Supermodel and new mother Naomi Campbell has broken borders, stormed catwalks, and graced countless magazine covers throughout her incredible 35-year career. She is motivated by her career and finds delight in it, even though she has a demanding schedule.

But icons, too, require rest periods. Campbell goes to her villa in Malindi, a peaceful coastal community in Kenya, when she needs to fully disconnect. For almost 20 years, she has used her stunning home, which overlooks the Indian Ocean, as a refuge from the hectic pace of her new home in New York City and her old one in London. In this way, indoor-outdoor living is encapsulated.

The open floor plan honors relaxed luxury with its natural light and soft earth tones. Her opinion was that “It’s a very calming place.” Actually, it’s best if you don’t talk on the phone. Are you really on the hunt for a television? You prefer to relax with a good book. Uninterrupted tranquility accompanied by the hum of crickets is soothing.

Take a little swim first thing in the morning in the saltwater pool that extends out from her living room’s center. Under two pergolas adorned with voile curtains, the model can host elegant dinner parties for her guests.

That one has been in our family for twelve years or more, and it’s still going strong, she says with a pleased tone.Things can disintegrate fast here because of the wind, sea salt, and air, but it has held up so beautifully that it’s almost a piece of art, the author said.

Hanging from the ceiling are the large and glittering latika lamps from Morocco and Egypt. Campbell loves to browse for furniture all around Africa, but Cairo and Marrakech have been her most fruitful experiences.

Campbell can get high-quality woodwork without going far. “Malindi is the maker of a lot of the wood furniture in our house,” she claims. The truth is that the rear of the house actually had a workshop.
