Zanzibar House Boutique Hotel, hotel in Matemwe

Situated on a private sand beach overlooking the Indian Ocean, Zanzibar House in Matemwe features a swimming pool and bar. Scuba diving and snorkeling opportunities are also available.

Big terrace on each room, with seating and day beds. Nice beach location, with private beach area. Spacious pool, with lots of seating and sunbeds. Attention to detail, things like a beach bag made up. Delicious meals in the evening, lots of opportunity to try different things. Recommend paying for the half board as it includes a 4 course meal each evening. Kayaks, bikes, bodyboards also available to use, which was great. There are also wild bush babies so if you’re lucky, you’ll get to feed them bananas, added plus for us! There was also lots of sustainable soaps in the bathrooms to use, which were lovely. Seemed like a very eco friendly place. Felt like a welcoming home stay.

Haber Hotel & SPA, hotel in Matemwe

Located in Matemwe, 600 metres from Matemwe Beach, Haber Hotel & SPA provides accommodation with free bikes, free private parking, an outdoor swimming pool and a garden.

Our stay at Haber Apartments was fantastic! One of the standout features was the large, beautiful pool, which was perfect for relaxing after a day of exploring. The rooms were incredibly spacious—much bigger than other hotels we’ve stayed at in Zanzibar, giving us plenty of room to unwind. The food was equally amazing, not just in taste but in presentation. Every meal was beautifully decorated and tasted just as great, adding a touch of luxury to the dining experience. The staff was another highlight—they were incredibly friendly and truly went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed. From the moment we arrived, we felt warmly welcomed, and the service continued to impress us throughout our stay. We highly recommend Haber Apartments for anyone looking for comfort, space, and exceptional hospitality in Zanzibar in a beautiful scenery!

Mambo Paradise, hotel in Matemwe

Facing the beachfront, Mambo Paradise offers 4-star accommodation in Matemwe and features an outdoor swimming pool, garden and terrace.

Owners are incredible and can help you book excursions or transportation anywhere you want to go. They helped us arrange 4 days worth of activities, and we'd decide the night before what we wanted to do the next day. They had great advice in what was worth seeing. Room was beautiful and great that they could accommodate three people in one room. Wifi was a little iffy and only available in the restaurant. But would absolutely recommend and plan to visit again.

    We had a wonderful stay at Ocean views villas in north Matemwe. The villas are spacious, comfortable, and well-equipped with everything you need. The private garden and pool are perfect for relaxing. The staff are friendly, helpful, and attentive to every detail. The breakfast is delicious and varied, and the location is ideal for exploring the beautiful Matemwe beach and the nearby attractions. We highly recommend Ocean views villas for anyone looking for a peaceful getaway in Zanzibar.

The location is ideal, next to a very nice beach, diving centre and some bars and restaurants. The bungalow is big enough, very clean (it gets cleaned every day). The fans which help with the heat. Breakfast consists of fresh fruit, eggs, a small salad, and toasted bread. It’s simple but what you need. Thanks again
