“This hotel, nestled on Matemwe Beach, strikes me as a family-run gem; the owners clearly emphasize authentic Zanzibari hospitality, from the personalized diving instruction to the private beach. I particularly appreciate the eco-conscious touches-the treated drinking water and focus on sustainability-alongside the unique rooms that feature outdoor showers. All told, it seems a genuinely thoughtful retreat on Zanzibar's northeast coast.”
