The intimate restaurant offers a range of seafood specialties as well as high-quality meat and vegetarian dishes. Guests can unwind by the attractive multi-level swimming pool with pool-side bar and can spend the day enjoying many varied activities including snorkeling, diving, massages, reef walks, dhow trips, village visits, spice tours, day trips (Stone Town, Jozani Forest, Prison Island and more).
Accommodation options
Matemwe Lodge has 12 en-suite bungalows available built from local materials, each with a personal touch. While the sea is always available, a multi-level swimming pool is available to refresh guests during the sunny Zanzibar days.
All the rooms, as well as our restaurant are directly overlooking the Indian Ocean. You can enjoy the comings and goings of the local ngalawa fishing fleet from the comfort of your veranda, from the poolside relaxation area or from the restaurant.
