Spacious room. Great breakfast selection. Lovely staff. Always water in my room and they came every evening to bug spray, close curtains and put the mosquito net down. Lovely place and the beach/surroundings are beautiful too.

My wife and I visited Zanzibar for the first time in March 2025. We spent the first four days at the Infinity Boutique Hotel in Matembwe and were absolutely enchanted. I rarely give exceptional ratings, and certainly not for every checkbox, but this is exceptional to a degree that merits the rating. The property is new so everything is in excellent condition. It owned and managed by a couple that moved there from Poland to start the venture. Tomak and Margo are kind, warm, hospitable, and helpful hosts. My wife didn't have a hat for the harsh sun. Maggie loaned her one. There was a problem with a leak in our bathroom. Tomak ensured the problem was fixed quickly. I developed a slight sunburn on my head. Maggie brought aloe vera ointment without being asked. We did day trips to Ningwi and for snorkling near Mnemba Island. They organized everything and ensured flexibility to accommodate changing weather during the rainy season, when we were there (we recommend it). We were the only guests for one day and night. There was another couple on other days, but we really had the place to ourselves. It was tranquil and relaxing!! We were treated like family and felt that way. The bed was very comfortable. The AC is excellent. Excellent WiFi reception everywhere on the property. The views are breathtaking. I have marvelous sunrise pictures. The pool is spacious and was always available for a swim. The staff were cheerful, professional and very likeable. Several became friends. Sitting on the open-air covered terrace sipping a cold one and watching the tides roll in and out was our best memory of Zanzibar. The ocean is many shades of blue with white, fine sand. The meals were delicious. Chef Sultan made flawless dishes. Best fries I have ever had, including in Belgium.

Our stay at Haber Apartments was fantastic! One of the standout features was the large, beautiful pool, which was perfect for relaxing after a day of exploring. The rooms were incredibly spacious—much bigger than other hotels we’ve stayed at in Zanzibar, giving us plenty of room to unwind. The food was equally amazing, not just in taste but in presentation. Every meal was beautifully decorated and tasted just as great, adding a touch of luxury to the dining experience. The staff was another highlight—they were incredibly friendly and truly went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed. From the moment we arrived, we felt warmly welcomed, and the service continued to impress us throughout our stay. We highly recommend Haber Apartments for anyone looking for comfort, space, and exceptional hospitality in Zanzibar in a beautiful scenery!

    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.

    The snorkeling was a true adventure, with well-protected marine life and crystal-clear water. Spotting the dolphins was an unexpected bonus! Visiting the sea turtle rehabilitation center and feeding them was a special experience.

    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.

    This is an excellent little boutique hotell with a nice position in the end at Matemwe beach. It has a good size pool close to the beach. A neat restaurant and a cozy lounge section. The hotell is the perfect size, not to big nor to small. The rooms are very big and tidy and the overall atmosphere is fantastic. But what really stands out is the management and staff. Super friendly and helpful in a most genuine way.

    What a gorgeous villa. An absolute paradise, right on the Indian Ocean. The decor is stunning with a wonderful combination of polished concrete and wood. Air conditioning in each bedroom and a welcome pool. Staff were very helpful with booking transfers. Plenty of restaurants along the beach, Zanzibar Queen being our favourite. A perfect spot for a getaway. Would love to go back.
