Once a crossroads of trade and culture, Zanzibar’s Stone Town—dating back to the 14th century—remains a UNESCO World Heritage site, preserving its rich blend of African, Arab, and European influences. The island's strategic location between East Africa and the Indian Ocean makes it an attractive choice for global investors. Reflecting this appeal, major hotel brands are establishing a presence on the island. Anantara has announced the development of the Anantara Zanzibar Resort, a 181-key property featuring luxury suites and villas, scheduled to open in 2027. Similarly, Four Seasons is planning a project in Pongwe, further cementing Zanzibar's status as a burgeoning luxury destination.
