Spotlight Stay: Matemwe Attitude
Attitude Hotels, Mauritius’s B Corp pioneer, is taking its ethos global for the first time with Matemwe Attitude, scheduled to open November 2025. Nestled on Zanzibar’s peaceful northeast coast, this adults-only resort offers 74 sleek, light-filled villas (74–101 m²) with private plunge pools, coral-hued curves, makuti-thatched roofs, and stained-glass accents crafted by local artisans. It’s a poetic expression of Zanzibar’s regional confidence—quiet, thoughtful, authentic
Why It’s Sustainable & Luxurious
• B Corp Legacy Goes Global
This is Attitude’s first step beyond Mauritius—but the values stay constant. B Corp rigor ensures every choice—from materials to workforce to waste—is intentional.
• Deep Cultural Collaboration
Decor and craftsmanship are locally rooted—Swahili design through coral stone, makuti roofing, and artisan details. Meals celebrate Zanzibari flavors sourced from regional producers.
• Zero Single-Use Plastic
Bulk shops replace disposables. Bottles, snacks, and treats are delivered in jars and bottles you refill—not discard.
• Marine Discovery Center
Education is at the heart of engagement. Guests can visit this marine-focused facility to learn about reef health and conservation.
• Nurturing People with Purpose
“Family Members” (staff) benefit from training, career pathways, health benefits, and profit-sharing—reflecting Attitude’s commitment to wellbeing and fairness.
✨ Luxury Highlight: Imagine waking in a handcrafted villa, steps from a coral-lagoon, dining barefoot with your toes in the sand, all within a property designed to serve place, community, and planet.
