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.

Daily News reported it in June 2024 as a 54-villa, $10m Village Group project due early 2025; it was relaunched with Kerten Hospitality as The House Residence Azure Zanzibar in May 2025 with handover targeted for Q4 2026. The developer's current targets are villas in Q4 2027 and hotel opening in Q1 2028, and its pages no longer name an operator.

The developer's FAQ says construction began in November 2025 with completion targeted for Q3 2027 and 82 apartments, while its second site and 2025 press give 72 duplexes and Q2 2027. Its construction log records foundations complete in March 2026 and second-floor structure in progress in September 2026. The advertised 14 to 16% return is a developer projection.

The developer gives a construction start of Q1 2025 and a target finish of Q3 2027, and its progress page carries monthly site photos through October 2026. The REDA member listing says 115 units. No independent press coverage was found, and a 'villas sold out' claim circulating on social media does not appear on the developer's pages.

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.
