Why Are the Anambas “The Next Maldives”?

Many eco-travelers and investors increasingly refer to Anambas as the “next Maldives,” and for good reason. This Indonesian archipelago offers pristine beaches, incredible marine biodiversity, and a convenient location near major travel hubs. Better still, the islands experience fewer climate and seismic risks than other high-end tropical destinations. For professional resort developers, Anambas presents a unique chance to invest in a market poised for substantial returns and a secure, sustainable future.

Asset Security

One of the most compelling advantages of Anambas over the Maldives, Seychelles, Fiji, Palawan, and the Caribbean is its exceptional asset security. Rising sea levels, major storms, and seismic events pose minimal threats here. The region’s history shows no significant cyclones, monsoons, tornadoes, or volcanic activity. Consequently, these islands offer a rare stability. Additionally, leasehold titles often exceed 99 years, ensuring a long-term investment horizon that appeals to resort developers seeking lasting benefits.

Superior Operating Profits

Anambas stands out with its potential for high operational profits. Resort owners can control supply chains by adopting a “paddock to plate” approach, thus cutting costs and boosting sustainability. Moreover, construction and development costs remain relatively low, and ongoing landholding fees rank among the lowest globally. Labor expenses are also minimal, allowing resorts to deliver top-tier service without the hefty costs associated with other luxury destinations.

Superior Capital Growth

The islands lie on the brink of significant capital growth. As global brands discover the area and recognize its eco-tourism potential, property values will likely rise. Because current land prices fall below USD 10 per square meter, a lucrative window exists to buy, rezone, and then sell or subdivide. By entering the market early, developers can tap into this wave of appreciation and secure a strong return on investment.

Superior Guest Experiences

The Anambas Islands also deliver an unforgettable guest experience. Travelers can reach them in less than 90 minutes from a major international airport with over 20 daily flights, making access both simple and swift. Many resorts sit within designated park or reserve areas, ensuring a pristine and protected setting. In addition, there is potential for on-site immigration services and direct international flights—pending approval—directly to resort doorsteps. Positioned in the heart of the Coral Triangle, Anambas boasts some of the world’s richest marine biodiversity, offering guests a one-of-a-kind adventure.
