It’s very quiet, very few non hotel restaurants, overpriced food everywhere, can’t swim in the sea unless you don’t mind knee deep water. There’s no town, or town centre outside the beach hotels, so a long stay would be challenging if you want more than just lounging by the hotel pool.

Matemwe and its area is a quiet place where you can relax and enjoy the beach, the activities (snorkeling, swimming with dolphins) especially if you are a couple, because the village is not very full of enterteinments or night parties.

Crystal clear water - despite there being sea urchins - if you have rock/ aqua shoes - you can still swim and explore the waters and reefs. The beaches are a lot quieter and peaceful than the busier beaches up north. The tides are also fascinating to watch- you can walk out to the reefs and cycle along the beaches when they go out!

Marafiki gets a 10/10 from us on all fronts - breakfast, lunch, dinner, pool, cleanliness, hospitality, music, sustainability, beach, communication. My husband and I stayed 4 nights at Marafiki after our Safari and had the most fabulous time. The rooms were very clean and quiet, and beautifully set up. The food is exceptional - please try the tuna tartar and all the specials! We had a relaxing time at the spa - you must try the full body scrub and massages. We used the free kayaks during sunset and enjoyed the stunning view from the water. The water is shallow so even if you go far, you can get off the kayak and swim. Since the hotel is east facing - sunrise is exceptionally beautiful. The water is still and shallow, and you can see all the fisherman walk up to the reef to catch the fish. The hotel also arranged a cooking lesson in Matamwe village for us - we learned how to cook ‘muchuzi’ from scratch which was a very meaningful experience. Overall- no negatives. We had the best time and will be back!

The beach is beautiful, but it's not really a beach you can swim on - there's a big tidal range - when it comes in it's quite choppy with lots of seaweed, and when it's out its corally with lots of urchins. But it's interesting to watch the local people looking for octopus and shellfish every day. It's quite a quiet area - all the bars are part of hotels. A few nice local restaurants around. Quite a lot of beach touts, which we found off putting. Not loads of activities to do in the area - 1/2 day snorkelling/dolphin watching trips at Mnemba Island basically.AlexUnited Kingdom

- From € 133.03 per night7.7Scored 7.7GoodRated good· 455 reviewsSince Matemwe is heavily influences by the tide, a pool at the hotel is crucial on the east side of Zanzibar. This hotel has a pool right by the beach. Staff is kind and rooms are comfy with good ac. Each evening the staff goes through the rooms spraying mosquito repellent which is a very nice touch. Restaurant prices are good for this area of Zanzibar. Close to Mnemba island and Dolphin snorkeling to make tours for scuba diving and snorkeling. Located on a very nice beach but beware the beach boys selling stuff there are very persistant.
MikaelSweden - 9.4Scored 9.4SuperbRated superb· 432 reviewsThis place is an oasis of tropical, spiritual & happy vibes. It is an heaven for travellers that want a down to earth experience, beautiful garden & common areas. Salama is a super intimate place. The rooms are very spacious and beautifully decorated. We travelled around for 6 weeks in Zanzibar and Salama was easy the best value we got. The beach is just 7 minutes walk from the hotel. A big bonus is all the cosy places you can work or just relax & read a book at. At Salama we felt at home.DinaSweden
- From € 48.04 per night9.3Scored 9.3SuperbRated superb· 58 reviewsWe had a wonderful stay at Ocean views villas in north Matemwe. The villas are spacious, comfortable, and well-equipped with everything you need. The private garden and pool are perfect for relaxing. The staff are friendly, helpful, and attentive to every detail. The breakfast is delicious and varied, and the location is ideal for exploring the beautiful Matemwe beach and the nearby attractions. We highly recommend Ocean views villas for anyone looking for a peaceful getaway in Zanzibar.
Giacinto LucaItaly - 9.4Scored 9.4SuperbRated superb· 432 reviewsSalama & Mbuyuni is an absolutely beautiful, clean and laidback gem in Zanzibar. The owners, Maria and Paco, are an energetic and very social couple from Spain, who have been living on the island for more than a decade. We particularly enjoyed the friendly staff as well as the amazing juices and the pool in the tropical and beach-vibey garden. The breakfast was much better than in most places in Tanzania.Bastian CHSwitzerland

Food is good although we only had breakfast there (very basic but fresh). Staff is helpful, kind and polite.
