The Anantara Zanzibar Resort & Residences is a luxury beachfront development that fuses contemporary elegance with Zanzibar’s rich heritage. Positioned on the island’s pristine northeastern coastline, it embraces its natural surroundings while celebrating a seamless indoor-outdoor lifestyle, with panoramic ocean views, tropical landscaping, and tranquil privacy for both guests and residents.

Architecture reflects local traditions with limewashed walls, lattice screens, carved wooden doors, and coral stone paired with modern comforts for authenticity and ease. Villas and residences feature open layouts, private pools, sunken firepits, and saltwater lagoons, designed to capture cooling sea breezes and natural light.

Public spaces — including spa, restaurants, bars, and beachfront lounges — are arranged as intimate courtyards and pavilions, enriched with water features and native flora to create an atmosphere of serenity and discovery. Celebrating craftsmanship and eco-conscious design, Anantara Zanzibar is a refined coastal retreat that honors the island’s spirit while delivering world-class luxury.
