My wife and I had the pleasure of spending a week at the beautiful Hotel Infinity Beach Boutiq in Zanzibar, and we can wholeheartedly recommend this place. The hotel is just one year old, and you can tell – everything is modern, stylish, and designed with great attention to detail. The spacious pool (25x15 m), surrounded by numerous palm trees, is a highlight of the property. It was a delight to cool off here during the day or simply relax and enjoy the tranquility. The culinary offerings were equally impressive. The selection of food and drinks was excellent, and the quality left nothing to be desired. We also appreciated that the staff spoke very good English, which made communication smooth and ensured we felt well taken care of at all times. A special thanks to the hotel owners, Tomek and Malgo. Their presence and attentiveness were exceptional – they regularly checked in to see if everything was okay or if we needed anything. You can tell they genuinely care about the well-being of their guests. The location of the hotel is perfect for anyone seeking peace and relaxation. It is situated directly on the northeastern Matemwe Beach, a beautiful and relatively quiet stretch of coastline, ideal for long walks or simply enjoying the sea breeze. In summary, our stay at Hotel Infinity Beach Boutiq was great. We felt completely at ease and would recommend this little paradise to anyone visiting Zanzibar.

We just LOVED our entire stay! This was the third hotel on our vacation, and we think it was overall just amazing. It had the best value for money, and I highly recommend this hotel to everyone! The things that made it so amazing were the whole vibe, the awesome and energetic staff, the top-notch service (we even got a surprise room upgrade for free, which made our stay extra special 🫶🏼), and the FOOD—so good! We’re both foodies, so that was really important to us. Plus, the direct access to the beach and the beach bar were a great bonus. I mean, come on—the drinks here were fantastic! Thank you, Marafiki! If we come back to Zanzibar, we’ll definitely stay here again!

FAQs about hotels in Matemwe

What guests said about Matemwe:

Matemwe was nice - the beach part.

Matemwe was nice - the beach part. Sad to see the poverty behind the gates of the hotel. The tides were a bit different from what we have expected as the water would leave the beach at 9am and return around 5pm. If you did not make it to swim early in the morning, you missed it. We took a reef walk which was beautiful, saw a lot of see creatures, and that was very amazing experience. Also took a boat tour to see the sunset - it was worth the trip. Did not like how the locals would just stop on the beach and start shouting at you to buy smth. Also the part of the hotel beach is not segregated in any way, which does not give you a privacy enough. The food was amazing though - the hotel goes much beyond - and all day brekfast concept was amazing.

Matemwe is ideal for relaxing and spending quality time with friends and family. Matemwe is near Mnemba island 🏝️ for swimming with dolphins 🐬 . We rode bicycles 🚲 around the village and the place felt very safe. There are few alternative places for lunch or dinner. Not too far from stone town.

Matemwe beach was huge and totally uncrowded - some days we were lucky to see 10 - 20 people pass by! Loved the Massai beach hawkers - friendly and laid back happy to have their pictures taken - no hassle or relentless chasing - once told 'no' they respected our space. Recommend a day trip to Nungwi for a completely different vibe and fantastic sunset. Matemwe is somewhat isolated and if you want to get around you need to secure the number of a local taxi driver - always bargain hard beforehand. Most hotels organise trips/tours but at a premium.

It was a quieter beach which was nice which also meant not too many people hassling you to buy things. Those that did were respectful. Beach is nice but the sea depth is very shallow most of the day so swimming wasn't the easiest and there was a lot of seaweed when we were there.

It’s very quiet, very few non hotel restaurants, overpriced food everywhere, can’t swim in the sea unless you don’t mind knee deep water. There’s no town, or town centre outside the beach hotels, so a long stay would be challenging if you want more than just lounging by the hotel pool.
