ZANZIBAR – Valor Hospitality Partners, has expanded its East African presence and expertise through branded residences and urban city hospitality management in Zanzibar.

This is in collaboration with developers CPS for Zanzibar’s pioneering mixed-use development, Fumba Town, and another branded lifestyle residence development in Paje.

Located approximately 30km outside Stone Town and 20 minutes from Zanzibar’s International Airport, Fumba Town’s facilities comprise a mix of residences that will include more than 5,000 units within a 10-year development timeframe.

Over 650 apartments have been built and are occupied. This urban city, with plans for retail, sports, office, and other lifestyle amenities, will also feature the world’s tallest timber tower, The Burj, which will boast Zanzibar’s first Canopy by Hilton brand, scheduled to open at the end of 2027.

The Burj Apartments will be the precinct’s flagship branded residence model and premier development in Fumba Town. It will offer luxurious, value-added amenities, services, and facilities.

Fumba Town is the flagship project of the first private developers in Zanzibar, CPS Africa, who now believe, after eight years of development, the time is right to bring onboard a professional hospitality-management company to manage rentals (short-term and long-term), facilities, and all property-management services.

The same services will be created at Paje, where Valor has worked with the developers to create the bespoke branded residence brand The Soul. 

The Soul features a 264-apartment development with private residences, a feature lagoon, and various other facilities and amenities. Paje is located on the East Coast of Zanzibar.

Featuring 264 apartments in one-, two-, and three-bedroom configurations, the development is almost sold out. The last few apartments are scheduled for construction completion in the coming months.

The Soul Paje branded residences programme and operations management phase are scheduled to start in September 2024, with Valor handling facilities, property management, and the management of the rental scheme for individual owners.

Soul Paje is also the precursor to its sister development by the same name, the Soul Fumba apartments, which will be completed in Fumba Town in 2027.

With a team comprising myriad international hospitality experts with vast experience, Valor is setting out to establish a base of excellence in most fast-growing hospitality regions throughout Africa.
