Five Reasons to Choose Matemwe Attitude for Your Next Holiday:

1. A Beachfront That Looks Towards Mnemba

Matemwe Attitude sits on one of Zanzibar's finest stretches of coast, a wide sweep of pale sand fringed by casuarina and palm. The reef offshore keeps the shallows calm and clear, while the horizon is dotted with the white sails of local dhows heading out at first light. It's an uncrowded, easy sort of beach, the kind that rewards a long morning walk and a late afternoon doing very little at all.

2. Rooms With an Easy, Local Character

The accommodation here is comfortable and unfussy, drawing on Swahili craftsmanship and natural materials rather than showy design. Airy bungalows and rooms sit among tropical gardens, each with a private terrace or veranda for that first coffee of the day. Whether you're travelling as a couple after some quiet or with family who need room to spread out, you'll find a genuine sense of space and calm.

3. Dining Rooted in the Island's Larder

Food at Matemwe Attitude leans on what Zanzibar does best, with seafood landed nearby and menus threaded through with the cloves, cardamom, and cinnamon that gave the island its name. Expect relaxed poolside lunches, considered evening tables, and the kind of fresh, honest cooking that suits a barefoot setting. Settle in for a leisurely dinner beneath a sky full of stars, and you'll understand why so many guests linger long past dessert.

4. A Base for the Water and Beyond

The reef and the nearby Mnemba Atoll make this one of Zanzibar's great spots for time in and on the sea. Snorkelling, diving, and boat trips towards the atoll are all within easy reach, along with kayaking and paddleboarding in the sheltered shallows. Prefer to keep your feet dry? Your personal Travel Counsellor can arrange excursions to Stone Town's winding lanes, the fragrant spice farms inland, or the sandbanks and dolphins offshore.

5. Wellness and a Genuine Sense of Place

After a day in the sun, the spa offers massages and treatments designed to slow you right down, with the pool and shaded loungers on hand for doing very little, very happily. What lingers, though, is the authenticity: the warm Zanzibari welcome, the local touches woven through the design, and the unhurried island pace that shapes each day. It's a resort with real character rather than a template, and all the better for it.
