Welcome to Matemwe

In the northeast of the island, Matemwe lays out its pristine beach facing Mnemba Island. There, the lagoon shifts into turquoise, palm trees sway in the breeze, and the tides set the pace.
Matemwe is a quiet village, alive with fishing boats, genuine smiles, and hand-painted dhows. Here, life happens outside, barefoot — between morning light and the clear shimmer of the sea.

This side of Zanzibar… we don’t talk about it too much. We like to keep it to ourselves.

The plan :
None (or almost).


Some days start with a coffee. Others with a nap.The best ones include both.
And in between, there are countless ways to live the island at your own pace:

• Outdoor massage
• Local cooking class with our chef
• Tasting Zanzibar-style coffee
• Snorkeling in the lagoon facing Mnemba
• Exploring the ocean at the Marine Discovery Centre
• Board games & books at your fingertips

A hotel that does good.

  • Grab, refill, repeat.

    Snacks, tea, coffee or sweet treats: here, everything comes in jars — not in plastic wrappers.

  • Green, but never boring

    Our treatments are natural, vegan and respectful — for your skin and for the planet.

  • Look below the surface, for real

    The Marine Discovery Centre offers a space to understand the lagoon — its beauty and its fragility.

  • A boutique made in Zanzibar

    Souvenirs that support the people who shape the island.

New island, same values


Whether in Zanzibar or Mauritius, we believe in the same essentials: people, local roots, and tourism that makes sense.
