Minor Hotels, an international hotel owner, operator and investor with more than 640 properties in 59 countries, has announced the signing of the NH Collection Pemba Island Resort in Tanzania.
Developed in continued partnership with Infinity Developments, the owning entity behind Anantara Zanzibar Resort & Residences—an ultra-luxury project currently under construction—the new signing reinforces a shared commitment to elevating hospitality standards across the region. Scheduled to open in February 2030, the new property marks a strategic expansion of the NH Collection brand into the Zanzibar archipelago and further strengthens Minor Hotels’ growing presence across East Africa.
Located a short drive from Pemba Airport, the 145-key resort will offer convenient access from both Zanzibar and Dar es Salaam while maintaining the island’s exclusive, low-impact tourism character. NH Collection Pemba Island Resort will feature a selection of guestrooms, suites, and villas, complemented by numerous dining outlets and MICE facilities. The resort will blend modern design with the island’s natural surroundings to create a refined yet relaxed escape for leisure travellers.
Introducing the NH Collection brand to Tanzania, with our first property on Pemba Island marks a major step in our expansion footprint across the Indian Ocean, building on our trusted partnership with Infinity Developments. The island’s unspoiled beauty and growing appeal among experience-led travellers make it an ideal location for the NH Collection brand.
Amir Golbarg, Chief Operations Officer, Minor Hotels Middle East & Africa
Following the success of our collaboration on Anantara Zanzibar, we are delighted to partner once again with Minor Hotels to bring the NH Collection brand to Pemba Island. This development combines sustainable design with strong brand positioning, further enhancing the appeal of Zanzibar as a world-class destination.
Mr. Samuel Saba, Founder of Infinity Developments
The signing of NH Collection Pemba Island Resort highlights Minor Hotels’ commitment to expanding its portfolio across Africa’s high-potential markets and its confidence in Tanzania’s thriving tourism sector.
