Zawadi Hotel

The north-east part of Zanzibar Island is known as Matemwe. This area is famous for its fine white sand beaches, the contrasting colours of the Indian Ocean and the beauty of the coral reef around the Mnemba Island. Here the tides govern the rhythm of the day. At high tide the fisherman stream across the lagoon in their billowing dhows, while at low tide the sea goes right out revealing a fascinating reef where you can explore for hours.

Diving in the shallow lagoon is accessible directly from the beach. A shuttle service to the resort’s sister hotels (2 km away) at specific scheduled times, allows Zawadi guests to use the tennis courts and the Water Club (kite surfing, sailing, snorkeling safari by boat) all available at a charge.
