Inside Naomi Campbell's Luxury Villa In Kenya | Open Door | Architectural Digest 

already a happy subbie! fabulous i cant wait for thjs issue !

I subscribed last week. Will I get my gifts?

From Kenya & totally loving this.

Something about her true she not born in our beutiiful but guy that lady loves KENYA ABSOLUTELY. BIG HUG FROM LONDON

Wow! Lady Naomi your home exudes peace, tranquility and happiness. I could see myself floating from the inside of the house to the outside as if l haven't got a care in the world. Perhaps one day l will be a guest at your home.

it dosnt cause wrinkles but it makes your wrinkles more obvious and pronounced because air cons get rid of the moisture in the room and makes your skin dry if you live in the air con 24 /7 then it will probably start to effect you like everything dose when used too much

get a humidifier for the dry air

That stuck with me too!! Hahaha

Love you Kassandra! Your yin yoga videos have helped me a lot! 😊🙏🏾✨

I swear this was THEE most important part of this video 😩😩😂😂💯💯

Kenya is beautiful, Malindi is a treasure

I just hope I'm alive to see Africa on the come up..

@@RUTHLESSambition5 you already have the dream, all that's left is to make it a reality, and I believe it you will do it.

I agree. No bragging about bringing in doors and paintings from other countries. Love This!

Local is 100 times cheaper. Plus all those fancy stores that sell furniture probably make it in world "kenyas" anyway.

That’s because they paid her millions to do so, she doesn’t do it out of the kindness of her heart. She has worn blood diamonds and dated people who have done bad things to Africa. Also, this is a hotel, not her house. She lied to AD and the public lol, and this episode was later exposed. Everything she says in this video is a lie. You can even see the non-smoking and emergency signs, and other guests in the background. I mean, she even talks about the buffet breakfast room lol - that’s there for the hotel guests! 😂

Everything Come frome africa

I live in NYC and I'd rather live in Africa any day!!! Media might make Africa look crazy but anyone with a brain and 2 eyes can see Africa cares about tradition like no other culture or continent. I love what the Italiam PM Georgia Malonie said.... "The answer isn't moving Africans out to Europe.... but remove Europeans OUT OF AFRICA!!!!!"

💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯

I’ve been seeing comments like this somewhere else, and we actually could book this villa?

@@artsyhyd yea absolutely

My sister tell me Naomi have a hotel in malindi

figures: she so fake

I would love to replicate this house in Russia, nothing bad in replicating period houses in Kenya

Yes and used local artists and craftsman too which is lovely.

@@sheet-music will the weather allow malindi experiences sunlight whole year

This design only suits in the tropics

@@ericmunene8486 nope... but you know, anyway in Greece and Spain people don't built the houses open like this. They make tiny doors and tiny windows that are always closed during the day because it's colder inside if you don't let the sun in. and you don't need ac then.

Me too😊🥰...I was like, look at my dream!😃😊

@Don Eldridge sounds like your speaking from your own shame and area of lack

It is a resort. I think she lived there at once stage, but it looks like an upmarket rental that she lets out.

@@johngablesmith4671 it’s probably a resort but it shuts down whenever she goes for vacation

@@portia4101 Maybe she did this piece as an exchange. Pretty neat if you ask me.

I love that that she lives in Africa! I want to buy a home there💯

you did NOT just say that with a straight face....

@@ShortFuseFighting I mean I think they mean the style and design. Or did you expect a rich woman to live in a hut? Rural doesn’t always mean poor

It is. And she does not own it

She's the tourism ambassador

She used to be spotted on the beaches of Malindi in the 90s with Flavio Briatore.... And she kept going back and became one with the locals. Fell in love with Kenya and Kenya fell in love with her. Eventually she bought land and built this gem. Malindi is a sleepy natural seaside village/town on the Kenyan coast away from the more touristy Mombasa, which is why Naomi is so comfortable there. No one bothers her. It's dreamy with its mix of not only African; but Italian, Arabic and Indian cultural influences . All the cultures that found themselves on those shores through the centuries. I lived in Kenya for 10 years and my brothers baby's mother is from Malindi. When we went to visit her home I remember already being an adoring fan of Naomi Campbell; my treasured collection of Vogues were those she was in the pages of, which was every Vogue lol. When I heard the stories of how she's always there in Malindi, on the beach freely or in the markets I remember stalking the beaches and markets hoping to get a glimpse of one of the most beautiful women in the world. I was 18 years old.

