One of only a handful of boutique lodges in Zanzibar, Matemwe Lodge is located on a coral rock outcrop above a white sandy beach, sloping gently down towards the Indian Ocean. Seafood, fresh from the ocean, refreshing cocktails, massages and enjoying renowned diving and snorkelling sites like Mnemba Atoll, are just some elements of guests daily routines.

Matemwe Lodge features 12 individually decorated, luxurious beach chalets all overlooking the sparkling ocean. Each of the private verandas is furnished with large hammocks and sofas, perfect for relaxing and enjoying the stunning views; watch the local fishermen drift slowly past on a traditional dhow boat.
