Mandarin Oriental has launched an exciting new way to explore the world: Mandarin Oriental Exclusive Journeys.
Curated by The Luminaire, these expert-led journeys are exclusive to Mandarin Oriental guests. They unlock hidden destinations, private access to local experts, and experiences you won’t find anywhere else.
Explore the World Differently.
Unlike typical travel experiences, Mandarin Oriental’s Exclusive Journeys go beyond sightseeing. Instead, guests gain privileged access to cultural figures, hidden gems, and local experts.
For example, you might wander historic European streets, taste rare wines in centuries-old cellars, or explore remote desert landscapes. Each journey promises memorable, immersive experiences that linger long after the trip ends.
Currently, these journeys are available across global destinations, including Madrid, Paris, Milan, Geneva, Tokyo, Muscat, London, and more. At every location, curated experiences reflect the city’s distinct culture and history, helping travelers connect with its true essence.