@@bl00dhoney I remember ppl were complaining about that but clearly she was a good choice. She’s been talking about Kenya for a long time and she has a massive international audience that most Kenyan celebs don’t have.

@@mukunimulundika5359 omg this is so beautiful

@@nancykihuga8793 asante sana Nancy. I miss Kenya so much. Nitarudi huko very soon. I assume you're Kenyan from your name lol

Anything that dries you out will cause wrinkles. Look what happens to a plant when you don’t water it...it droops, shrivels up and goes brown. To keep your skin plump and line free you need to stay hydrated, minimise sun exposure (the right amount of vitamin D is fine, don’t overdo it), keep your body lubricated from the inside by eating lots of good fats: avocado, olives, coconut oil, egg yolks, oily fish and as soon as you dry off after a shower, slather your skin in moisturiser. Having a good skin barrier will minimise water loss and stop you drying out. Dryness causes wrinkles is all you need to remember.

money.

Look at her mom, her mom still looks 40

@@lamorenaloca4013 that’s money too

Get enough sleep Cold shower Exercise at least twice a week Read a book and less screen phone tv computer any screen

That and the heat and humidity! I'm from Kenya and I much prefer the highlands to the coast due to the heat and humidity...I just can't abide it! The Rift Valley is just about the most perfect weather there is in Kenya! Especiallly the area between Nairobi and Eldoret! Nakuru area is a paradise of great weather and incredible natural beauty! I can only handle the coast for a few days at a time...! Naomi's place is definitely the kind of place one could stay a while at!! It is gorgeous!

But it is co-owned by her and rents it out for biz.

i agree with you!

wwhy wasnt Lupita chosen

@@onlyonce4543 😅😅they said she's always unreachable

@@onlyonce4543 I think we just saw why

@@onlyonce4543 Perhaps she is at a different place in her life and is busy establishing herself in her industry at the moment? Let's celebrate what both women bring to the table without attacking either.

I would like to go to Kenyan. In America people are racist. Americans think their country is the best the world. Most have never been on a plane and so narrow minded. I have been to China and it is amazing too. China is so much advance and safer than America and Americans dont even know it. It's sad. Maybe it's the poor uneducated proud Americans who keeps saying America is the best. Thats why they are jealous of the chinese because they are becoming the No.1 in the world. I hope americans can accept our country is sh*t.

Absolutely! I’d love to visit ❤️❤️

@Nobody cares it can also be the worse. It's not trolling if you have traveled the world. Theres more to education and medicine. Education and medicine is not free. And medicine is not that great if you compare other countries. Russia has the best eye surgeons, korea has the best plastic surgeons and Thailand has the best sex change surgeons. If you do plastic surgery in America you get RIP off by paying 100x the price plus you end up looking like a clown. No Americas get the best education. The best goes to foreign students who pays. Americans get the worse free state education and healthcare.

@Nobody cares and most Americans education is the worse.. they only speak 1 language and they have no idea about other culture. That's why you have no idea about other countries. You need to travel or you be brainwashed by your propaganda. Many in America thinks like people in N Korea. Isolated and know nothing about the world but think they are the best. Once u travel you he amazed what is outside of america.

@Nobody cares and u just proved her point. Ignorant trash

Where are the armed guards?

Lol yeah she’s very elegant

Welcome Kenya Siri

who's AWAKE in 2021?

because it was a resort

yes but not safe because of lots of powerty around

well her mum lives in a very modest flat in Kent... nothing luxurious, My brother knew her as he was living close to her mum. And she hardly visited her mum..

That’s what I said lol at first I thought she was just showing us her one little villa not this 10 star resort she owns lol but man now I see why she still look 21 in her 50’s or 60’s lol like damnnnnnnnnnn and she just closed the runway in New York for Michael Kors. One of the best and longest in the business. 😩✊🏿❤️🥰🙌🏿

@@who511 Um, Naomi Campbell is British (of Jamaican origin) and not American.....

