Vipingo Ridge Villas, Kilifi, Kenya

A motor-free compound on a privileged spot in the coast of Kenya.

Forty luxurious villas spread over three levels with sea views from every single room. This 15-acre development, in true contemporary Swahili style, offers great terraces, natural ventilation and stucco finishes. There are six different models for the townhouses which are built in clusters of five, but no two clusters are the same. Each shares a common swimming pool while individual units feature a plunge pool on their first-floor terraces. What’s more, complete hotel services such as laundry, room service and concierge are available. Adding further allure is that motor vehicles are restricted to the perimeter of the development. Only golf carts, pedestrians and bicyclists are allowed as transport throughout the villas, allowing for more leisure and less traffic.
