Anantara announces sustainable waterfront resort in Zanzibar
Anantara Hotels, Resorts & Spas has announced the development of Anantara Zanzibar Resort, expected to open in 2020 as part of the Zanzibar Amber Resort mixed-use lifestyle community.
Occupying in excess of 1,000 hectares of prime Indian Ocean coastline in the north east of Zanzibar, the luxury waterfront resort will feature 100 guest rooms, alongside 50 one- and two-bedroom pool villas.
Leisure facilities will include a luxury spa and wellness centre, a gym, a kid’s club and a teen’s club, in addition to three restaurants and bars. There are also plans to introduce marine life and coral to restore and re-create a reef ecosystem.
The owning company, Pennyroyal (Gibraltar) Limited, is working in close collaboration with local stakeholders, including the government and the ministry of environment, to plan a self-sufficient and sustainably designed community with energy plants, agriculture, aquaculture and potentially an airfield in the later stages of the project.
“Anantara Zanzibar Resort will be the first property in the region to showcase Anantara’s authentic luxury and personalised hospitality. Offering a unique addition to Anantara’s portfolio, the resort’s discerning guests will benefit greatly from the project’s integrated lifestyle facilities,” said Dillip Rajakarier, CEO of Minor Hotels, parent company of Anantara.
