Matemwe Lodge lies perched on a coral rock, opposite the Mnemba Atoll on the quieter northeast corner of Zanzibar which offers spectacular diving and snorkelling. The friendly staff, relaxed atmosphere, lush tropical gardens, fine white sand, intimate swimming pools, massages, and open-air restaurant specializing in fresh seafood, make Matemwe the ultimate tropical paradise on the intriguing island of Zanzibar.
Matemwe Lodge offers 12 chalets including 6 triples and 2 of those with private pools. Each chalet has a private veranda with hammocks and couches overlooking the Indian Ocean. The beautifully presented rooms feature large comfortable beds and expansive bathrooms with deep bathtubs and walk-in showers.

Honeymoon to Asilia Matemwe Lodge
What a lovely place! We really enjoyed our time here - the staff were all amazingly friendly and we even got upgraded to the Retreat for our last 3 nights - it was beyond incredible! We did a few activities but mostly just relaxed, which was great.

Adventure Holiday to Asilia Matemwe Lodge
After Kichwa Tembo this felt more 'corporate', and as stated elsewhere wasn't a very comfortable experience but it was possible to eat excellent healthy meals.
The access road was terrible and we heard repeated stories of government inaction and corruption, but speaking out landed you in jail!
