Villa Kiva  

On Matemwe’s long white-sand coast in northeast Zanzibar, steps from Muyuni Beach and facing the Mnemba Island atoll. About 45 km from Stone Town, 53 km from Zanzibar Airport and close to ferry links — a true beachfront Matemwe hotel for snorkelers and beach lovers.

A low-key, locally rooted vibe where rooms show stylish décor with wooden beams and ethnic motifs. The property has 22 air-conditioned rooms and suites, some with a sitting area and TV, plus minibars, private showers, daily housekeeping, safes and coffee/tea makers. Matemwe’s small‑resort feel means you’ll share local life, fish markets and quiet beaches rather than big crowds.

Private sandy beach and two outdoor pools, a full spa and massage rooms, plus a diving club and easy access to Mnemba’s reef for snorkeling and scuba. Rent bicycles, book island tours at the desk, and enjoy concierge services, luggage storage, laundry and free self‑parking — wake up to sea‑breeze mornings and step straight into the water.

Conference hall and meeting facilities available, complimentary wireless internet throughout the property, plus concierge and 24‑hour airport shuttle options for easy arrivals.

Buffet breakfast each morning and the on‑site Villa Kiva Restaurant serving traditional Zanzibari dishes, fresh seafood and European options. There’s also a bar for cocktails and chilled evenings after a day on the reef.
