Matemwe Bungalows is a simple, stylish beach lodge overlooking Mnemba Atoll and offering comfortable accommodation in 14 thatched bungalow suites.

Matemwe Bungalows has a stunning setting, perched on low coral cliffs at the end of one the best beaches in Zanzibar. This laid-back, friendly lodge has a relaxed, unpretentious feel and comprises 14 thatched bungalow suites overlooking the turquoise ocean. Outsized bathtubs, private verandahs (all with a hammock) and warm sea breezes add to the chilled out atmosphere.

Seafood is, understandably, a speciality, a delicate mix of African and European flavours, and the new Sail Bar is an excellent place to round off the day with a cocktail under the stars. The lodge is just a few minutes by boat from the superb diving and snorkelling reefs at Mnemba Atoll and is a perfect place to unwind.
