LIYONGO·KENDWA
Sixty leasehold villas within a functioning hospitality resort on Zanzibar's north coast.
Every day reveals a new story. Experiences teasing out our inner child. The island speaks, and with curiosity as our compass, we listen attentively.
Every choice honours both people and place. From spice farms to shared tables, traditions honoured with conscience - and lived with purpose.
From clean water to clean streets. What we build today, Zanzibar inherits tomorrow - community by intention, belonging by nature.
Crafted from light and shade.
Where local craftsmen still shape wood by hand, and the call to prayer drifts over Kendwa's shores, we've woven sixty barefoot sanctuaries into a living fabric - complete with lagoon pool, spa, open fire kitchen, cafe and rooftop bar.
Homes that breathe with the breeze.
Private by nature, social by intention. Simplicity as luxury, your sanctuary an investment with meaning for the seasons between.

Leasehold title with rental pool participation in professionally managed operation.
Ownership at Liyongo means participation in a managed estate. You acquire a 99 year leasehold title (structured as 33-year renewable three times under the Zanzibar Condominium Act) to a specific villa and enter the rental pool on a tiered participation structure. The project runs unified marketing and central reservations; on-site management handles operations, maintenance, and guest coordination. Personal stays are yours to book through the platform. Rental income distributes quarterly, reported transparently, with performance tied to estate-wide occupancy and your tier within the pool. The financial detail — pricing, payment structure, projected returns, fees, and furniture pack costs — sits in a separate Financial Information Pack, distributed to qualified enquirers on request. That pack includes full operational assumptions, fee disclosure, comparable market data, and scenario modelling. The proposition outlined here; the numbers delivered there.
Sixty villas with phased delivery, first handovers Q1 2028.
Liyongo is delivered in phases, each handed over as a working estate, with amenities, staffing, and rental operations in place before the next phase begins. Sales open phase by phase; payment schedules are tied to construction progress. Each phase opens for sale on completion of the preceding phase's foundations. Full payment schedule and phasing details sit in the Financial Information Pack.
