An ideal retreat for relaxing and taking in the beauty of Zanzibar’s northern beaches
Set on Zanzibar Island’s beautiful northern tip, Diamonds Star of the East is a member of Small Luxury Hotels of the World. An oasis of tranquillity awaits guests as they arrive in this village-style collection of luxury one and two-bedroom villas.
The 11 thatched villas are all named after precious gems and set amidst flower-filled tropical gardens. Each property includes its own secluded plunge pool, terrace, jacuzzi bath and personal butler. The rooms are spacious and well-appointed with canopied, four-poster beds and en-suite bathrooms all designed in stylish, contemporary African architecture. The Ocean Blue Restaurant serves fine-dining à la carte dishes against the stunning backdrop of panoramic views of the gardens and Indian Ocean.
Guests can immerse themselves in the tranquillity of their surroundings with a pampering session in the Mvua African Rain Spa or sun-bathing on the beach lounges. The pool provides a refreshing dip and, when you want a little more adventure, guests can take a boat out to the enchanting coral reefs and snorkel among the marine life.
