RESORT RESIDENCES AT THE

Edge of the Sea

COASTAL LIVING WITH SOUL

Each day, as the tide rises and recedes, a moment of magic unfolds in Nungwi: glistening sandbanks are revealed, only to disappear with the sea's swell. Offering a front-row seat to this fleeting spectacle of beauty are 30 villas, each a marriage of modern architecture and local design. Ownership comes with opportunity, both financially and personally, from passive rental income to elusive inner stillness. Zanzibar is beginning a new chapter, and this is your moment to be part of the story.
