By Newsdesk Oct 12, 2026 10:00am Mandarin Oriental's private villa rental collection now stands at 43 homes in 18 destinations after its latest round of additions, most of them in the Mediterranean. Mandarin Oriental Exceptional Homes is entering the Croatian island of Lopud and Porto Heli, Greece, for the first time, along with Tuscany and Sardinia. This is the second major expansion this year for the luxe vacation home platform. Italy accounts for much of the growth. Florence gets two homes: Villa Petrucci, within the city, and Dimora Ghirlandaio, in the hills of Impruneta, with pietra serena and terracotta interiors and views that reach the Florentine skyline. Il Cellese, a stone house on a private Chianti estate, looks out over vineyards. In Sardinia, Villa Ada and Villa Marzia both sit directly on the beach. Puglia, already in the portfolio, picks up a pair of restored trulli, Trullo delle Dame and Trullo dei Pumi. Spain sees the largest single addition, with seven villas in Marbella. Some are in the gated enclave of La Zagaleta and others in Nueva Andalucía's Golf Valley, including frontline positions on Las Brisas Golf Club. The French Riviera lineup also grows. In Asia, the collection adds Tatvani, a private estate in Chiang Rai, Thailand, where teak villas are set among rice fields with mountain views. Every home in the program is individually and privately owned. Stays come with a dedicated concierge who builds itineraries, private chef service, and daily housekeeping. "As the portfolio evolves, our focus remains on purposeful growth; introducing new destinations that broaden our global reach while preserving the intimacy, discretion and exceptional service our guests expect. This next phase reflects both the strength of the collection and our ambition for its continued expansion," Philip Leighton, head of Mandarin Oriental Exceptional Homes, said in prepared remarks.

In southern Italy, the portfolio further strengthens its presence in Puglia with the addition of two authentic trulli, Trullo delle Dame and Trullo dei Pumi. Each has been thoughtfully restored to honour the region's architectural heritage while delivering contemporary comfort and privacy. Marbella remains a key growth destination for the collection, marked by the introduction of seven new, design-led villas. Each property has been curated for its refined aesthetic and its expression of modern Andalusian living. Among the new additions are villas set in La Zagaleta and Nueva Andalucía's Golf Valley, including frontline positions overlooking the prestigious Las Brisas Golf Club. Expanding further into Asia, Tatvani in Chiang Rai introduces an entirely private estate set within the lush landscapes of northern Thailand, where a collection of teak-crafted villas is immersed in rice fields and mountain scenery, offering a deeply personalised retreat defined by nature, cultural immersion, and complete seclusion. Each Mandarin Oriental Exceptional Home is individually and privately owned and has been meticulously selected for its desirable location, design, and ability to deliver Mandarin Oriental's legendary service, including a dedicated concierge to curate tailored itineraries, a private chef service to craft bespoke menus, daily housekeeping, and luxurious amenities. This latest expansion reflects Mandarin Oriental Exceptional Homes' ambitious growth strategy, with continued focus on broadening its geographic reach while maintaining an uncompromising approach to quality and service for today's discerning traveller. As the portfolio evolves, its focus remains on purposeful growth; introducing new destinations that broaden its global reach while preserving the intimacy, discretion and exceptional service its guests expect.

Mandarin Oriental marks groundbreaking of Mandarin Oriental, Miami hotel and residences. 2 hours ago Mandarin Oriental honored the groundbreaking of Mandarin Oriental, Miami and The Residences at Mandarin Oriental, Miami, a significant milestone in the brand's return to one of the world's most dynamic luxury destinations. Held on Brickell Key, the ceremonial shovel-in-ground event brought together leadership from Mandarin Oriental, Swire Properties, project partners, and invited guests to celebrate the next phase of a landmark destination set to redefine luxury hospitality, residential living, and lifestyle experiences in Miami. The project builds on Mandarin Oriental's longstanding connection to the city while introducing a bold expression of the brand for the future. Central to the project is Mandarin Oriental's longstanding partnership with Swire Properties, continuing a shared history on Brickell Key. The development brings together this enduring partnership with globally renowned architecture practice KPF, whose two-tower design provides the architectural vision for the new destination. "Mandarin Oriental has undergone a significant transformation in recent years, growing our global portfolio while raising our ambitions for what we offer our guests," said Laurent Kleitman, Chief Executive of Mandarin Oriental. "We are creating hotels that are not only exceptional places to stay but destinations, bringing together outstanding dining, wellness, culture, and programming. The new development in Miami will embody that evolution, building on our longstanding connection to Brickell Key while introducing a new expression of our brand." For the groundbreaking, Mandarin Oriental brought together talent from across its global portfolio, creating a rare opportunity to experience in one evening the creativity, craftsmanship, and hospitality that distinguish the brand. The culinary journey included Pizza Omakase-inspired creations from Mandarin Oriental, Tokyo; Mediterranean flavors from Mandarin Oriental, Costa Navarino; signature desserts from Mandarin Oriental, Bangkok; and cocktails showcasing talent from Mandarin Oriental, Shenzhen and Mandarin Oriental, Vienna. The groundbreaking follows a strong market response to The Residences at Mandarin Oriental, Miami, developed by Swire Properties. Residential sales have surpassed $1.7 billion to date, including record-setting transactions and pricing. This demand underscores confidence in the project's long-term vision and reflects the continued appeal of hospitality-led residential living anchored by the Mandarin Oriental brand. "Breaking ground on The Residences at Mandarin Oriental, Miami marks another important milestone in Swire Properties' long-term vision for Brickell Key," said Tim Blackburn, Chief Executive of Swire Properties. "Our strong sales momentum reflects the project's differentiated value in South Florida's competitive luxury market - driven by its prime waterfront location, the development team's track record, the global brand recognition of Mandarin Oriental, and world-class design partners." Within Mandarin Oriental's expanding global portfolio, Miami will form part of a new generation of hotels, residences, and mixed-use destinations shaped by their locations and by a broader ambition for the guest experience. The openings of Mandarin Oriental, Mallorca, and Mandarin Oriental, Vienna in 2026, followed by Rome and Cortina in 2027, reflect this period of growth and the continued evolution of the Group's portfolio. Mandarin Oriental, Miami, and The Residences at Mandarin Oriental, Miami bring the Group's growing expertise in hospitality-led residential living to Brickell Key, combining world-class service, exceptional design, and curated lifestyle experiences within one destination. The project builds on a global portfolio of 16 Mandarin Oriental Residences in operation and a pipeline of 20 new residences set to open by 2031, including announced projects in Kanai, Riviera Maya, Grand Cayman, Puerto Rico, and West Palm Beach. In Miami, that experience supports a long-term commitment to creating a destination for residents and travelers alike...
