Location: The property is situated in a peaceful village very close to Matemwe Beach, one of Zanzibar's quiet and picturesque white-sand beaches. Guests appreciated its proximity to Mnemba Atoll and its suitability for relaxing walks and beach activities.

All we have to say about Villa Unaweza is so good that can be resumed in just one word: PERFECT. The staff is great, the service is 5*, the clealiness is superb, the atmosphere outstanding and location, again, perfect. If all the above is not enough, the management is so warming and nice that worth an extra point on that already given 10 over 10 rate. If we would be so lucky to get back to this amazing island there would be no doubt, Villa Unaweza would always be our choice. Thanks to everyone one at the hotel for making our time here an incredible experience and thanks to the nicest Polish girls leading this piece of paradise on earth.

Over the past year, I’ve had the chance to visit many resorts in Zanzibar, and Villa Unavewaze truly stands out. The atmosphere is peaceful and beautifully designed, offering a cozy and intimate escape. The staff are exceptionally kind, welcoming, and always ready to help with a smile. The food was another highlight – fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. Whether you’re looking for a romantic getaway or a relaxing break, this place is a perfect choice. Thank you for a wonderful stay – I will definitely be back!

My husband and I stopped for lunch at this magical and intimate hotel. It has everything you need for a peaceful stay, including a lovely pool, excellent restaurant and bar, and beautiful garden surroundings. The white sand beach is just a short walk away. The owner is delightful and welcoming, ready and willing to assist you in any way. I highly recommend it!

What an absolutely stunning location to spend a few days or even weeks, the room was wonderful with everything you could possibly need, the bed was so comfortable with big fluffy pillows. A quiet mini resort perfect for a calm switch off vacation. Breakfast is served at a time conducive to total relaxation and is by far the best breakfast we ate in across all the accommodation we stayed in during our time in Zanzibar, everything is considered even the flies which are flicked away with the table fans. The pool is sufficient in size to accommodate the number of rooms with sunbed allocated to each room. Free yoga classes on the mezzanine floor are a perfect way to start/end the day. Shower was hot, toiletries are out of this world, a true sense of luxury. This hotel is situated a really, really short walk from the beach, is completely secure and I can't recommend it enough for anyone wanting to switch off and completely relax.

An amazing little hotel only 50 meters from Matemwe Beach, the most beautiful white beach so calm and peaceful. Villa Unaweza has the most amazing atmosphere, both architecturally, total African charm, but most of all the most amazing people on staff. From the service in the reception, the restaurant (no one mentioned, no one forgotten) to the cleaning, the kitchen - all with a smile and kindness. The food is amasing at very reasonable prices, always served with a smile. I can highly recommend a stay at Villa Unaweza, recharge your batteries and go home with hakuna matata in your heart.

Stayed here for e nights and absolutely loved it. Spotlessly clean, comfy bed, beautiful decor, good pool. Staff are lovely and friendly, breakfast is superb, fruits, breads, choice of 5 different breakfast courses, coffee and juice. The grounds are lovely. the place has a really chilled vibe about it. There's not much to do in Matenwe apart from walking on the beach and relaxing, and Villa Unaweza makes you want to do exactly that, relax. Villa has a great restaurant and bar area, and the beach is no more than a minutes walk away.

We enjoyed our stay at this hotel. Its close to the beach but not directly on the beach and it has a great pool area. The rooms were spacious and modern. I found that it lacked shelving or bench space for your luggage and there wasn't enough space for unpacking so your stuff ended up on the floor, but that was a minor detail. The pool area is the highlight of the hotel with lots of space to relax and close enough to the bar and restaurant area. The staff are helpful, especially Silvie who offers complimentary yoga classes and is knowledgable on tours and activities. I must say that the restaurant was overpriced for what they were offering and food took almost an hour to prepare (even frozen pizza bases) - also, we were a group of 10 and their kitchen couldn't cope with the orders for all 10 of us - so we never got our food together. By the time the last person received their food, the first person had been finished their dinner for a good 30 minutes.
