Picture this... taking to the open road in a supercar, driving through the British countryside, ending with a stay at one of Mandarin Oriental’s Exclusive Homes. Doesn’t sound too shabby for one last summer-time adventure, does it!
In collaboration with Auto Vivendi, the world’s largest private members’ supercar club, Mandarin Oriental Exclusive Homes unveiled its new supercar experience this summer, which teams the ultimate road-trip with an exceptional stay, all backdropped to the UK’s rolling hills.
If you’re in the mood for a motoring holiday of the ultra-luxury kind, you can handpick one of Auto Vivendi’s latest supercars – choosing from Maseratis to Ferraris – and have it delivered directly to the door of any Mandarin Oriental Exclusive Home in the UK.
You can start your journey at the majestic Georgian Manor, Cirencester Estate, before hitting the open road to tour the idyllic Cotswolds, or revel in the laid-back luxury of Bittescombe Lodge & Deer Park, with a drive to remember through the rolling hills of Somerset. A beautiful breakfast will help fuel you for the bespoke supercar journey ahead, as you drive 12 miles with personalised one-on-one tuition and guidance throughout. You can break up your journey with a lunchtime pit-stop at a gastro-pub along the way, then put pedal to the metal for an afternoon of winding roads and epic scenery
The next part of your stay is where Mandarin Oriental’s legendary hospitality kicks into gear, as you check into one of its fully-serviced private accommodations for two or more nights. Following an afternoon at the wheel, you’ll be greeted with cocktails and canapés to welcome you to your new home-away-from-home, at either Cirencester Estate or Bittescombe Lodge & Deer Park. Your stay will be further complemented by personally tailored menus from your private in-house chef (approved by Mandarin Oriental’s culinary experts), daily breakfast, lunch and dinner, daily housekeeping, and, of course, beautiful Mandarin Oriental amenities.
To ensure your stay suits you to a tee, a dedicated concierge will help curate your bespoke itinerary, and a full-time estate manager will be on hand should you need anything. If you want to shift the experience into overdrive, private helicopter transfers to and from your Mandarin Oriental Exclusive Home can also be arranged, courtesy of Fly Victor.
