In August 2007, IFA Hotels & Resorts entered a joint venture partnership with Indian Ocean Resorts Ltd to develop a luxurious five-star hotel, serviced residences and ultra-luxurious facilities and amenities including a marina on the 480-acre (1,942,491 square-metre) island of Ste Anne in the idyllic Seychelles.

Entitled ‘Zilwa’ which means ‘islander’ in the local Creole language, the development’s residential mix will include premium beach-front ocean villas, secluded hillside villas, luxury marina apartments, exquisite penthouses and a private residence club, all overlooking the Indian Ocean.

Zilwa is the epicentre of the Ste Anne Marine National Park and will offer buyers and visitors alike a combination of tranquil island living, security, privacy and understated style wedded to world-class services in a paradisal atmosphere.
