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 quiet location in an untouched part of the island invite you to relax. 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 and takes approximately 1 hour by car.

The luxurious Adults-Only Hotel "Matemwe Attitude" will reopen in November 2025. 74 villas are spread across 80,000 m² amidst the hotel's green spaces. Guests will be treated to local dishes in 2 different restaurants and 3 bars (main buffet restaurant with local specialties, beach restaurant with table d'hôte and barbecue, cocktail bars and small gourmet snacks). Free Wi-Fi is available in all villas and public areas, although it is recommended to use it as little as possible to fully enjoy your stay. For this reason, TVs are also not provided in the rooms. Sun loungers and umbrellas are available free of charge at the main pool. In the bulk shop (daily from 7 am to 10 pm), you can get drinks, snacks, etc. without unnecessary packaging to reduce single-use plastics, and in the craft shop, you can purchase locally made gifts (shops open from 7 am to 10 pm). At the Marine Discovery Centre, interested visitors can learn about and support marine conservation. The hotel's organic garden, which supplies the kitchen, is open for visitors to explore. Additionally, a local cooking class with the chef and a coffee/tea tasting are offered. Guests can relax comfortably in the so-called "transit cabins" upon early arrival or late departure.

Destination information

Please note that hotel check-in takes place from 2 pm or 3 pm, regardless of arrival time.
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.
