Matemwe Beach

Salama & Mbuyuni Bungalows

One of Matemwe's better-value stays, a family-friendly bungalow hotel with two restaurants, a small spa and live music, rated 9.4/10 over 500-plus reviews. It sits a little back from the beach, and the rooms don't list air-con, so ask before you book if that matters. About US$94 a night.
