Sunshine Bay Hotel Zanzibar, hotel in Matemwe

Located off the North-East coast of Zanzibar, in the Matemwe area, Sunshine Bay Hotel Zanzibar offers a beautiful white sandy beach, overlooking a magnificent turquoise lagoon.

Lovely hotel, comfortable, with friendly staff. Lovely bar and restaurant. Beach very close by, but not really usable for swimming as there are lots of rocks just off the beach and boats moored up in the morning, although good for sunbathing.

Zanzibar Retreat Hotel, hotel in Matemwe

Offering an outdoor pool and a restaurant, Zanzibar Retreat Hotel is located in Matemwe, a 10 seconds walk from the beach. Free WiFi access is available.

The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful, even arranging for my bag to be sent to Nungwi for me. Quiet and peaceful atmosphere, without any loud music, making it truly relaxing. Nice pool area and the beachfront location added to the experience without any outside interruptions, as no vendors could enter the hotel’s designated space. They also provided beach and pool toys, which was a nice touch. Comfortable rooms with AC. The restaurant served delicious food and drinks as well.

    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.

    Matemwe and its area is a quiet place where you can relax and enjoy the beach, the activities (snorkeling, swimming with dolphins) especially if you are a couple, because the village is not very full of enterteinments or night parties.

    Crystal clear water - despite there being sea urchins - if you have rock/ aqua shoes - you can still swim and explore the waters and reefs. The beaches are a lot quieter and peaceful than the busier beaches up north. The tides are also fascinating to watch- you can walk out to the reefs and cycle along the beaches when they go out!

    Was my first trip to Zanzibar, but for sure not my last. A very professional team managed by Mr. Mustafa and Ahmed. All the team were there to assist at any time and doing their best to provide an immaculate customer service with a smile and positive vibes. I would like to thank Lisa and Roleen, Hakuna Matata girls, Yassine and Youssef will miss you. An amazing hotel. Clean rooms. Amazing Indian ocean sun rise. Super delicious food. Hope to meet next year. Keep it up guys and wish you all the BEST.

    Great location, directly at the most beautiful beach of Zanzibar. Very large infinity pool and plenty of other pools to swim and play in. A lot staff and all very friendly. A lot of activities to choose from. Yoga with Sachin is really incredible, he is one of the best yoga teachers I have ever met. He will offer 2-3 group classes as well as 1:1 training on demand. Yoga and was my main activity during my stay :-) The live cooking event at the Asian restaurant was amazing too.

    It’s an absolutely stunning hotel. Best green view from the garden and a beach view from the front. Very clean and comfy rooms which are spacious. The staff were super friendly and welcoming. A clean pool by the beach. I just loved everything about this hotel. I’ll definitely return back in my future holidays and I’ll always recommend my family and friends to visit Zanzibar bahari villas hotel.

    This was our first family trip to Zanzibar, & after lot of research we booked the beach facing independent villa at Marafiki Beach Resort Hotel & Spa..... We were really delighted to experience a wonderful stay there... all in our privacy & comfort. Having an own swimming pool & direct access to white sand beaches were features which made it more exclusive.
