Location

The "Matemwe Attitude" is a 4-star hotel located in Matemwe on the north coast of Zanzibar. The seemingly endless beach and the hotel's tranquil setting in an unspoiled part of the island invite you to relax and unwind. 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, approximately a 1-hour drive.

The unique Adults-Only Hotel "Matemwe Attitude" celebrated its grand reopening in November 2025. 74 villas are spread across 80,000 m² amidst almost untouched tropical nature. Guests are treated to local dishes at 2 different main restaurants (buffet restaurant with international and local specialties, beach restaurant with pizza and Tanzanian street food) and 2 bars. Both restaurants are included in the Dine-Around option (from half board onwards). Sun loungers and umbrellas are available free of charge for all guests at the 2 pools and on both beaches. The Local Shop offers drinks, snacks, etc. without unnecessary packaging to reduce single-use plastic, as well as locally produced souvenirs. At the Marine Discovery Center, interested visitors can learn about the ocean habitat and the conservation projects of the Attitude Foundation. The hotel's own organic garden, which supplies the kitchen, is open for visitors to explore. Additionally, a local cooking class with the head chef and a coffee/tea tasting are offered. The arrival and departure lounge with showers and changing facilities is available to guests free of charge upon early arrival or late departure. Although Wi-Fi is available in all areas of the hotel, there are deliberately no TVs in the rooms. Simply switch off, take a deep breath, and return to what truly matters. The hotel is the ideal place to rediscover relaxation.

Destination information

Please note that hotel check-in, regardless of arrival time, is from 2 PM or 3 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.
