About Hodi Hodi Zanzibar

A tranquil beachside sanctuary – perfect for small groups and celebrations.
Hodi Hodi Zanzibar is a small lodge comprising three separate houses set on the white sands of a private stretch of Matemwe Beach on tropical Zanzibar Island. In keeping with its dedication to responsible tourism and providing an authentic and sustainable experience, everything at Hodi Hodi is locally sourced – its menu, inspired by Spain, India and the Middle East, is produced using ingredients and spices grown on the islands, and the staff are local too. Book a house (or all three) for a family holiday or special occasion. Then kick back and have some fun.

Property details

The property

The main area is warm and homely. Here you'll find a small bar (the barman is quite happy to climb a tree should you require a fresh coconut) and a restaurant overlooking the beach. All the meals are fresh and delicious, with a focus on local seafoods. Outside is a plunge pool. There are barbecue facilities, free Wi-Fi throughout and a tour desk for arranging outings (and the packed lunches you'll need to sustain you).

The rooms

Three houses can be booked separately or collectively for small groups. Colonial Arabic-style Dua House has two sun terraces, an interior sunken lounge and a well-equipped kitchen. Cool and modern Poa House has a private rooftop sun terrace and sleeps four in private double rooms that open on to the beach. Toto House has a ground-level family suite, with a double bed and three single beds. All have pool or sea views, a seating area and outdoor dining area.

Activities

The sea is the main attraction here, and the nearby watersports centre has all the gear you'll need. The diving in the area is excellent, as is the snorkelling. Expert kite-surfing tuition is offered and boats and equipment can be rented for kayaking. Go sailing in a local dhow or ngalawa. Explore Matemwe village, take a guided tour to Stone Town or an intoxicating spice farm, or head off on a bike. And, of course, there's that long seductive beach.
