loved was the yoga classes, which are a perfect way to unwind, and the occasional live music nights in the restaurant, adding a delightful atmosphere to the evenings. The rooms are spacious, impeccably clean, and designed for ultimate relaxation. The hotel is just a few steps from a stunning beach, ideal for peaceful morning walks. This time, we traveled with a rental car, and the secure parking made everything very convenient. The hotel itself feels incredibly safe, and the staff went above and beyond to accommodate us. For instance, our flight was in the evening, and they kindly allowed us to keep our room a little longer, which was such a thoughtful gesture. This is without a doubt one of the best places to stay when visiting this beautiful island!

We had amazing stay in there. Staff is very friendly and helpfull, very nice place. Food vas really amazing! Dinner and also breakfast was great. You get fruit platter, amazing and warm pastry, butter and homemade jam plus you can choose some dish from the menu. Very good selection of meals. We will definitely come back. One small thing - some umbrellas by the pool would be fine since all sunbeds are on sun and there is not that many options of shadow. :)

FAQs about hotels in Matemwe

What guests said about Matemwe:

Matemwe was nice - the beach part.

Matemwe was nice - the beach part. Sad to see the poverty behind the gates of the hotel. The tides were a bit different from what we have expected as the water would leave the beach at 9am and return around 5pm. If you did not make it to swim early in the morning, you missed it. We took a reef walk which was beautiful, saw a lot of see creatures, and that was very amazing experience. Also took a boat tour to see the sunset - it was worth the trip. Did not like how the locals would just stop on the beach and start shouting at you to buy smth. Also the part of the hotel beach is not segregated in any way, which does not give you a privacy enough. The food was amazing though - the hotel goes much beyond - and all day brekfast concept was amazing.

Matemwe is ideal for relaxing and spending quality time with friends and family. Matemwe is near Mnemba island 🏝️ for swimming with dolphins 🐬 . We rode bicycles 🚲 around the village and the place felt very safe. There are few alternative places for lunch or dinner. Not too far from stone town.

The snorkeling was a true adventure, with well-protected marine life and crystal-clear water. Spotting the dolphins was an unexpected bonus! Visiting the sea turtle rehabilitation center and feeding them was a special experience.

Matemwe beach was huge and totally uncrowded - some days we were lucky to see 10 - 20 people pass by! Loved the Massai beach hawkers - friendly and laid back happy to have their pictures taken - no hassle or relentless chasing - once told 'no' they respected our space. Recommend a day trip to Nungwi for a completely different vibe and fantastic sunset. Matemwe is somewhat isolated and if you want to get around you need to secure the number of a local taxi driver - always bargain hard beforehand. Most hotels organise trips/tours but at a premium.

It was a quieter beach which was nice which also meant not too many people hassling you to buy things. Those that did were respectful. Beach is nice but the sea depth is very shallow most of the day so swimming wasn't the easiest and there was a lot of seaweed when we were there.

It’s very quiet, very few non hotel restaurants, overpriced food everywhere, can’t swim in the sea unless you don’t mind knee deep water. There’s no town, or town centre outside the beach hotels, so a long stay would be challenging if you want more than just lounging by the hotel pool.

one of the nicest places we stayed on Zanzibar — spotlessly clean, rooms done to a very high standard (the newer ones could easily pass for five-star) and a fabulous location right on the beach, with a good sized pool and lovely staff. Rooms are very large and have balconies — incredibly good value. Dinner tip: go onto the beach, turn right and you’ll immediately come upon Pua Mbili — tiny little restaurant with some of the best food you’ll ever eat!

The lodge has an amazing view, nice swimming pool, friendly staff and managers, a joint diving center and yoga opportunities every weekdays. The food was also beyond our expectations. We have taken the honeymoon offer and it was well worth it: snorkeling, 3 course dinners, couple massage, airport transfer, also we booked the oceanview suite and the it’s stunning. They also have free shuttle bus to the sister-hotel’s private beach.

We decided to stay in quite a few hotels during our holidays in Zanzibar and Zanzibar Queen Hotel was definitely the best. Starting with staff, food, rooms and ending with the beach. This is the place when you can relax and you know you will be well taken care of. Highly recommended!
