Where to Stay

Kasha Boutique Hotel

from $175 per person per night for 2026/27

Redefining what you can expect at this price bracket

Set right on the northern most point of Matemwe, Kasha Boutique Hotel has brought something slightly different to the beach hotels on the island. First of all, being located where it is has allowed them much more room than many of the other new properties. This has allowed Kasha to space the bungalows out, and also make them all very roomy inside, with a full lounge both inside and out, plunge pools and total privacy. The only down side to this is that the beach is ok at the best of times.

Great rooms, nice and quiet location

No beach, layout a bit strange

About the location

As with many of the newer properties on the island, the plot that Kasha owns is located on the northern fringe of the island, where the coral ledge creates a fall to the beach.

The north‑eastern coastline provides access to the waters surrounding Mnemba Atoll, where snorkelling and diving reveal colourful reef fish, sea turtles and occasional dolphins. The shallow reef flats near Matemwe expose starfish and crabs at low tide, while kayaking and gentle paddle‑boarding are often possible in calm conditions. The area’s clear water makes marine wildlife encounters particularly rewarding for guests seeking soft adventure.

However, the tidal range can limit direct beach access, and the elevated cliffside position means swimming requires planning around tide times or joining organised excursions.

hotel Layout

With two lines of rooms, the sea front and sea facing, the rooms are pretty well spaced and have good views to the sea. A short walk from most of these is the good pool area that has a good sized pool, recliners and bar/restaurant.

Up from the bungalows, separated by a garden of sorts, is the main area which contains the restaurant, the “Baraza” bar and the entrance. To us it is a bit of a strange area as, being so far from the beach front, it is not really used during the day, but it kind of makes sense in the evening, as a way of getting people together. On the whole not a bad layout, but could feel a little disjointed.

Kasha Boutique Hotel Accomodation

The rooms at Kasha really are the best feature of the hotel with a sitting area, good sized bed, outside lounge area, outside sun beds and an outside plunge pool; all for this reasonable price! It is no wonder that many couples simply stay in their rooms the entire time they are here.

Beach

Situated right on the very northern most point of Matemwe, Kasha Boutique Hotel is blessed and cursed. It really doesn’t have the greatest beach as it sits right on a 12foot coral ledge. At high tide there is nothing, at low tide there is plenty of sand that runs right out to the coast. At mid-tide there is something and this is the time to walk the 200 yards or so.

Rooms

The rooms at Kasha really are the best feature of the hotel with a sitting area, good sized bed, outside lounge area, outside sun beds and an outside plunge pool…all for this reasonable price! it is no wonder that many couples simply stay in their rooms the entire time they are here.

On the whole not a bad layout, but could feel a little disjointed.
