This luxurious, Lamu-style hideaway in Msambweni, the “land of the sable antelope,” was opened in 2007.
Its location on a clifftop above a white sandy beach is practically predestined for an infinity pool, and this one certainly lives up to its name, creating the illusion that you could simply float on out into the Indian Ocean
Inside the hotel’s suites and villas, white is the dominant theme, with Arabian influences providing characterful accents
Ornate alcoves, silk cushions set against whitewashed walls, brass lamps, and unbleached cotton recliners thus line the route to the private beach, where guests can spend cocktail hour watching the dramatic sunset.
If, that is, they can tear themselves away from the recently opened spa

Some say it is the house that George Clooney couldn’t get. Hardly surprising, considering Villa Regina Teodolinda is situated in the enchanted lakeside position in the famous village of Laglio, on Lake Como, a location often frequented by movie stars.
