Matemwe Attitude is a brand-new, four-star, eco-committed, adults-only resort in Zanzibar, set to open in November 2025.
Location:
Situated on the tranquil northeast coast of Zanzibar in Matemwe, this resort boasts an unspoiled beachfront and spans 80,000 square meters of lush tropical greenery.
Concept: Designed as a laid-back luxury escape, it invites guests to reconnect with themselves, nature, and the present moment, away from trends and pressures. The atmosphere is described as "pole pole" (slowly slowly in Swahili).
Accommodation:
The resort will offer 74 spacious villas, ranging from 74m² to 101m². Designed with Swahili cultural influences, these villas feature curved coral-colored walls, makuti roofs, and colourful stained-glass windows crafted by local artisans. Some villas will have private pools or swim-up access, while others offer direct beach access or sea views.
Dining:
At Matemwe Attitude, cuisine is simple, fresh, and generous: a buffet with international flavours, local beachside barbecues, and wood-fired pizzas to enjoy by the ocean. With the Dine Around experience, included from half-board upwards, you’re free to explore the hotel’s different dining spots at your own pace.
