Our Role
The DWC hospitality team were engaged to develop a luxury hotel, spa and beach resort on this amazing unspoiled peninsula in eastern Zanzibar. The present use of the land is low grade grazing farmland and native scrubland. DWC’s role was to engage with the Government and local Municipal Council to achieve a change of use application for the land to Luxury Hotel and Resort thereby establishing a tangible asset value for STRE.
Our approach was to fully understand the environmental issues of any proposed development on this site and ensure that any development would have minimum environmental impact. The entire development is designed to exacting international standards using sustainable materials, construction methods and management of the resort to achieve a Platinum LEED accreditation.
The natural features of the of the site with it’s unspoiled beach and gently sloping wooded hinterland provides the perfect backdrop to support our ambition to create a world-class destination on the Island.
