Sun Siyam Maldives
A BUSINESSMAN who quit the UK to live abroad during Covid now runs a £46 million penthouse paradise on an island dubbed the "new Maldives".It has long been popular with safari-loving Brits who stop off for a week in the sun after enjoying the wildlife in the Serengeti or relax after climbing Mount Kilimanjaro, Africa’s tallest peak. It is also a haven for kite surfers.
“It has been made possible by the huge structural improvements which have happened on the island in the last five years. “They are still here enjoying the gorgeous white sands and the tropical paradise but there is a whole new class of traveller who is coming to the island expecting the very best luxury accommodation and Shivo Towers has been built for them.”Ashby, who lives on the island, said: “The development embodies Italian contemporary design while taking inspiration from the natural world and the surrounding landscape of Zanzibar.
The entire facade is made out of a German glass and high tech composite materials such as Krion for the balcony’s leading edges - to prepare the building for the island’s sun, sand, salt and rain adventures which can take such a toll on poorly prepared buildings.Ashby said: “I am tired of seeing the same crumbling black fungus effect across the facades of developments around the island, so we are doing everything we can to protect and ensure that it keeps its luxury appearance.
