1. Anantara Zanzibar Resort & Residences

   Nungwi, north coast · Infinity Developments (Infinity Group, Dubai); operated by Minor Hotels · updated 2026-06-04

   Anantara Zanzibar Resort & Residences is an Infinity Developments project on the north coast, signed with Minor Hotels on 5 March 2024 as a 181-key new build of suites, pool villas, apartments and penthouses opening in 2027 (Minor Hotels release). The developer puts gross development value above $150m and markets the residences without publishing prices; its construction page records project commencement on 1 April 2026 and a June 2026 post says milestones are on schedule. Key counts conflict across sources: 181 per Minor Hotels, 110 hotel rooms plus 94 residences for sale per The Citizen (5 Sep 2024), and 229 on Anantara's own site.

2. Sandbank Villas

   Nungwi, north coast · Johari Developers · updated 2026-10-31

   Sandbank Villas is a Johari Developers beachfront villa project at Nungwi, launched in February 2024 as 20 three-bedroom villas and since expanded with 12 two-bedroom Oceanview Villas, a five-bedroom Presidential Villa and a planned 30-villa Zubea resort (developer releases, 19 Feb 2024 and 1 Jul 2025); the project site now says 36 villas. The developer's project page lists it as under construction and opening December 2025 with Phase 1 fully reserved, but its construction gallery, updated through February 2026, describes the model villa approaching completion and foundation works in progress, citing material delays at Zanzibar port. No handover has been announced. Rentals are contracted to Hard Launch Hospitality.
