Overview of Matemwe Lodge

Set between two idyllic beaches in north-eastern Zanzibar, Matemwe Lodge is a peaceful ocean-facing retreat offering its guests powdery white-sand beaches, clear aquamarine water and beautiful reefs.

There is a wealth of adventures to keep even the most active visitor busy: from Matemwe Lodge you can go snorkelling, sailing, sea-kayaking or scuba diving, and it is simple to arrange tours to take in the rest of Zanzibar’s sights such as Stone Town, Jozani Forest, Prison Island and fragrant spice plantations.

General 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 is a wide selection of day 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 use the complimentary kayaks 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 Zanzibari 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.

Fresh fish is combined with fresh local produce to create a tasty dining experience. Lunch is a selection of buffet-style African and European dishes while dinner includes meat, fish and vegeterian options. Before dinner, enjoy a delicious cocktail at the poolside bar.

Africa Safari Expert

I love the spacious chalets, also perfect for families with the upstairs bed for the kids. The couch and hammock in front of the chalet were perfect for pure relaxation while enjoying the amazing sea views.
