From vision to the Waterfront

The Waterfront Residence was born from a clear and heartfelt vision: to create a destination in Zanzibar where people could not only invest, but truly live, relax, and belong. We chose Nungwi — Zanzibar’s most vibrant and naturally beautiful coastal area — because it offers the perfect balance of tranquility and energy. With its turquoise waters, white-sand beaches, and year-round tourism appeal, Nungwi is just an hour’s drive from Stone Town and the international airport, yet feels like a world of its own. Set across 22 hectares of elevated cliffside land, The Waterfront was designed as a low-density, open-space community — a place where you wake up to ocean views, walk to your favorite café, enjoy a peaceful garden, shop for essentials, and live as part of a thoughtfully planned environment. To make this lifestyle accessible to more people, we introduced flexible payment plans over 24 months with 0% interest, ensuring that owning or investing in Zanzibar doesn’t have to be a distant dream. Whether you’re seeking a second home, a profitable rental property, or a secure long-term investment, The Waterfront Residence offers unmatched value and peace of mind. More than a project, it is a community — designed for spacious living, grounded in trust, and built for those who dream of more.
