Why Are the Anambas “the Next Maldives”?
Many eco-travelers and investors now call Anambas the “next Maldives.” This Indonesian archipelago features a pristine environment, abundant marine life, and a convenient location. Moreover, it faces fewer climate and seismic risks than other tropical hotspots. For professional resort developers, Anambas represents a rare chance to invest in a flourishing market that promises both solid returns and long-term sustainability.
Asset Security
One of Anambas’ greatest advantages lies in its strong asset security. Climate change poses minimal threats here, especially compared to destinations like the Maldives, Seychelles, Fiji, Palawan, and the Caribbean. Additionally, the region has no record of major storms or monsoons. It also remains free from significant seismic or volcanic activity. This stability makes Anambas a reliable choice for long-term investment. Even better, leasehold titles often exceed 99 years, which ensures lasting property rights for developers.
Superior Operating Profits
The Anambas region offers outstanding opportunities for vertical integration—such as “paddock to plate”—that reduce supply costs and boost sustainability. Development and construction remain relatively inexpensive, while landholding fees rank among the lowest worldwide. Furthermore, labor costs are modest, allowing resorts to deliver top-tier service without the excessive expenses found in other luxury destinations.
Superior Capital Growth
Investors can expect significant capital growth in Anambas. As the area draws more global attention, new resort brands will drive up property values. Current land prices sit below USD 10 per square meter, making now an ideal time for early entry. This combination of affordability and growing demand opens the door for ventures such as buying, rezoning, and subdividing land. Consequently, forward-thinking developers stand to reap considerable returns.
Superior Guest Experiences
In Anambas, guests encounter unmatched beauty and convenient travel options. The islands lie less than 90 minutes from a major international airport offering over 20 flights per day. Many potential development sites also sit within gazetted parks or reserve areas, ensuring they stay pristine and protected. Moreover, on-site immigration services and direct international flights may soon become a reality, subject to approvals. Nestled in the heart of the Coral Triangle, Anambas showcases world-class marine biodiversity, giving visitors a memorable and distinctive experience.
