Location

Matemwe Beach is a small guesthouse which is located out on its own on a long stretch of classic palm-lined, white sand beach on the the North East coast of Zanzibar Island. Just off-shore from the guesthouse is the world-famous Mnemba Atoll, whose circling reef has some of the best diving in East Africa. Along the beach from us are palm-thatched villages, where friendly local people live a traditional life dominated by fishing. Matemwe really is close to the classical notion of paradise.

Accommodation and Facilities

There have seventeen rooms at the guesthouse, all of which have ensuite bathrooms.

There are seven rooms on the front row, which are set back a little from the beach for privacy. Next there are three rooms in a second group a little further back. Finally there are another seven rooms which we have built 100 metres back from the beach which offer a glimpse of the sea and a cool breeze though the night.

All rooms have fans. There are also two rooms which we have fitted with air-conditioning, but again this is not usually necessary as there is almost always a sea breeze. Electricity is 230Vac, powered by generator, which we usually run most of the day and through the night. Plugs are UK 3-rectangular-pin pattern.
