Though there are bustling corners on Zanzibar, the north eastern coastline is different. Kena Beach Hotel is located on Matemwe Beach, where the Indian Ocean, white sand and tall palms combine. The days can be very quiet, with fishing boats offshore, and a gentle breeze of air blowing through the gardens, particularly earlier in the day.

The Kena Beach Hotel is a relaxed environment. It features thatched roofs, places to have shade from the sun, and tropical plants all give it a comfortable and warm atmosphere. They give an extra little something that the beachfront setting adds when looking for that extra little something away from the tourist hotspots.
Life on Matemwe Beach
Kena Beach Hotel is located just outside Matemwe village on the northeastern coast of Zanzibar. The sea is beckoning, though at certain times this tide extends far out. It can be dependent upon the time of day to swim in the ocean.
The changing shoreline is an integral part of the experience. Guided reef walks are one of the adventures you can enjoy through Kena Beach Hotel at low tide. An outdoor swimming pool is also available and has greenery and shade. The beach is a tranquil spot. Early mornings bring soft light over the water, while afternoons can feel warmer and noticeably brighter.
Rooms and Everyday Comforts
The Kena Beach Hotel offers accommodation in standard and deluxe rooms, and a private Jacuzzi deluxe room. Family rooms will provide connecting spaces, convenient for larger groups. Some room types feature air conditioning, private decks and outdoor showers.
The other provision of the stay is meals. Kena Beach Hotel has bed and breakfast, half board, full board and all-inclusive rates. There's a restaurant, bar and spa too. Accommodation rates for two people are around 150 to 250 per night depending on the season, room type and meal options etc. Increased rates can be achieved at holiday times when the restaurants are full.
Experiences Beyond the Beach
The nearby coastline has more to provide than just great views. Kena Beach Hotel has an on-site dive centre, with diving and snorkelling excursions available around the nearby Mnemba Atoll area. Its waters are prolific in marine ornaments like corals and colourful life.
Taking a round trip with a bicycle around Matemwe Tembo is also an option. A different facet of Zanzibar is seen in the local homes, fishing activity, and on the small village roads. It is also easy to get to Stone Town in about 1 hour or slightly less by road with the option of staying at the nearby Kena Beach Hotel. The flight to Zanzibar's international airport takes typically about 75 minutes, depending on the traffic.