At around 2:05 you can see there’s roommate numbers, so it might have been a hotel before she bought it

It is a retreat. I don't know why, but AD and Cambell avoided to mention it.

@@soph1epapakon i think because it's technically her house that also might double as a retreat for her and her friends and family

@izzyweinberg7651 a room belonged to her and she might invite there family and friends. But, check also "Lion in Sun Retreat" and you will see that it is some kind of hotel. Probably she bought it with other investors.

@@soph1epapakon ohh okay that makes a lot more sense especially when she mentioned guests staying there.

Too much metaphor

fr

"I could feel the breeze on MY skin as SHE walking through the house." YOU may want to get THAT checked!

@@Nunya190 its a joke

@@didia3608 Well duh, don't you think I know that. 🤣🤣🤣

If you remove the y and put an ‘I’ in your first time, it translates to ‘run’ in Swahili.

Stop harassing Naomi. She don’t got time for that.

Everyone too here😆

Hi Everyone, we share a name. See you there! XD

@@ANDY-ie7nh Wow you are soooo fun

It is not even her house, it is a resort

@@TaeTae-yq3ef no, it's a hotel called Lion In The Sun. Don't you see all the signs and room numbers?

Well don't be surprised how she speaks about Africa because She's Jamaican. I and many Ghanaians Have said this many times that Africans only family outside of Africa are Jamaicans. Everywhere Africans travels to, Jamaicans are their first family there if there are Jamaicans. Rastafarians have been preaching praising Africans for Decades but the insecure jealous West or Whites tagged them as crazy people and most African people believed that except few- Ghana, Senegal, Ethiopia, Gambia, Liberia, Ivory Coast who embraced them and listened to their messages through their music

Everything is local because it is much cheaper than importing. I like it much better, they are very skilled craftsmen. I lived and worked in Zanzibar, Tanzania. And yea that’s resort as someone mentioned 😂

facfs

She’s very serious about her health and her body. She knows what she’s working with and that’s why she looks so good!

Natural hair lol that's a wig hahah

@@blankslate6078 they said natural air you fool

@@blankslate6078 AIR not hair! 😅💨

So true

@@wamz9191 Wachana namimi were😂

@@wamz9191 hmmm

She was married to Italian billionaire in malindi- the owner of the billionaire resort

Its a resort called the BILLIONAIRE RESORT and RETREAT

The fact is that majority of people in malindi live under 1 dollar a day

I will admit at one point I was poorly educated when it came to Africa. It wasn’t until my early 20s that I found out, not all Africans live in mud huts. I also was shocked to find out there was white Africans along with light skin Africans. I’m glad people are getting to see Africa is such a beautiful place. Makes me happy people (especially children) won’t be as ignorant as I was.

I would LOVE to visit Kenya. LOVE.

Kenya is amazing...I luved my visit...xx

@Kalu V Should have just kept her mouth shut...

Befriend her lmao

Offer her a young girl to work at her SPA

Who is her everyone?

traffick her some adrenochrome

Good question

Ooooo I didn't pick that up but Yasss. I love that

Yes, I noticed that. Loved it.

I think she says that because they bought it as business with other investors

Lovely

A royal we

Couldn't agree more tbh

Did she really buy it? Isn’t she line an ambassador for Kenyan tourism?

The bar is VERY low. Let's not pretend she's some sort of moral icon.

@@AiguilleVoodoo she is my moral icon. I adore her.

@@BuffyNoir140 yes,she owns that place you just saw in the video. She is very wealthy;made money from her modelling career.

its almost as if everyone has a different idea of what home looks like

This doesn't look like a home, looks like a resort we have here in the Philippines. Beautiful

No, but it might be the first No Door celebrity home.

This part of a resort that has a handful of private residences. The least homey home on this channel

@@ImStuckInStockton, well that changes everything.

@dolimi jotoo Hello Luis Moreno lol

@dolimi jotoo you are right she is so used to luxury and hotel since very young, that's why now she wants more authenticity.

