ZANZIBAR: DUBAI-BASED ALEPH HOSPITALITY SIGNS AGREEMENT TO MANAGE BOUTIQUE RESORTS

Aleph Hospitality a Dubai-based hotel management company has signed a management agreement to operate two boutique resorts — the Moja Tuu and Hakuna Majiwe — in Zanzibar.

Scheduled to take effect in October, the contracts mark Aleph Hospitality’s continued expansion on the African continent, with its portfolio now stretching across five countries.

Bani Haddad, founder and managing director of Aleph Hospitality, while speaking at the African Hotel Investment Forum (AHIF), stated: “Our entry into the Tanzanian market solidifies the company’s already-rapid African expansion, coming just days after the signing of an agreement for the first Marriott International property in Kisumu, Kenya.

“In addition to this growth of our branded hotel portfolio, we are thrilled to be adding two more independent hotels to our fold and providing our in-depth knowledge of international best practices and operating standards to unlock the true potential of these unique beachfront properties. We have proven highly successful at turning around existing operations and look forward to driving maximum returns for the hotels’ owner.”

While Moja Tuu is a 35-key upper upscale beach resort, including 10 luxury beachfront villas, each with a private infinity pool; the Hakuna Majiwe in Paje is a mid-scale 21-room hideaway, including 16 beach rooms and five garden rooms. It is ideally positioned for international leisure travellers, including honeymooners and groups of family and friends. The secluded resort, surrounded by tropical forest, features three restaurants, private beach and swimming pool.
