Zoi Boutique Hotel Zanzibar, a five-star eco-conscious retreat in the heart of Matemwe on Zanzibar's northeast coast, embodies a harmonious blend of wellness, sustainability, and Swahili elegance, celebrated as a member of Small Luxury Hotels of the World.

Sixteen spacious rooms and suites, designed with chic Swahili aesthetics, feature large windows that flood interiors with natural light, showcasing tranquil greens and blues inspired by the Indian Ocean. Each offers private balconies or verandas with ocean or garden views, air-conditioned comfort, and eco-friendly touches, paired with en-suite bathrooms featuring premium amenities. Two pristine swimming pools overlook the palm-lined, white-sand beach, while the spa offers traditional therapies using local botanicals to rejuvenate body and soul. Beach beds with umbrellas and complimentary bicycles invite leisurely exploration along the unspoiled coastline, fostering a deep connection with Zanzibar's biodiversity.

Dining at Theros Restaurant is a culinary ode to Zanzibar's bounty. Locally sourced, organic ingredients shine in dishes like fresh-caught fish with spice-infused sauces and seasonal vegetable medleys, crafted to delight the palate. Breakfast features tropical fruits and artisanal pastries, savoured in the open-air lounge or delivered to private verandas. The oceanfront bar serves refreshing cocktails and light bites, perfect for sipping on traditional benches under the shade of palms during sunset. Guests can join guided snorkeling to explore nearby reefs or relax with complimentary yoga sessions, immersing in the tranquil rhythm of Matemwe's shores.

Located steps from Matemwe's pristine beach, 55 km from Stone Town's historic charm, and 60 km from Abeid Amani Karume International Airport, Zoi Boutique Hotel offers seamless access to Zanzibar's cultural monuments and vibrant spice markets.