@dolimi jotoo it’s an actual resort and it’s not solely hers

🤣🤣🤣

@@eveningstar8581 Is this resort listed anywhere online?

Tried to understand the "we used to" but 🤷‍♂️

maybe she means before covid???

@@esthermwangi9458 Used to as in before covid. Although that home is perfect for social distancing with the open air concept. 🤣

Absolutely beautiful.

@@maramzaim3949 That's what I thought, too

If you are rich you are at home anywhere.

i hope she shares her money with the poor folks there. it is a third world country. :(

@@mf5531 yeah but Kenya is actually more developed than most African countries , it’s economy is big and is the richest/ most developed in east and central Africa

As a Kenyan. We ain't poor... Yes there are challenges but we ain't all poor, we're just like any other countries where some people have and others lack.

@@imani3975 that is wonderful. however, i still hope she shares her money with Kenya folks!

All resorts and home in Kenyan coast have this design. It's local design especially the curving

@@amyskitchen_jikoni it is stunning

Brilliant, same.

She doesn't own the house or land so she can't transplant a LA home. This is a residence on a resort leased to her from an ex boyfriend, and she is the Kenyan tourist ambassador

@@amyskitchen_jikoni exactly!

It's Just not fair ..

Hi Sarah you are too welcome, for your case I think you don't need Naomi just pay a visit to kenya there is much to learn and enjoy finally you we ever goes with smile at moha from Kenya near naomy Hotel welcome abundantly? 😊!!!

No...she just has enough money to maintain a great health regimen and beauty treatments.💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰

@@regworld1167 it's fair it's called melanin

+ BLACK DONT CRACK

And she will beat you over the head if you challenge her! 🤣

Beautiful!

She's earned this Paradise

I live in North Carolina, USA and I'm building my home here in South Africa; but I've been in the USA for 22 years. I just uploaded my guest house. Funny part is my daughter says you sound more African now lol, I hope you come back still able to speak English LOL! Anyways! I love her confidence and deep voice.

💯💜

its literally a hotel she owns, its not her house

Her room alone is bigger than any of the apartments I’ve lived in 🤣🤣

@@lavenderbby It is actually her house. Not a hotel. Her home is one of several within a luxury resort owned by a friend of hers. You can get the facts about here: www.architecturaldigest.com/story/tour-naomi-campbells-sprawling-kenyan-escape

@@scribe712 thnx for the link dude. you would think they would put it in the info box.

@@scribe712 Every single space shown in the video are part of the hotel

Because it's not her house. It's a resort she lived in for few weeks because Kenyan government invited her.

As a person who lives in North America, I want either true nature and interesting people here. Take me away, take me to a country that I will never be able to go.

👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

This not "African culture". It's a luxury property in an Italian enclave owned by a British top-model with a Jamaican background. For sure the villa is built in a beautiful style reminiscent of traditional architecture of the Eastern African Spice Route localities. But I would not talk of "African culture".

@@gianmarcorusso1713 It certainly draws from a mix of cultures including, and predominantly, African cultures. The fact that foreign investors own it does not change the source of their inspiration.

@@nightnyungwe5945 There are certainly local crafts, and the place is imbued with local aesthetics, still I don't think this is a display of "African" culture. If this were considered something cultural, then it would be a great disservice to the whole of Africa.

And remember she made that video before covid hit about how she cleans her airplane seat when traveling? now you say her home is covid free, perfect for social distancing. Lol, she's psychic ish.

Covid is air born though.

Covid-19 free huh🤔 Interesting.....???

@Levent A. 👋 from india

Make sure your guess is fully vaccinated, even by the sea u still could get it, make sure Ms Naomi. U r fully vaccinated! From tampa Florida usa GB👁❤👁

It is an actual resort, not her home.

its a resort called lion in the sun

@@mewsao Ooh I didn't know... Thought it was her home too

@@alwaysthatgirrl It has 5 stars

she’s saying we because she has her twin with her lol

Word.

