Location

The "Matemwe Attitude" is a 4-star hotel located in Matemwe on the north coast of Zanzibar. The seemingly endless beach and the quiet location of the hotel in an untouched part of the island invite you to relax. Opposite the hotel is the small island of Mnemba, one of the most beautiful snorkeling spots. The distance to Zanzibar International Airport is 50 km and about 1 hour's drive.

Facilities

The luxury Adults-Only hotel "Matemwe Attitude" celebrates its reopening in November 2025. 74 villas are spread across 80,000 m² amidst the hotel's green grounds. Guests will be treated to local dishes in 2 different restaurants and 3 bars (main restaurant with buffet featuring local specialties, beach restaurant with table d'hôte and barbecue, cocktail bars, and small gourmet snacks). Free Wi-Fi is available in all villas and public areas, though it is recommended to use it as little as possible to fully enjoy your stay. For this reason, TVs are also not available in the rooms. Sun loungers and umbrellas are available free of charge for all guests at the main pool. The bulk shop (daily from 7 am to 10 pm) offers drinks, snacks, etc. without unnecessary packaging to reduce single-use plastic, and local handmade gifts can be purchased at the craft shop (shops open from 7 am to 10 pm). At the Marine Discovery Centre, interested visitors can learn about marine conservation and support it themselves. The hotel's own organic garden, which supplies the kitchen, is open for visitors to tour. Additionally, a local cooking class with the chef and a coffee/tea tasting are offered. In the so-called "Transit cabins," guests can relax comfortably during early arrivals or late departures.

Accommodation

Swim-up Villa (2SU)

The 24 Swim-Up Villas (approx. 74 m²) are located just 5 minutes from the beach, feature direct access from the terrace to the shared infinity pool, and have an outdoor shower surrounded by nature.

Destination information

Please note that hotel check-in, regardless of arrival time, is only from 2:00 PM or 3:00 PM onwards.
We would like to inform you that all airlines from Tanzania are currently on the EU's so-called ‘blacklist’. For this reason, they are currently not authorised to operate long-haul flights to the EU. We are therefore not currently using any of these airlines for our long-haul flights to the EU.
The lack of authorisation is not due to specific safety problems with the individual airlines, but rather to the inspection and safety procedures of the Tanzanian aviation authority, which do not currently meet the safety requirements of the EU.
However, the airlines that we use for domestic flights (for example, for transfer flights from Zanzibar to mainland Tanzania) are subject to the international safety assessment ISSA of the IATA (International Air Transport Association) or a comparable safety assessment. These assessments correspond to the globally recognised safety standards of the aviation industry.
