How to own a home on Zanzibar

Apartment Zara sits inside Fumba Town, Zanzibar's first fully integrated town and a sustainable new urban development. The same developer sells freehold-style homes to international buyers, from studios to beachfront villas.

Why Zanzibar

Why people buy here

Fumba Town on Zanzibar's west coast and Paje on the east coast are part of CPS Africa's sustainable town-building programme, creating thoughtfully planned communities designed for modern island living. The homes are built with engineered timber, combining contemporary design with a more sustainable approach to development.

Ownership for foreigners

Homes are sold with a registered title and a government-approved right of occupancy, so international buyers can own in their own name.

Built sustainably

Engineered timber construction, passive sun-shading and cross-ventilation keep the homes cool and the energy demand low.

A finished town, not a plot

Schools, clinics, shops, restaurants, a marina and beaches are part of the masterplan, the community already lives there.

Rental income

Zanzibar tourism keeps growing, and managed letting programmes make holiday and long-stay rental straightforward.
