From Mauritius to Zanzibar! We are ready to welcome a new hotel to our collection of eco-committed hotels!
Attitude has entered into a binding agreement with Asilia Lodges and Camps Ltd (“Asilia Africa”) to take over Matemwe Bungalows Zaswi (Z) Ltd in Zanzibar, the company owning and operating Matemwe Lodge, Matemwe Retreat and Matemwe Beach House.
The final approvals by local authorities are expected to be completed by 30 November 2023. This will be our first hotel outside of Mauritius and we are excited to get started!
The property spans 20 acres of land and is located on the northeastern tip of the island, opposite the diving and snorkelling reefs of the protected Mnemba Atoll.
Attitude Hotels is planning to renovate the existing property into a hotel with 65 keys.
Bringing our eco-vision to new shores
Since 2008, Attitude has demonstrated a commitment to thesustainable development of Mauritius, promoting and supporting the local economy, community and environment. Our focus on sustainable tourism has grown over the years to become central to our purpose.
We have been looking to expand the Attitude Hotels brand to new destinations and are happy to have found the perfect match. Asilia Africa shares our vision for eco-committed tourism and a passion for travel with purpose. We have built a strong relationship with Asilia and the company is committed to supporting us with a smooth transition as we enter this new chapter.
We will renovate the property and bring theAttitude Hotels philosophy to Zanzibar, respecting local traditions, nurturing a local workforce and engaging with the local community.
Few words from our Deputy CEO - Vincent Desvaux de Marigny
“Asilia and Attitude are brands built on genuineness and a vision to benefit the local people and nature, so it feels like this project was meant for us.
We have eight eco-committed hotels in Mauritius and we are looking forward to launching the Attitude Hotels brand in Zanzibar and creating strong ties with local stakeholders, continuing the positive momentum that Asilia Africa has created.
This year marks the 15th anniversary of Attitude Hotels and it feels like the perfect time to announce the launch of a new destination during this milestone year!”
