“The serene Matemwe beach is just a minute's walk away!”view full review

A striking example of Swahili craftsmanship, Panga Chumvi Beach Resort sits gracefully on Matemwe's pristine beachfront, where silvery sands meet the azure Indian Ocean. Upon arrival, guests are enveloped by the resort's enchanting ambiance; traditional coconut wood villas, finely hand-crafted and scattered thoughtfully across the property, beckon with rustic elegance. Each bungalow boasts a romantic flair, adorned with antique-style wood furniture and regal butterfly netting that softens the lucid sunlight streaming through. The centerpiece of this eco-minded retreat is its alluring collection of relaxation zones-hammocks sway gently in the sea breeze, inviting you to read, sunbathe, or simply lose yourself in an afternoon nap. The on-site restaurant, with its spacious traditional terrace, serves fresh, locally-inspired dishes that imbibe the flavors of Zanzibar, while the serene swimming pool and full-service spa offer ultimate tranquility and rejuvenation. Everywhere you look, scale unravels: families and groups can choose between bungalows with connected rooms or opt for a sumptuous suite with an open terrace right on the beach, enjoying views of the glorious Mnemba Atoll, celebrated as the premier site for divers and snorkelers. Panga Chumvi is an embodiment of laid-back luxury; the perfect harmony of natural beauty and modern comforts.