She's talking about her and her royal persons, like when the queen says, "We are not amused." :) Lol

I def said out loud, "Who is we?" All I know is that it doesn't include me lol

We're all children of Africa, bless this marvelous continent 🙏

Instead of living like kings there, rich black folk should invest in the local infrastructure instead. They could actually make a change. But they don't care about Africa or its people. They just care about themselves. And don't come at me with charity. Trillions have been donated to africa via charity and nothing happened.

@@direct2397 it's not the responsability of rich locals to develop infrastructure but their corrupt government. Don't blame the rich for owning beautiful homes when they contribute to the local economy by creating and providing jobs.

@@direct2397 The Kenyan government is investing in local infrastructure. Have you ever been to Kenya? Can you even compare the infrastructure in place today with that which was in place just 10-15 years ago? There is a general perception that the continent is nothing but a vast mass of land on which nothing happens. Lots of people generally lack a more nuanced understanding of the continent, country by country, city by city, town by town etc. over a period of time.

@@nightnyungwe5945 i'm not talking about the local goverment. I'm talking about famous celebs who sit on millions who could actually make a change. And don't fool me. Kenya is still far away from being a good place to live. Very far.

She's frequently in Nigeria though

Like they didn’t accept or appreciate meagan markle. She had to leave there too

@cogamers84 What is there to appreciate about most of the 'working Royals'? I never hear this levied at the rest of them, despite hardly doing anything. Point is, the way she was treated was disgusting, and they sat back and fanned the flames.

@cogamers84 It's not anyone's job to face endless bouts of harassment. And the fact she isn't the first is only more damning.

@@smc112 shes not British. But they don’t appreciate Lewis Hamilton as they should. What do they all have in common?? 👀👀✊🏾

👍

Right on

Right!? If everybody in this world made her salary and bought this place for themselves and children. Therapists would literally go out of business!💯😂

You must be a liberal - they see a little video and assume all. I pity you lolz 😂

@@hakimbandaru1915 You must be a person that makes everything political - you see a little comment and assume all. I pity you lolz 😂

You can hare from her voice how proud and happy she is.

This couldn't be further from the truth. I have watched about 10 of these videos, and of the ones I have watched, I do not think I have seen anybody who knows less about their supposed home. It's almost as if the place got leased to make the video, which I don't hate, but that's what it looks like. Other than those few art pieces whose creator she mentioned is a teacher and whom she's met, so it's difficult to forget them, EVERYTHING else in this home of hers is pretty much turnkey. She found all of it already situated when she acquired the place and just started to live in it. I'll give you an example, that first table that she described as, "one-piece," unless we are just going to completely ignore what words mean, is actually NOT one-piece. It's a beautifully crafted table made from multiple pieces of lumber like most tables are, so that is, exhibit-A, somebody who does not know what they're talking about, but they do a good job of being confident and looking like they know what they're talking about when they are in front of people who know even less than them.

@@D_SQ could you be more invested? 🙄

​@@gloriamulwa5317 YOU would never know.

@@D_SQ You're very right. It's a resort called Lion In The Sun owned by a successful Italian businessman she dated in the late 90s early 00s named Flavio Briatore. I'm confused as to why she'd portray it as her private home; styled and decorated by her personally. It's a resort opened to the public for rental to anyone who can afford it. This is NOT Naomi's home.

Africa is very beautiful. But lets speak facts as an african i know many people are struggling

I'd love to have a dream vacation there one day!

@@peoplesperson4132 There are people struggling all over the world. The problem with Africa is that there are lots of people out there who only see the negative and never the positive.

@@nightnyungwe5945 Exactly...some Asians, Europeans and Americans are poorer than Africans. Let's stop acting as if Poverty is synonymous with Africa. We have very Wealthy Africans too

Maybe it has served as a resort for her. Her private one. And she mentions "we used to...", "This was my...". It seems she hasn't been there in quite a while. Maybe she is renting it.

@@Wenixi I bet they're renting it or using it as an exclusive resort

Is it tho? When I Google Billionaire Resort the pics show a very different property, the architecture is completely different? This seems like their private home, you can probably rent it out tho if you have the $$$$$ like Michael Spencer’s Sirai houses in Laikipia and Kilifi.

🤔 they got back together I think. In min 6.32 she mentions him and they did the spa together
