Pearl of
About
Pearl of Zanzibar, on Zanzibar, occupies a spot in Matemwe on the island's north-east coast, with the address listed as Matemwe Zanzibar TZ, 2762. The venue operates as a hotel, and its website, http://www.zanzibarpearl.com/, serves as the main online reference.
First-time visitors should expect a coastal hotel setting in Matemwe, away from the busier resort strips of the north and east. Guests have given Pearl of Zanzibar 4.3 out of 5 from 272 reviews, a solid record for an island hotel. Nungwi, Kendwa, Paje, Jambiani and Bwejuu are the other main beach areas on Zanzibar, and Stone Town lies to the south-west.
Ferries and flights from Dar es Salaam serve both Zanzibar and Pemba, and light aircraft link the two islands, so reaching Matemwe from the mainland is manageable. Cloves are grown on both islands, and Pemba produces much of Tanzania's clove crop.
Stone Town, the old quarter of Zanzibar City, is a UNESCO World Heritage Site built from coral stone. Zanzibar was the seat of the Omani sultanate and a dhow-trade hub, then united with Tanganyika in 1964 to form Tanzania, and that history shapes the architecture and cooking of the island.
