To take your breath away, we’ve rounded up some of the best celebrity homes that are a visual delight.
When it comes to luxury, pristine locations are always winners. George Clooney’s Villa Oleandra is one of the most expensive celebrity homes around. Located on the banks of Lake Como, the wide expanse of the home boasts of a modern contemporary appeal. With modern amenities, the house features everything from a gym to a tennis court, a pizza room and outdoor theatre. But the true beauty of the home is brought to life on the balcony that overlooks the stunning Lake Como, and the pool set admist lush greenery and a valley.

California is the ultimate destination for magnificent larger-than-life homes. The 13-acre home of Ellen DeGeneres is inspired by Tuscany, bringing a European flair to California. Designed by architect Wallace Frost, the home includes plenty of amenities to provide tranquillity, including nine fireplaces, multiple libraries, two pools and a tennis court. While the amenities offered do leave us awe-inspired, beauty is at its best when lounging at the glass house overlooking the pool. Perhaps one of the most stunning features is the home’s seamless integration of outdoor and indoor living. Keep an eye out for the alfresco dining area that is nestled below mature trees. Yet another highlight of the home is the tennis court set in the midst of nature.
Supermodel Gigi Hadid took to Instagram last year to show us the interiors of her home. She recreated the corner of her home with poppy hues, that were at once kitsch and artsy. her Instagram caption read, “excited for the time I’ll get to spend enjoying all the special corners that were made with a little help from some of my favourite creatives.” The offbeat home brings out the true beauty of unconventional design ideas. While the design echoes a pop of colours and texture, the key element that caught our attention was the colourful sofas and cabinet doors. Each design element is seamlessly reflective of Hadid’s vibrant personality.

Nothing defines Drake’s home better than the word eclectic. A mix of old-world craftsmanship, limestone, bronze, exotic woods, and other plush materials the house was designed by interior designer Ferris Rafauli. Giving the aura of living in a mansion, the home boasts a contemporary twist with modern Art-Deco elements. Black marble is contrasted with white stone, and the interiors of the home spell out extravagance. Channelling his love for basketball, the star has an NBA regulation-size indoor basketball court crowned by a 21-square-foot pyramidal skylight. What’s more? The ambience of the pool is elevated with a backlit slab of Nero Assoluto granite that offers interchangeable atmosphere lighting.

Simple, rustic and inspired by the 19th century, Vanessa Carlton’s home offers a warm hill home feel. Featuring a carpet, exquisite furnishing, and versatile tone of charcoal, brown, beige and white; the home is a contemporary space. Fusing together elements of nature with modern accents, the home has been designed to be cozy yet chic. A highlight? The 19th-century property has room for the musician’s collected treasures, and is filled with Lord of the Rings aesthetic, and a family of wild turkeys. However, the living room is where Adele has a special set up to write and record music, making this the cosiest spot of her home.
Not a part of tinseltown technically, but singer Adele’s Brighton Beach House is everyone’s dream holiday home. Designed using earthy tones, the beach house boasts incredible views of the sea, with glass panelling allowing light to sweep through the whole house. Stealing our hearts, however, is the dreamy bathroom overlooking the ocean. The property reportedly includes a double-height atrium, a seaside terrace.
