Property Overview

Matemwe Attitude is a four-star adults-only villa hotel on Zanzibar’s north-east coast, positioned between tropical gardens and the beach facing Mnemba Island. Its 74 villas draw on Swahili architecture and local craftsmanship, using curved coral-toned walls, stained-glass details, patterned screens and makuti roofs. The atmosphere is intentionally unhurried, with private spaces, ocean-facing areas and experiences shaped around the island’s culture. The property is designed for adults aged 18 and over.

Rooms

Accommodation consists of 74 spacious villas inspired by Zanzibar’s architecture and made with locally crafted materials. Options include villas opening onto shared infinity pools, private-pool villas set within gardens, and ocean-facing categories with terraces and direct or partial sea views. Interiors combine king-size beds, outdoor living areas and distinctive features such as open-air showers or shaded terraces. The range allows couples to prioritise privacy, immediate pool access or a position closer to the beach.

Food & Drink

Dining moves between international flavours and the food traditions of Zanzibar, with local spices, grilled fish and relaxed meals by the ocean. Chakula Chakula serves buffet selections and island specialities, while Fukwe offers wood-fired pizzas in a casual beachfront setting. The Dine Around concept allows guests on eligible meal arrangements to use the different dining spaces, and in-villa dining is also available. Bars provide cocktails, coffee and fresh juices beside the pool and across the resort.

Experiences & Activities

The activity programme balances relaxation, movement and contact with local culture. Guests can join sunrise or sunset yoga, meditation, guided coastal walks and fitness sessions on the beach, while dhow trips, snorkelling, aquayoga and scuba diving with certified partners bring the lagoon into the experience. Workshops cover cooking, weaving, henna art and the history of the traditional kanga textile. Evenings may include live performances, open-air cinema, drumming and traditional dance.

SPA & Wellness

Spa POZ follows a natural, locally rooted approach, using plant-based ingredients and treatments influenced by Zanzibar and wider African traditions. The menu includes massages, facials, body scrubs and after-sun care, with therapies available in indoor rooms, outdoor beach kiosks or privately in a villa on request. Heated spice pouches feature in one of the body treatments, while deeper massage techniques focus on releasing tension. Yoga, meditation and beachfront fitness complement the spa experience.
