Berlusconi in Malindi to Inspect Billionaire Resort
The Sh500 million Billionaire Resort will be completed by end of next month.
Former Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi arrived in Malindi on Thursday for a week-long visit to inspect the ongoing construction of the Sh500 million Billionaire Resort near the Malindi marine park.
Berlusconi who is accompanied by former Formula One billionaire Flavio Briatore and eight others is visiting the coastal town for the second time in less than two months, and it is believed the former PM is keen on investing in the area.
During his stay, Berlusconi is expected to inspect the construction of the exclusive resort that is being built by Briatore at the Casuarina area near the marine park in Malindi.
The Billionaire Resort, which will be completed by the end of next month, will have 26 state-of-the-art apartments, a disco, a lounge, and a restaurant that will cater to world billionaires and personalities.
“The resort will have state-of-the-art equipment for leisure and sports to cater to celebrities such as sports persons, models, and business tycoons,” said Liana Pierino, the general manager of Briatore’s Lion Group of Companies, in an earlier interview.
The architectural design of the resort has been done by Matteo Fantoni Studio of Milan, Italy, with local architects Studio Infinity Architects.
