Minor Hotels, a prominent figure in the global hospitality sector with a portfolio of over 540 hotels spread across 56 countries, spanning regions from Asia Pacific to the Americas, has unveiled plans for a new Anantara resort in Zanzibar, Tanzania. Nestled on the northern coast of Zanzibar Island, the Anantara Zanzibar Resort, featuring 181 keys, is poised to open its doors in 2027.
The resort will showcase 37 lavish suites, a presidential villa, and 73 one- and two-bedroom sea view villas, each complete with a private pool. Moreover, the property will present 38 one-bedroom apartments, 19 two-bedroom apartments, eight three-bedroom penthouse apartments, and five penthouses.
Designed to blend signature Anantara luxury with local styles and materials, the accommodations and public spaces will feature contemporary décor and top-notch amenities. With a focus on tranquility, the resort will incorporate various water features, including private pools, lagoon access, and views.
Gastronomic experiences will take center stage, with six restaurants and bars offering diverse culinary delights, from all-day dining to specialty beach grills and themed tikki bars.
An array of premium amenities will cater to guests’ leisure and relaxation needs, including an Anantara Spa, kids’ and teens’ clubs, fitness facilities, water sports club, lagoon pool, and library. Meeting and event spaces, an executive lounge, and a business center will also be available.
Owned by Dubai-based Infinity Group, the Anantara Zanzibar Resort is part of the company’s extensive Africa portfolio, reflecting their expertise in property development, asset management, and retail, and their commitment to long-term investment in the hospitality sector.
Dillip Rajakarier, CEO of Minor Hotels and Group CEO of parent company Minor International, commented, “We are delighted to add Anantara Zanzibar Resort to our pipeline of luxury properties under development in Africa, along with the recently announced Anantara Kafue River Tented Camp in Zambia. We look forward to these new properties joining our Anantara portfolio on the continent in Mozambique, Zambia and Tunisia. Working in collaboration with Infinity Group, we believe this is an excellent opportunity to grow our hospitality footprint in Zanzibar, which is long recognised as Tanzania’s oceanside destination of choice.”
Samuel Saba, Chairman of Infinity Group, and CEO of Infinity Developments said, “Infinity Developments is proud to be working with Minor Hotels, and the Anantara Brand. The Anantara Zanzibar Resort will redefine the standard of luxury hospitality in Zanzibar. We are confident that the synergy between the Minor and Infinity teams will bring about a distinctive and enhanced experience for all who visit this spectacular island from 2027, and many years to come.”
