About COCO Zanzibar

Own a piece of Zanzibar

Our story

Zanzibar is one of the Indian Ocean’s most sought-after destinations, and good places to stay on the island are in short supply. COCO Zanzibar builds villas for people who see the opportunity: owners who want a holiday home that pays for itself, and investors who want a tangible asset in a place travellers keep coming back to.

We design, build and sell every villa ourselves, so you deal directly with the developer from the first conversation to the day you receive the keys.

Why COCO

Built for rental: Layouts, finishes and outdoor spaces designed around what holiday guests book and review well.
Direct from the developer: No agents in between, no inflated margins.
A destination that keeps growing: Year-round sun, white-sand beaches and rising international interest. [Add a verified tourism statistic.]
Clear terms: Transparent pricing and straightforward contracts, from reservation to handover.
Made for international owners: You can own from anywhere. We help you manage it from a distance. [Specify the services.]

Two ways to own

Your villa, your escape
Keep the keys for yourself. Spend weeks in the sun, then let the villa work for you while you are away.

Your villa, your investment
Let it out to holiday guests all year and earn from the island’s tourism demand. [Optional: add a professional management and rental programme.]

How it works

Choose your villa: Browse the villas and pick the one that fits your plan.
Reserve it: Secure your villa with a reservation agreement.
We build and hand over: Follow progress and receive your villa ready to enjoy or to rent out.
Enjoy or earn: Stay in it yourself, rent it out, or do both.

Find your place in the sun

Whether you dream of a private getaway or a villa that earns while you are away, we will help you find the right one. Tell us your plan, and we will match you with a villa that fits it.
