Matemwe Beach

If Nungwi is Zanzibar’s vibrant party, Matemwe is its peaceful, luxurious escape. Located on the northeast coast, its vast, powder-white beach offers an atmosphere of profound tranquility and exclusivity. The rhythm of life here is dictated by the tides; at low tide, the ocean reveals an expansive reef perfect for cultural observation and long walks, while high tide brings the turquoise waters to the shore. Matemwe’s prime location makes it the ultimate launching point for excursions to the breathtaking Mnemba Atoll, Zanzibar’s premier destination for snorkeling and diving. It’s the perfect choice for travelers seeking serenity, romance, and direct access to the island’s best marine life.
