North-east coast
Matemwe sits directly opposite Mnemba Atoll on the north-east coast — the shortest boat ride to Zanzibar's best snorkelling and diving, with a quiet, village-flavoured beach.
Boats reach the atoll in around 15–20 minutes, so Matemwe guests get the earliest, calmest water of the day.

Kiwengwa's beach clubs and caves are a short drive south; Nungwi's nightlife is about 40 minutes away.
