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.

Matemwe and its area is a quiet place where you can relax and enjoy the beach, the activities (snorkeling, swimming with dolphins) especially if you are a couple, because the village is not very full of enterteinments or night parties.

Crystal clear water - despite there being sea urchins - if you have rock/ aqua shoes - you can still swim and explore the waters and reefs. The beaches are a lot quieter and peaceful than the busier beaches up north. The tides are also fascinating to watch- you can walk out to the reefs and cycle along the beaches when they go out!

Marafiki gets a 10/10 from us on all fronts - breakfast, lunch, dinner, pool, cleanliness, hospitality, music, sustainability, beach, communication. My husband and I stayed 4 nights at Marafiki after our Safari and had the most fabulous time. The rooms were very clean and quiet, and beautifully set up. The food is exceptional - please try the tuna tartar and all the specials! We had a relaxing time at the spa - you must try the full body scrub and massages. We used the free kayaks during sunset and enjoyed the stunning view from the water. The water is shallow so even if you go far, you can get off the kayak and swim. Since the hotel is east facing - sunrise is exceptionally beautiful. The water is still and shallow, and you can see all the fisherman walk up to the reef to catch the fish. The hotel also arranged a cooking lesson in Matamwe village for us - we learned how to cook ‘muchuzi’ from scratch which was a very meaningful experience. Overall- no negatives. We had the best time and will be back!

The beach is beautiful, but it's not really a beach you can swim on - there's a big tidal range - when it comes in it's quite choppy with lots of seaweed, and when it's out its corally with lots of urchins. But it's interesting to watch the local people looking for octopus and shellfish every day. It's quite a quiet area - all the bars are part of hotels. A few nice local restaurants around. Quite a lot of beach touts, which we found off putting. Not loads of activities to do in the area - 1/2 day snorkelling/dolphin watching trips at Mnemba Island basically.AlexUnited Kingdom

- 9.1Scored 9.1SuperbRated superb· 221 reviewsIt was a good experience staying at Kena Beach Hotel. Beautiful location right in front of Matemwe beach. This is the perfect place to take a break from everyday life and relax. The room was big and clean, fully equipped with all amenities, and with a private patio with garden view. The staff was amazing. They went over and beyond to help make my stay enjoyable. The guided reef walk offered by the hotel is highly recommended!!! I would love to come back to Kena Beach Hotel one day.AlessandroItaly

The hotel has a swimming pool where you can start in the morning or relax after lunch with a cold drink ... the beach is right in front of the hotel where there are sunbeds.

- From R$ 840.94 per night8.6Scored 8.6FabulousRated fabulous· 263 reviewsMatemwe is very quiet in a natural surroundings. The food was very very good in the restaurant with a beautiful view in front of the beach. In the morning during low tide it's worth it to take some shoes and walk with local people in the sea to see some starfishes (do not touch them or take them outside the water, it can kill them). The staff in the hotel and restaurant was kind, smiling and very helpful. We had a wonderful time.JulienSwitzerland
- From R$ 762.10 per night9.6Scored 9.6ExceptionalRated exceptional· 635 reviewsMarafiki Beach Hotel is the perfect place to relax. Located on a quiet part of the Matemwe beach it has the classic ‘take your shoes off and dive into a book’ vibe. Sun beds and tents located around the pool are really comfy to enjoy the sun or have a nap in the shade. As in the rest of Zanzibar the high/low tide changes the beach significantly, allowing for never ending morning strolls and afternoon swims (beware sea urchins).
