DIAMONDS STAR OF THE EAST

By Chris Boyle

A magnificent private sanctuary of 11 exclusive villas, each with its own plunge pool, a tastefully furnished terrace, a covered Makuti patio and a large tropical garden to enjoy exclusive privacy and the supreme view over the Indian Ocean and the famous Zanzibar sunset.

The villas are named after 11 of the most precious gems in the world to match the contemporary African-style architecture. Personal butler service, a private beach and unrivaled all-inclusive services accommodate the most discerning traveler with ultimate comfort, privacy and luxury.

Clients can choose to dine at the exclusive à la carte Ocean Blue Restaurant, visit one of the restaurants at Diamonds La Gemma dell’Est or enjoy private breakfast, lunch and dinner directly in the room or on the private terrace outside the villa. During the day, finger food, snacks and refreshing drinks are offered around the pool at the Tiara Lounge with cocktails and canapés served at sunset for romantic aperitifs while you watch the sun dive into the Indian Ocean.

Literally everything and anything you could dream of is catered to at the very highest level of all-inclusive services including access to all facilities of Diamonds La Gemma dell’Est resort.
