Real estate market analysis on the island

Pemba investment market

High accommodation prices combined with relatively low operating costs create very favorable conditions for hotel investments. Year-round tourism and minimal competition mean that demand significantly exceeds supply. The island is currently at an early stage of infrastructure development, similar to the phase Unguja experienced several years ago, which supports property value growth.

Property ownership vs condominium model

Can foreigners buy property in Zanzibar?

YES – By investing in Cocco Lagoon, you become the legal owner of the property. You receive a title deed in accordance with local legal regulations. Owning the property means you can freely dispose of it: keep it as an investment, sell it, or transfer it to a family member.

Thanks to the condominium model, foreign investors can purchase property in Zanzibar legally and securely. Your rights are protected by regulations based on the Condominium Act 10, 2017. Additionally, the property title is officially registered with the authorities, ensuring legal certainty and investment stability.

Cocco Lagoon therefore offers a unique opportunity to become the owner of a luxury property in one of the most picturesque locations in the world while generating high rental income.

Can foreigners buy land in Zanzibar?

NO – According to local regulations, foreigners cannot own land in Zanzibar. Instead, a legally regulated leasehold model is used, which operates on principles similar to those found in many countries around the world, including Europe.

The land on which your apartment is located is subject to a 33-year lease agreement, with the possibility of extending it for another 33 years. After completion of the project, the lease may even be extended up to 99 years. The lease agreement is based on the Condominium Act 10, 2017 and provides solid legal foundations that ensure security for investors.

This solution is completely normal and has been widely used in Europe as well. In countries such as the United Kingdom or France, land lease models have existed for many years, particularly in residential and commercial real estate. This system ensures both user rights and state control over land ownership. As a result, investors can safely benefit from real estate while complying with local regulations.

You can inherit and sell the property.

The property in Cocco Lagoon can be transferred to a third party at any time. Additionally, it can be passed on to heirs, making it a long-term investment that can benefit future generations.
