About this stay
Villa Unaweza is a boutique villa hotel in Matemwe, the quiet village where Zanzibar's northeast coast runs out, set 50 metres back from a white sand beach where local fishermen still sail wooden dhows. Its name means "you can" in Swahili, and the place is built with real affection for the island: makuti thatched roofs, whitewashed walls and furniture crafted by local carpenters. Ten double rooms in traditional African style have four poster beds under mosquito nets, air conditioning, a fridge, a safe and tea and coffee, along with spacious bathrooms with modern showers and twin sinks, and some look out to the ocean shore and its sunsets. Life centres on the free form pool and the big thatched restaurant and bar beside it, with cooked to order breakfasts, lounge corners, a pool table and evenings lit by lanterns, and there is beach volleyball for anyone who wants to stay active.
