Zanzibar Sunrise At Bandas, a 4-star eco-friendly beach hotel on Matemwe's northeast coast, features two outdoor swimming pools and free yoga classes Monday through Friday. The property, built by 70 local artisans, integrates traditional materials like palm frond, banana leaves, and coco wood throughout its authentic design.

Oceanfront Natural Accommodations

Spacious thatched beach bandas offer private verandas directly on Matemwe's beach. The 229.7 ft^2 sea view banda includes a private plunge pool, while 40-180.4 ft^2 beachfront units provide direct access to the shore. Natural ventilation comes from the traditional open-front design and continuous sea breeze.

Beachside Dining Experience

The beachfront restaurant at Zanzibar Bandas combines international and local cuisines, earning recognition as a culinary destination in Matemwe. Guests can opt for private candle-lit dinners on their veranda, with room service available for all meals.

Lagoon Adventure Activities

Activities include kite surfing and kayaking in the protected lagoon, plus diving and snorkeling at Mnemba Atoll. The open-air yoga space overlooks the Indian Ocean, while massage services provide additional relaxation options.

Strategic Island Location

Zanzibar Sunrise At Bandas sits 31 miles from Kisauni Airport. The property offers airport transfers and is accessible via a one-hour drive from Stone Town through the verdant countryside, where palm, mango, and spice plants line the roadside.
