We really enjoyed our stay. The room was lovely, with a beautiful view. The staff were exceptionally kind, polite, and helpful. Room service and cleaning were excellent, and the air conditioning worked perfectly. It’s a great value for money. The beach was peaceful, with soft white sand. Although the water was quite shallow, we preferred taking a boat to swim in deeper areas. Megan was very professional and went above and beyond to help arrange a romantic birthday dinner for my boyfriend with a private music band and beautiful decorations in our room. He was truly happy! The swimming pools were stunning, with a gorgeous turquoise color.

We had an incredible stay at infinity beach. From the moment we arrived, we were welcomed with warmth and hospitality by the owners Tomas and Maggie, who went above and beyond to ensure we felt completely at home. Their kindness and attentiveness made our stay unforgettable! The hotel itself is a work of art. Every detail was carefully designed to reflect a unique modern yet antique aesthetic. The rooms were spacious, elegantly designed, and offered incredible views of the beach and the semi Olympic sized pool, allowing us to wake up to the sound of the waves every morning. The food was another highlight of our stay. Every meal was delicious and the friendly, attentive wait staff made dining a lovely experience each time. Infinity Beach is a place that captures your heart. We left feeling like we got everything we needed from this stay and with a strong desire to return. If you're looking for a luxurious, intimate getaway in Zanzibar, this is the perfect place to unwind.

The room was very big and comfortable. Breakfast was awesome, big and many options. Very good food the the hotel. Friendly and helpful owners. The hotel is not right on the beach but the beach is very close, it is a walking distance or you can also use a free bike. That was actually the reason why we selected this hotel as you may use bikes to get to some other nearest locations/beaches without any extra cost. Still, you probably need to be aware that during the day it will be very hot and a bike adventure might be a challenge, and at night the road will be the darkest place on Earth. If you plan to use the bikes bring your own light. The ones at the hotel didn't have any lights which seemed to be a rule on Zanzibar.

Beautifully designed little complex made for an extremely relaxing two night stay. The team were very welcoming and helpful, and facilitated a late check out so we could fully enjoy our last day. The pool was fantastic. Breakfast was exceptional, and we enjoyed the other meals and drinks we had there. All very close to the beach, its bars and restaurants, and village.

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.

By far the best accommodation we had in Zanzibar! Spacious and private rooms, situated in a gorgeous garden! Extremely quiet and peaceful. The staff is lovely and ready to help with any requests. The beach only visible on low tide but not a problem if you anticipate it.
