Zanzibar House Boutique Hotel, hotel in Matemwe

Located 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.

I have visited Zanzibar before and stayed at a few hotels (large and small) and this is by far my favorite hotel, my kids and I did not want to leave. It was a hidden gem! The staff were very friendly, the owners were always available and very sweet and kind, the food was the best in Zanzibar. It’s a very quiet and lovely getaway. The beach felt like a private beach away from the overbearing Masai and tourists. The hotel was very cozy, authentic and unique. The rooms were spacious, the balcony was stunning and watching the sunrise every day was beautiful, AC was working perfectly, rooms was always clean and they clean twice a day. If you want to relax.. this is the place to stay! The owners and staff quickly became our family. Thank you for the most beautiful stay, we will be back again! Thank you Milo, Max, Lena, Frank, Michael, Hamed, and Rahma.

Villa Lala, hotel in Matemwe

Villa Lala provides beachfront accommodations in Kiwengwa. Providing free Wifi, the property also has a private beach area, an outdoor swimming pool, and a garden.

We staid at Villa Lala that belongs to the same owner therefore, we end up spending most of our time at Poa Poa (restaurant) and pool Villa Lala - the room number 1 is superb! Initially we got to number 2 (smaller in size and different setup). We got transferred to the room 1 (due to some issue with toilet) but what we discovered - room N1 was for sure Superior. It worth 💯 to pay little more but get this room! Wardrobe is soooo specious, layout is perfect 🤩 and I love its interior design more. You will have shared kitchen - to fix tea or coffee for yourself or sometime we kept some fruits in the fridge ☺️ Next door to Villa Lala you will have Poa Poa restaurant with the best food! Sooo good and good value for money. I was having grilled octopus with grilled veggies every single day 😁 soooo good! Great spot for pics as well 📸🤳 Staff is cool and caring! Good place to chill and relax Big thanks to John 🫶🏻 Highly recommended! 🌟💯

    Nothing was too much trouble. The owners and staff would respond to any request immediately- we felt like we had found our little piece of paradise. The location was fantastic - loved watching the fisherman come in with their catch and the locals living their lives. Breakfast was amazing. The chef prepared whatever you wanted off the comprehensive menu. The poached eggs and pancakes were our favourite.

    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!!!

    We had the most amazing stay here. A very special thank you to the wonderful staff who were so welcoming and helpful. The food is incredible and we ate way more often in the resort than we had originally planned. The houses are beautiful with direct beach access and the Indian Ocean is warm and great for swimming. The live music was a welcoming change and a great way to connect with locals. Overall, we cannot recommend this accommodation more than enough.
