Introduction

Real estate investors look for two things: secure ownership and strong returns. At The House Residence Azure Zanzibar, both are built into a carefully designed portfolio of 93 branded villas, managed by Kerten Hospitality.

Each villa combines modern architecture with the charm of Zanzibar, while also being part of a rental program that ensures passive real estate income. With flexible entry points starting at 310,000 USD, investors can select the villa type that matches their strategy—whether focused on yield, lifestyle use, or long-term appreciation.

Payment Plan & Investor Security

Azure makes the investment process transparent and manageable through a staged payment plan:

  • 10,000 USD reservation fee (deductible from first instalment).
  • 25% on SPA signing (+5% for legal and registration costs).
  • 30% after 3 months.
  • 20% after 6 months.
  • 15% after 9 months.
  • 10% at handover.

Completion is scheduled for Q4 2026, giving investors time to plan financing while securing today’s entry prices.

Why This Portfolio Works for Investors

  1. Tailored to Market Demand
    Villas are designed for different travel profiles: couples (1BR), groups and families (2–3BR), and luxury travelers (overwater villas).
  2. Proven Hospitality Partner
    Kerten Hospitality manages operations, bringing global expertise in lifestyle hotels and branded residences.
  3. Tourism Growth as a Driver
    Zanzibar’s international arrivals grew 15.4% in 2024, with record highs in 2025. This growth translates directly into higher villa occupancy and stronger returns.
  4. Long-Term Asset Appreciation
    With limited beachfront supply and increasing global awareness, villa prices are expected to rise steadily over the next decade.

Conclusion

The House Residence Azure Zanzibar is not just a real estate project—it’s an investment platform designed to give international buyers both secure ownership and reliable income. With villa prices starting at 310,000 USD, professional management by Kerten Hospitality, and ROI projections of up to 15%, the project provides a compelling opportunity in one of the Indian Ocean’s most dynamic destinations.

From the Superior Villa Garden View to the Three Bedroom Beach Villa, each unit is more than a property—it’s a piece of Zanzibar’s future, offering investors both lifestyle value and financial performance.
