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.
