Mandarin Oriental Hotel Group has partnered with luxury home rental platform StayOne to launch a branded collection of private villas and mansions.

The initial selection of Mandarin Oriental Exclusive Homes are located in popular destinations throughout Europe and will be available to book for the summer 2022 season. 

Properties range from a Georgian-style manor house in a 600-acre private estate in the heart of the Cotswolds to beachfront villas in the south of France and the Balearics, including a villa on its own private island in Ibiza (pictured). 

The brand said the properties would be serviced by a Mandarin Oriental-trained team who have “exceptional local knowledge and insights of each destination”.

Mandarin Oriental and StayOne said properties had undergone “rigorous quality and safety checks”, with homes having been selected to suit different customer needs and locations chosen for secluded intimacy, family-friendly attractions and party scenarios.   

Each property will feature a dedicated personal concierge who will be on hand 24/7 from initial booking through to departure to assist with pre-arrival requests and to arrange local experiences and transportation.

Homes will also benefit from an in-house private chef, housekeeping services, luxurious amenities including bathrobes and sustainable bamboo toothbrushes, and family-friendly experiences including specialised amenities and equipment and tailored child-friendly local experiences.  

“We are excited to be extending the Mandarin Oriental brand to new ventures and to be introducing new experiences to our Fans around the world,” James Riley, group chief executive of Mandarin Oriental Hotel Group.

“These handpicked luxurious homes fit naturally into our portfolio and their locations provide opportunities for our guests to combine a hotel visit with a villa stay and explore more of the destination in different ways – but all with the assurance of the Mandarin Oriental reputation. We look forward to working with StayOne to identify many more perfect homes to include in the collection.”

StayOne co-founder Thomas Bennett added: “Our home-owner members already provide the very best of luxury homes around the world, but our collaboration with Mandarin Oriental has created a unique offering in the luxury villa market. Mandarin Oriental is a globally respected and trusted brand delivering legendary service and bespoke experiences and will be the first luxury hotel group to extend their offering to the private home environment and provide a tailored holiday experience for guests.”
