Love at First Sight

Set on the gorgeous Indian Ocean island of Zanzibar, Diamonds Star of The East is a luxurious all-inclusive resort that takes full advantage of its lush tropical setting. The hotel is a short walk from a private beach with beautiful white sand and good swimming, and it's surrounded by carefully-tended gardens that include a pool. The buildings are constructed in a creative combination of African and contemporary architecture that blend in harmoniously with the idyllic surroundings. The resort is located towards the northwestern tip of Zanzibar, just over an hour's drive from the island's international airport.

Romance

Diamonds Star of the East is an ideal destination for that special romantic holiday and just to make sure that your time there is completely relaxing there's a butler on call 24 hours a day. The resort offers a special Romantic Experience package and this includes dinner on the beach, a sunset boat trip, a one hour couple's massage and breakfast served in your room.

Your Stay

The resort's 11 villas have a tasteful mixture of chic contemporary furnishings and decor and traditional Zanzibari styling and artefacts. All have their own private plunge pools and terraces, and some come with hydromassage jacuzzi baths. Standard amenities include air conditioning, flatscreen TVs with satellite channels and free wifi. Villas are also equipped with minibars, tea and coffee making facilities and complimentary toiletries.

What to Do

The Mvua African Rain Spa offers a range of treatments based on traditional African, Asian and European therapies and has Turkish and hydrotherapy baths. A range of massages are available and there's a special massage pavilion overlooking the Indian Ocean. There's a full range of water sports to enjoy including sailing, canoeing and windsurfing, and the dive centre can cater for everyone from beginners to experienced divers. Zanzibar Town is a one-hour drive from the resort and you'll want to visit the Stone Town district, a World Heritage site with busy markets, narrow, picturesque alleyways and traditional houses. You can also take a trip to the Jozani Natural Forest Reserve, one of the last places to see the charming red colubus monkey in its natural habitat.

The resort's Ocean Blue Restaurant serves a Zanzibari and international a la carte menu and features excellent views of the Indian Ocean, while the Tiara Lounge serves canapés and snacks as well as cocktails and other beverages.
