Matemwe · Zanzibar

On the edge of the Indian Ocean

A bright, modern hotel on the quiet sands of Matemwe — one minute from the beach, one hour from the airport, and a world away from the crowds.

The north-east coast, at its calmest

Palms, white coral sand and a turquoise lagoon — with Mnemba Island shimmering just offshore.

Twenty-one rooms. One unforgettable view.

Sea-view rooms and suites, a pool in tropical gardens, and a gourmet restaurant a few steps from the waves.

Arrival

A bright welcome by the pool

Whitewashed balconies, swaying palms and a glittering pool — the first thing you'll see, and the last you'll want to leave.

Step inside

Light, space and Swahili warmth

Cool tiled floors, hand-carved coconut wood and fresh bougainvillea — an interior that breathes.

Recently built, spotless throughout

Air-conditioned comfort, fast free Wi-Fi and a welcome from a team guests rave about.

Sun & shade

A pool in the palms

Sink into the freshwater pool, claim a lounger under the coconut trees, and let the afternoon drift by — the sea just beyond the garden.

Zante Restaurant & Bar

A gourmet dining experience

Fresh Zanzibar seafood, island spices and international favourites — served indoors or out by the pool.

From sunrise coffee to sunset cocktails

Breakfast on the terrace, long lunches in the shade, and a cold drink at the bar as the sky turns gold.

Just offshore

Mnemba is calling

Seven kilometres to one of East Africa's finest reefs — turtles, dolphins and clear water made for snorkelling and diving.

This is Zanoceanique

Your beach, your pool, your stretch of the Indian Ocean.
