    Why Invest

    Why International Buyers Choose Zanzibar

    Your Own Indian Ocean Retreat

    From elegant suites to private villas, the residences are designed around beach, dining, wellness and concierge experiences. The resort is planned to open in late 2027; review the construction milestones and delivery terms with the developer.

    Managed Rental Potential

    For buyers who choose to rent, the developer’s illustrative model projects approximately 14%–24% annual NET ROI depending on residence type and occupancy. These are preliminary estimates, not guaranteed returns; request the full assumptions and cost breakdown.

    Time to Enjoy It Yourself

    The proposition includes 14 days of complimentary owner use per year. Confirm booking windows, blackout dates, service charges and rental-pool terms in the signed contract.

    Tax & Legal Framework

    Tax Rules Every Buyer Should Know

    A high-level overview — always consult a qualified tax advisor before structuring a purchase. We work with trusted partners across each jurisdiction.

    Foreign Buyer Ownership

    Foreign investment in Zanzibar property is generally structured through approved projects and long-term rights rather than direct freehold land ownership. Have an independent Zanzibar-qualified lawyer verify the project approvals, title, permitted use and transfer rights.

    Purchase and Running Costs

    Ask for an itemised schedule of purchase taxes, registration and legal fees, service charges, furnishing, insurance and management deductions before comparing projected returns. Confirm whether prices or distributions are denominated in euros, US dollars or another currency.

    Tax on Rental Income and Exit

    Local taxation and your home-country tax obligations may both apply to rental distributions and a future sale. Rules depend on ownership structure and residence: obtain current written advice from an independent tax professional before committing.

    Hidden Perks
