My wife and I had the pleasure of spending a week at the beautiful Hotel Infinity Beach Boutiq in Zanzibar, and we can wholeheartedly recommend this place. The hotel is just one year old, and you can tell – everything is modern, stylish, and designed with great attention to detail. The spacious pool (25x15 m), surrounded by numerous palm trees, is a highlight of the property. It was a delight to cool off here during the day or simply relax and enjoy the tranquility. The culinary offerings were equally impressive. The selection of food and drinks was excellent, and the quality left nothing to be desired. We also appreciated that the staff spoke very good English, which made communication smooth and ensured we felt well taken care of at all times. A special thanks to the hotel owners, Tomek and Malgo. Their presence and attentiveness were exceptional – they regularly checked in to see if everything was okay or if we needed anything. You can tell they genuinely care about the well-being of their guests. The location of the hotel is perfect for anyone seeking peace and relaxation. It is situated directly on the northeastern Matemwe Beach, a beautiful and relatively quiet stretch of coastline, ideal for long walks or simply enjoying the sea breeze. In summary, our stay at Hotel Infinity Beach Boutiq was great. We felt completely at ease and would recommend this little paradise to anyone visiting Zanzibar.

Our stay at Haber Apartments was fantastic! One of the standout features was the large, beautiful pool, which was perfect for relaxing after a day of exploring. The rooms were incredibly spacious—much bigger than other hotels we’ve stayed at in Zanzibar, giving us plenty of room to unwind. The food was equally amazing, not just in taste but in presentation. Every meal was beautifully decorated and tasted just as great, adding a touch of luxury to the dining experience. The staff was another highlight—they were incredibly friendly and truly went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed. From the moment we arrived, we felt warmly welcomed, and the service continued to impress us throughout our stay. We highly recommend Haber Apartments for anyone looking for comfort, space, and exceptional hospitality in Zanzibar in a beautiful scenery!

Hotel staff is very attentive to their guests and do everything your trip to be unforgettable. Location is very beautiful but ocean depends on tides and the moon, so don’t forget to upload TIDE application to plan your swimming days. Food in the restaurant is fresh and tasty.

The peace and tranquility. It is a small hotel but very personable. The staff are very helpful and friendly, it's very clean and the rooms are so comfortable. The food is great and the pools are lovely. The beach is lovely to swim in when it is high tide only and you can walk along the lengthy beach. There is use of bikes and kayaks also.

Amazing service, thanks to Derek and all his team. I travel quite a lot across Africa and this has been the most amazing level of service in many years. This is really a sustainable / eco-resort and you feel super integrated in the environment. The staff will do anything as necessary to keep you happy. In my case they helped so much for some important videocalls that I had to have during my stay. I can only recommend this fantastic hotel!

FAQs about hotels in Matemwe

What guests said about Matemwe:

Matemwe was nice - the beach part.

Matemwe was nice - the beach part. Sad to see the poverty behind the gates of the hotel. The tides were a bit different from what we have expected as the water would leave the beach at 9am and return around 5pm. If you did not make it to swim early in the morning, you missed it. We took a reef walk which was beautiful, saw a lot of see creatures, and that was very amazing experience. Also took a boat tour to see the sunset - it was worth the trip. Did not like how the locals would just stop on the beach and start shouting at you to buy smth. Also the part of the hotel beach is not segregated in any way, which does not give you a privacy enough. The food was amazing though - the hotel goes much beyond - and all day brekfast concept was amazing.

Matemwe is ideal for relaxing and spending quality time with friends and family. Matemwe is near Mnemba island 🏝️ for swimming with dolphins 🐬 . We rode bicycles 🚲 around the village and the place felt very safe. There are few alternative places for lunch or dinner. Not too far from stone town.

Matemwe beach was huge and totally uncrowded - some days we were lucky to see 10 - 20 people pass by! Loved the Massai beach hawkers - friendly and laid back happy to have their pictures taken - no hassle or relentless chasing - once told 'no' they respected our space. Recommend a day trip to Nungwi for a completely different vibe and fantastic sunset. Matemwe is somewhat isolated and if you want to get around you need to secure the number of a local taxi driver - always bargain hard beforehand. Most hotels organise trips/tours but at a premium.

It was a quieter beach which was nice which also meant not too many people hassling you to buy things. Those that did were respectful. Beach is nice but the sea depth is very shallow most of the day so swimming wasn't the easiest and there was a lot of seaweed when we were there.

It’s very quiet, very few non hotel restaurants, overpriced food everywhere, can’t swim in the sea unless you don’t mind knee deep water. There’s no town, or town centre outside the beach hotels, so a long stay would be challenging if you want more than just lounging by the hotel pool.

The pool area is also amazing and the umbrellas give a welcome relief from the strong sun on the local beach. The staff are the best, so sweet and attentive. It's very very clean, the staff clean rooms every day and spray against mosquitoes. Food is delicious as well, although pricy.
