Arguably, along side destinations such as the North Island in the Seychelles, Mnemba Lodge holds the accolade of being one of the most expensive beach destinations in the world. It has hosted the likes of Bill Gates and Mick Jagger, and, to all but the very few, is only an idyllic island on the...

The sister property to both the Breezes and Baraza, The Palms was the first truly high end property on Zanzibar and, while it has had new competition over the years, it still offers something a little different. The main reason that it has managed to remain as popular as ever is the fact that,...

Well, what is there to say about Ras Kutani Hotel? This has been one of our best selling properties for nearly a decade and it does not look like it will stop. As with a few other properties around Tanzania (Greystoke’s Mahale and Mwagusi spring to mind), there is something that they have just...

Located right at the southern end of the white sand that runs from Matemwe to Chwake, Pongwe Beach Hotel has, we would argue, managed to claim itself the best chunk of beach on the island! Featuring a permanent sand beach, complete with lapping waves and azure waters, there is very little to fault...

Having been established for around 4 seasons now, Matemwe Retreat has been one of the more popular properties on the island, offering a secluded and luxury option for those wanting a little more than simplicity, but with a price tag that is slightly less than places like the Palms. With a couple...

One of the original small, boutique hotels on the island, the Shooting Star Lodge has still managed to maintain a great ambience and laid back approach to beach life! Set up on a cliff, many who come here tend to opt more for pool than beach, but this is not to say that they don’t have a great...

One of the older properties on the island, Ras Nungwi has long benefitted from being the last hotel on the coast up here and so has a stunning and secluded beach. As with many beaches around the headland, there is not much on offer at high tide, and quite a bit at low tide, but they do still have,...

Set right on the northern most point of Matemwe, Kasha Boutique Hotel has brought something slightly different to the beach hotels on the island. First of all, being located where it is has allowed them much more room than many of the other new properties. This has allowed Kasha to space the...

Set up on the northern most point on the island, Essque Zalu is a modern and chic addition to the island. Featuring service, food and accommodation of the highest standard, this hotel will definitely be pushing for the crown of best hotel in the next few years. While they don’t really feature a...

Green and Blue is a brand new offering to the island and it shares the same beach as the nearby Matemwe Main. One of the main features of the hotel is the stilted dining area that affords stunning views across the white sand beach to the beautiful island of Mnemba. This focus also gives a bit of a...

Consistently one of our top sellers over the years, Matemwe Main gives you a feeling of intimacy and style, but without being over the top. The rooms are vast and all look out onto the azure waters of the Indian Ocean. The 'property also has all of the features that you would want in a hideaway,...

A charming little property nestled on one of Zanzibar’s least busy beaches, Mchanga Beach Lodge started the new wave of properties that offer aircon and tidy rooms as standard at the lower end of the (price) market. With on sight owner/management, a small number of rooms and a good collection of...

As with quite a few of the newer properties to Zanzibar, the Sunshine Hotel has aimed squarely at the lower end of the price range, while offering such amenties as aircon as standard. The Sunshine hotel is probably one of the better new properties in the Matemwe area and gives a great beach, good...

The first of a new breed of hotel on the island, The Residence is forging the way in the up market hotel category. Situated right in the very south of the island, this vast plot of land hosts 66 luxury villas, all complete with their own pool and sun deck, set in amongst stunning gardens. With a...
