Anantara Zanzibar Resort & Residences is a luxury beachfront resort and branded residence development in Nungwi, Zanzibar. The project combines five-star hospitality, private ownership, and a professionally managed rental program under the Anantara brand.

The resort is located in Nungwi, one of Zanzibar's most popular coastal destinations. It is approximately 5–7 minutes from the heart of Nungwi and around one hour from Stone Town, Zanzibar's historic capital.

The project is developed by Infinity Developments, a Dubai-headquartered real estate developer operating across Zanzibar and East Africa. The project is part of Infinity Group's wider luxury hospitality and real estate portfolio.

The resort will be professionally managed by Anantara, a globally recognized luxury hospitality brand under Minor Hotels. Anantara will oversee the hospitality operations, guest experience, rental management, and resort standards.

The development includes a selection of luxury units, including Lagoon Suites, Hotel Suites, Penthouses, the Royal Suite, One-Bedroom Villas, Two-Bedroom Villas, and Three-Bedroom Villas.

Ownership is offered on a 99-year leasehold basis, structured as three renewable 33-year terms. Buyers receive a Zanzibar title deed and leasehold title, and the leasehold can be transferred in the event of resale.

Yes. Foreign buyers are eligible to purchase property in their personal name through approved developments in Zanzibar. Anantara Zanzibar Resort & Residences is structured through the ZIPA-approved investment framework.

Buyers should review the ownership structure, payment plan, rental program, personal usage allowance, taxation, resale terms, project timeline, and investor protection measures before completing a purchase. The project is offered with a structured payment plan, ZIPA approval, leasehold title, and professional rental management under Anantara.

Buyer funds are protected through a structured payment process and an escrow account with CRDB Bank in Zanzibar. The escrow account is managed by an independent consultancy firm, and funds are released based on actual construction progress. The project is also approved and supervised under ZIPA, the Zanzibar Investment Promotion Authority.

ZIPA, the Zanzibar Investment Promotion Authority, is the government body that approves and oversees foreign investment projects in Zanzibar. Buying through a ZIPA-approved developer helps ensure that the investment is legally structured and protected under the approved framework.

The standard payment plan is structured as follows: 5% upon booking, 15% upon contract signing, 59.5% during construction until handover, and 20.5% upon completion and handover. Alternative financing options may also be available depending on the selected unit and payment structure.

Yes. Most units are part of a professionally managed rental pool operated by Anantara. When the unit is not being used by the owner, it is placed into the rental program to generate rental income.

Units are grouped by category, such as Lagoon Suites, One-Bedroom Villas, and other similar unit types. Rental income and operating expenses are pooled within each category, and net income is distributed among owners in that category. This creates a fair and professionally managed income structure.

Owners are entitled to 15 days of personal use per year. During these dates, the unit will not be part of the rental pool and will not generate rental income for those specific days.

Yes. Owners may assign their usage rights to a family member or third party, provided it is not for commercial use.

Projected returns vary by unit type and are based on conservative assumptions for occupancy, nightly rates, and operating expenses. The expected ROI range is approximately 15% to 23%, depending on the unit type and overall performance. These are projections and not guaranteed returns.

The project is developed as a real estate and hospitality investment, and returns depend on market performance, occupancy, nightly rates, and operating expenses. While returns are not guaranteed, the project benefits from Zanzibar's growing tourism market, limited branded luxury supply, and professional management by Anantara.

The pricing structure is designed to be inclusive of the main purchase and registration-related costs. Applicable fees such as stamp duty, condominium board fees, VAT, and ZIPA-related charges are included in the pricing structure.

Yes. Rental income is subject to local withholding tax in Zanzibar. The rate is generally 10% for residents and 15% for non-residents. These costs are factored into the operating expenses, with owners receiving their share of net rental income.

The resort is expected to open by Q4 2027. The contract allows for a possible delay period of up to six months, although the project is planned to progress toward the stated opening timeline.

The contract allows for a maximum delay period of six months. The project is already under construction, and progress is monitored through staged development updates.

Construction has commenced and is currently progressing through excavation and structural works. Key areas, including lagoon suite structures, villa areas, reception, and supporting facilities, are moving forward as part of the development program.

Yes. Owners may resell their unit, subject to the terms of the purchase agreement and rental program. Infinity Developments may also assist with the resale process where required.

Residency permits are issued after full payment has been completed and the title deed is registered in the owner's name.

Yes. Rental income is paid in USD on a quarterly basis and can be transferred to the owner's preferred bank account worldwide.

The resort is planned to include luxury accommodation, multiple dining venues, a beach club, Anantara Spa, wellness facilities, gym, water sports, kids' and teens' clubs, outdoor cinema, business facilities, and other leisure experiences.

The 15-day personal usage allowance applies only to Anantara Zanzibar Resort & Residences and cannot be exchanged for stays at other Anantara properties. However, owners may separately join the GHA DISCOVERY program for benefits across participating hotels worldwide.

The project is developed to meet Anantara's brand standards, with materials, finishes, and quality subject to brand approval. Any issues identified during delivery will be addressed to ensure the completed product meets the required standards.
