Every villa has an outdoor area with sun loungers, and those along the seafront and beachfront enjoy panoramic views across the turquoise lagoon.

Location

Matemwe Attitude sits on Zanzibar’s quiet north-east coast, along an unspoilt stretch of shoreline facing Mnemba Island. Traditional dhows drift across the turquoise lagoon, and the reefs around Mnemba offer some of the island’s best snorkelling. Zanzibar International Airport is about an hour and a half away by road, while historic Stone Town is between an hour and 15 minutes and an hour and a half, depending on traffic. Nungwi, at the island’s northern tip, is 45 minutes to an hour by car.
