Fumba.
Planned. Proven. Long-term.
A purpose-built community on Zanzibar's southwest coast, Fumba Town is the island's clearest proof of concept for planned residential investment: 1,700+ units sold, 1,000+ delivered.
Fumba is a planned residential community in southwest Zanzibar offering managed villa and apartment ownership from approximately $85,000, with a modeled net rental yield of 11.9% based on current occupancy and pricing. It is best suited to investors prioritizing long-term ownership, community lifestyle, and lower entry price over peak tourism rental rates.
Investment character
Fumba is structured around planned community living rather than pure short-term rental yield maximization. Residents and owners benefit from on-site amenities, a managed environment, and consistent infrastructure investment from the master developer.
Compared to Paje, Fumba's nightly rates are lower ($67.5 vs $110 ADR) but the entry price is also significantly lower, resulting in a comparable net yield profile with a different risk and lifestyle balance.
