Diamonds Star of the East
History & Story
This project was conceived with the desire to create an ideal space to escape from everyday life. The colours of the spices of Zanzibar have inspired the architect, Dr. Germano Aghemo, who has used them in decorating the Villas. As a result of the cooperation between the landscape designer, Dr. Roberto Doria and the architect Dr. Germano Aghemo, each Villa blends beautifully with the surrounding gardens.
Main Strengths, Special Touch
An oasis of tranquillity, privacy and relaxation. Eleven private villas featuring a pool, equipped terrace and a luxurious tropical garden reward with breathtaking views over the Indian Ocean and the famous Zanzibar sunset.Each villa bears the name of one of the most precious gems in the world, harmonising perfectly with the modern African architecture. A personal assistant will be at your disposal 24 hours a day to ensure that all your requirements are fulfilled, you can also enjoy an international mini bar replenished daily and other exclusive services. A private beach and a top quality all inclusive package complete the offering of Zanzibar’s star resort, our Diamonds Star of the East!
