Zanzibar House Boutique Hotel, hotel in Matemwe

Situated on a private sand beach overlooking the Indian Ocean, Zanzibar House in Matemwe features a swimming pool and bar. Scuba diving and snorkeling opportunities are also available.

Big terrace on each room, with seating and day beds. Nice beach location, with private beach area. Spacious pool, with lots of seating and sunbeds. Attention to detail, things like a beach bag made up. Delicious meals in the evening, lots of opportunity to try different things. Recommend paying for the half board as it includes a 4 course meal each evening. Kayaks, bikes, bodyboards also available to use, which was great. There are also wild bush babies so if you’re lucky, you’ll get to feed them bananas, added plus for us! There was also lots of sustainable soaps in the bathrooms to use, which were lovely. Seemed like a very eco friendly place. Felt like a welcoming home stay.

    The service, the place, the food and the people are the best if you are looking for a real Zanzibar experience!! Giorgia and Daniele were the most welcome and amazing host you could have met in this wonderful island! We definitely recommend it for couples and friends also for the perfect location, if you like quiet and peace. The beach is literally 5min walking and it's definitely the best side of Zanzibar! We can't wait to come back again! We already miss this amazing place so much!

    Zanzibar Magic Boutique hotel was the perfect stop on our honeymoon to Zanzibar. The staff were so friendly, the food amazing and the location was right on the beachfront. Matemwe beach is quieter than Nungwi or kendwa but the sea was lovely to swim in.

    We really enjoyed our stay at sunny villa!! Shamir it’s a great host and provides any kind of services you’ll need. It’s a cozy place, only 6 rooms with a really nice swimming pool. Although it’s not directly on the sea, the beautiful beach it’s only 1 minute walk. The staff it’s super friendly, food it’s fresh and really good. Enjoy ypur stay!!!

    Charming Boutique hotel lovingly designed down to the smallest detail. Wonderful rooms, large balcony, great breakfast and dinner. White powdery sand beach only one step away - quiet and clean at all times. Amazing owners. Very friendly and always helpful staff. Arranged for me everything. Service level: 10++/10. You come as a stranger and leave as a friend. Recommendation: 100%
