Michamvi Beachfront Estate

Overview

This is a substantial 12.03-hectare (≈29.7-acre) beachfront estate on the Michamvi peninsula, in the southern part of Unguja Island. It enjoys a prime, uninterrupted oceanfront position on a wide white-sand beach, with 173 metres of frontage and roughly 517 metres of depth. The northern boundary is the Indian Ocean and beachfront; the southern boundary is the main road access. To the west are Italian villas and the large-scale Azure United Properties beachfront condominium development; to the east, an undeveloped private plot. The location is highly suitable for premium beachfront development — including a resort, overwater concepts, or oceanfront villas. The holding sits within a recognised tourism development area, so hotel projects are permissible in principle, subject to proper masterplanning and approvals.
