Mandarin Oriental Exceptional Homes, the brand’s luxury vacation residences portfolio, added 10 retreats to its global offerings, expanding to new destinations in Italy and Spain.
The significant expansion brings the portfolio to 35 Exceptional Homes in 14 worldwide locations, introducing Florence, Italy; Sardinia, Italy; and Marbella, Spain, to its collection, plus expanded offerings in Puglia, Italy. New Exceptional Homes include Villa Petrucci in Florence; Villa Mariza in Sardinia; Trullo delle Dame and Trullo dei Pumi in Puglia; and six Andalusian-style villas in Marbella (Villa Los Verdiales, Villa Paris, Villa Tuscany, Villa Azur, Villa Los Angeles and Villa Mirage).
Each property is individually and privately owned, and joins the Exceptional Home collection following a meticulous selection process considering location, design and service.
“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,” said Philip Leighton, head, Mandarin Oriental Exceptional Homes.
These new additions join existing residences throughout Italy, Spain, France, Greece, the United Kingdom, the United States, Thailand and Indonesia.

Mar 13, 2026Revive and Relax at Finisterra Spa at Martinhal Sagres Family Beach Resort
Most visitors remember Portugal’s Algarve for its 100-plus miles of golden, sun-drenched beaches. We remember this southern coast of Portugal for the quiet, white-washed villages and dramatic cliffs of its far western corner. And for the superbly serene Finisterra Spa at Martinhal Sagres Family Beach Resort, where we first discovered what a massage and facial could do for aching shoulders and faces parched from days of hiking along the sun-washed clifftops. Neither I nor my husband, Tim, had been fans of spas before that trip, but Finisterra made us believers.
