Zanzibar, Tanzania
Secret Zanzibar Hotel & Villas
A boutique hotel and serviced residences in Nungwi, on Zanzibar's northern coast.
Project Overview
The Zanzibar development combines a 30-key boutique hotel with a serviced residential compound of villas and apartments in Nungwi, on the north coast of the island. It sits within Zanzibar's transition from mid-range tourism to luxury and ultra-luxury hospitality, anchored by Four Seasons and Anantara.
The project is developed in two phases. Phase 1 comprises 52 villas of different sizes, from two to five bedrooms. Phase 2 will introduce smaller villas, apartments and studios designed for rental and lifestyle investors.
Active development is underway, with delivery in 2026 to 2027, positioning Victaura in the north-coast luxury concentration documented in our Geography of Trust Vol.5.

Location
Northern Zanzibar coast
Nungwi sits on the north coast, the segment where Four Seasons and Anantara have anchored Zanzibar's transition into the luxury tier. The position is read against the 99-year leasehold framework that governs foreign investment in Tanzania and Zanzibar.
Market in transition
Zanzibar is evolving from a mid-tier destination into a luxury and ultra-luxury hub, supported by new entrants such as Four Seasons and Anantara. Analysts project that property and hospitality values will align with Seychelles and Mauritius within the next decade.
Stable, strategic, and growing
Tanzania ranks among Africa's most politically stable economies, with steady GDP growth and rising foreign direct investment. Recent infrastructure investments, including a new international terminal, private jet airport, and highway upgrades, are directly enhancing Nungwi's accessibility and value.
