Boutique Villa Unaweza 4 stars

Matemwe

Set in Matemwe and only 60 metres from Matemwe Beach, Boutique Villa Unaweza offers accommodation with sea views, free WiFi and free private parking. This villa provides air-conditioned accommodation with a balcony. The accommodation features airport transfers, while a bicycle rental service is also available. This was our second stay at Boutique Villa Unaweza, and it was just as wonderful as the first! The entire property is beautifully designed and stylish, with every detail thoughtfully planned. The staff, from the restaurant team to the cleaning ladies, were all incredibly friendly, attentive, and helpful, making us feel truly welcome. One of the special touches we loved was the yoga classes, which are a perfect way to unwind, and the occasional live music nights in the restaurant, adding a delightful atmosphere to the evenings. The rooms are spacious, impeccably clean, and designed for ultimate relaxation. The hotel is just a few steps from a stunning beach, ideal for peaceful morning walks. This time, we traveled with a rental car, and the secure parking made everything very convenient. The hotel itself feels incredibly safe, and the staff went above and beyond to accommodate us. For instance, our flight was in the evening, and they kindly allowed us to keep our room a little longer, which was such a thoughtful gesture. This is without a doubt one of the best places to stay when visiting this beautiful island!

La Villa de Victor Kigomani

Matemwe

Offering an outdoor pool and views of the sea, La Villa de Victor Kigomani is located in Kigomani in the Zanzibar North East Region, 56 km from Zanzibar City. Nungwi is 23 km from the property.

La Villa de Victor Kigomani also includes a year-round outdoor pool. This must have been one of the best experiences of my travelling life! First, the Villa - it is a modern villa (a little unusual for Matemwe) with white-washed walls and warm accents throughout, right on the beach at the north end of the village of Matemwe (Kigomani). The view from my second floor terrace was amazing. It has a swimming pool which I sadly did not get to use. The bed was extremely comfortable, the bathroom was generous and convenient. The hosts, Paulette and Didier, were just wonderful! I was treated better than just a guest - the dinners were a family affair with lively conversation and wonderful food and wine. Staff were impeccable and always available to help. I arrived early than the standard check-in time, but my room was ready and I was glad I could get some rest after a whole morning of travelling.
