Facilities

At Matemwe Lodge, you may want to do nothing except soak up the sun beside the pool or in your hammock with a cocktail from the bar.

If you are feeling active however then there are many activities to choose from: discover the Mnemba Atoll with its famous reef and fascinating underwater world on diving and snorkelling excursions (there is an on-site diving centre) or hire a kayak and explore the turquoise waters under your own steam.

There is internet access at Matemwe and guests can also visit a local village and learn about Zanzibar culture, pamper themselves with massages and spa treatments or set off for a day trip around Zanzibar - all of which are easily arranged by Matemwe's staff.

Traveller Reviews

  • A great place to relax. The bungalows itself was great with its veranda over the water. Truly amazing. Just sitting there, listening to the sounds of the water was very calming.
