4 Seasons has simply introduced its latest challenge, however there’s no agency timeline but on the opening.
Fundamentals of the brand new 4 Seasons Zanzibar
Plans have been introduced for the brand new 4 Seasons Resort Zanzibar, which will likely be a beachfront property in Tanzania. That is meant both as a vacation spot for a standalone trip, or as a complement to a safari, which Tanzania is understood for.
4 Seasons is opening this property in partnership with world funding agency Albwardy Funding. Albwardy Funding is already concerned in a number of 4 Seasons properties, together with in Buenos Aires, Hoi An, Johannesburg, Serengeti, Seychelles, and Desroches Island (that’s fairly the gathering of inns).
The 4 Seasons Zanzibar will likely be a 126-acre beachfront property with 60 non-public villas, every that includes one to a few bedrooms. Lodging will function inside design by MOMA and eco.id, with every villa having views of the Indian Ocean.
4 Seasons Zanzibar will function 5 eating retailers, together with a signature seafood restaurant, a Mediterranean all-day eating restaurant, a levantine grill, a poolside bar and grill, and a foyer lounge and bar. Different facilities will embrace a spa and health club, a youngsters membership, and assembly and occasion area.
Friends will be capable of plan a mixed go to to the 4 Seasons Safari Lodge Serengeti and 4 Seasons Tanzania, with a brief flight between the 2 properties.

Zanzibar’s present luxurious lodge scene
At present Zanzibar doesn’t have all that many luxurious properties, at the least by worldwide requirements. Most likely probably the most well-known is the 67-room Park Hyatt Zanzibar, which is a good choice for incomes and redeeming factors. Whereas I haven’t been there, primarily based on what I’ve heard from individuals who have, it’s not fairly as much as the same old Park Hyatt commonplace.
It’s clear the 4 Seasons will even have a really totally different vibe than the Park Hyatt. The Park Hyatt is beachfront however is situated proper within the metropolis, so it has a busy seashore, and doesn’t precisely have a resort vibe, with all rooms being in giant buildings. In the meantime the 4 Seasons will likely be an enormous, secluded property, with all-villa lodging.
Backside line
A brand new 4 Seasons property has been introduced for Zanzibar, Tanzania. This will likely be a 60-villa beachfront property, and will set the brand new commonplace for luxurious in Zanzibar. Now, admittedly lots of people will likely be hesitant to trip in Tanzania, however I nonetheless determine it’s value protecting new properties which might be within the pipeline, no matter my private beliefs in regards to the vacation spot.
