Emerald Zanzibar Resort & Spa, Zanzibar

Designed by DeLoguArchitecture, an international architectural firm based in Rome, Emerald Zanzibar Resort & Spa, with its variety of environments and 250 suites mostly overlooking the sea, provides the ideal stage for the various earthy effects of the complete Atlas Concorde product system, giving each guest a unique sensory experience while offering the designer the technical benefits of an extremely high-performance, durable and easy-to-maintain material.

“Emerald Resorts & Spas are located in places that are able to surprise and excite. Zanzibar is a one-of-a-kind destination, as unique as each of our resorts is,” explained Ermenegildo Scarapicchia, CEO of The Emerald Collection. “Every sensory experience – from the food to the architecture of the spaces – is designed to generate well-being, and imagined by combining the suggestions of the very rich local culture with the insights of architects and artists of food and hospitality from around the world.

Atlas Concorde porcelain tiles play a leading role in the indoor and outdoor design of the new Emerald Zanzibar Resort & Spa,  pathways and broad outdoor spaces shine thanks to the special treatment of the natural stone used in the Blockcollection, which has a distinct material strength perfect for shining in the sunlight. For the areas around the pools the choice fell on the Klif and Marvel Stone collections, also used in some areas of the interior, exploiting their non-slip surfaces and resistance, along with the beauty of their respective interpretations of stone: Klif with its shades of gray and textured surface and Marvel Stone with its look replicating the eternal elegance of marble.
