Naomi Campbell spends plenty of time in bustling cities like New York and London. But when she wants to relax, she heads to her seaside villa in Malindi, Kenya. The actress and model gave the folks at Architectural Digest a tour of her home in the town she’s enjoyed escaping to since the 1990s.
Campbell told AD that she loves the open-air feel of the home which features beautiful views, plenty of space to entertain guests and four pools. While we definitely hope she’ll make an appearance at the Met Gala this year, we’ve got our money on her unplugging here if she doesn’t.

Let’s take a peek inside Naomi Campbell’s Kenyan crib.
Making a Home in Malindi
Naomi Campbell has loved coming to Kenya since the 1990s and enjoys the relaxing vibe. She says loves taking in the ocean and the greenery around her while reading or doing yoga.
Living Room
One of the focal points of the home is the living room. Campbell says she uses this space, which is furnished with locally made pieces, to share conversations with friends and family.
Plenty of Places to Swim
The living room seating area overlooks one of four pools on the property, a feature Campbell says is much needed when the temperature heats up.
Beautiful Bedroom
Campbell calls this bedroom one of her favorites because of the wood floor and beams that she says are very grounding. Because she prefers falling asleep to fresh air over air conditioning (which she says causes wrinkles), the supermodel keeps a mosquito net around the bed.
Quiet Luxury
Although every bedroom has been designed for ultimate relaxation, each has a different vibe.
Local Art All Around
Every room in Campbell’s home features stunning works of art created by local Kenyan artists.
It’s All in the Details
In addition to the furniture and the wall art, the home has lots of interesting doorways all around.
An Airy Feel
You don’t have to choose between being inside and outside here. This seating area lets in plenty of natural light and a perfect view of another pool.
Lounge
Above the main level of the home is an open lounge area intentionally decorated with lots of pockets of seating to encourage people to gather for more intimate conversation.
Moroccan Decor
Campbell says she purchased a lot of the furniture you see around the home during trips to Cairo and Marrakech.
A Place to Play
One of the areas of the lounge is reserved for gaming. We bet there are some serious card games going down here.
Lush Greenery
Although the temperature can get hot, the outdoor seating stays cool with the help of tents and plenty of palm trees.
The Spa
When your work takes you all over the world, you need a place to come and relax, which is why Campbell has a spa on her property that is made for relaxing.
