A new chapter in luxury oceanfront living unfolds with the unveiling of Ocean House, a limited collection of 22 ultra-luxury residences at Mandarin Oriental Residences, Grand Cayman. This architectural masterpiece was developed by Melkonian Capital Management and RAL Companies and designed by Paris-based architect Reda Amalou of AW2, set to redefine elegance, privacy, and modern sophistication in one of the Caribbean’s most coveted locales. Slated for completion in early 2028, Mandarin Oriental, Grand Cayman marks the brand’s first new-build resort and residences in the Caribbean.
Atop an ocean cliff in the secluded St. James Point, the new Ocean House is a sculptural statement, far beyond just a desirable vacation destination. Its curvaceous façade and expansive private wraparound terraces create a flow between interior opulence and the breathtaking Grand Cayman seascape. Each residence, which ranges from two to four bedrooms, is crafted with a jaw-dropping attention to detail, beautifully blending natural materials such as limestone, oak, marble, and brass to evoke the feeling of a luxury private estate.
“We are dedicated to creating world-class residential experiences by collaborating with the finest designers and architects,” says Ryan Melkonian, founder and managing partner of Melkonian Capital Management, in a press release. “Ocean House exemplifies this vision, offering residents a seamless blend of innovative architecture, bespoke interiors, and Mandarin Oriental’s renowned service. This exceptional collection of homes sets a new benchmark for oceanfront living in the Caribbean.”
From the moment of arrival, residents are welcomed through a tranquil porte-cochère into a soaring double-height lobby clad in organic textures, offering a preview of the serene design that carries throughout. Interiors feature fluted oak cabinetry, custom exhibition kitchens with best-in-class appliances, and spa-like primary baths with oversized ocean-view soaking tubs. Every space has been imagined as a sanctuary where architectural brilliance meets natural beauty.
“Every detail of Ocean House was designed to create a seamless harmony between the natural landscape and refined luxury,” says Amalou, founder and partner of AW2, in a press release. “The curves and expansive terraces, as well as the use of organic materials, reflect our vision of blending contemporary elegance with the breathtaking surroundings of Grand Cayman, creating a sense of harmony throughout the lived experience of the Ocean House.”
The Ocean House lifestyle extends beyond the residence itself. Owners enjoy exclusive access to the private Ocean House Club, complete with a club room and infinity pool which proffer stunning views, as well as perks at Mandarin Oriental, Grand Cayman’s expansive five-star resort. From award-winning dining and wellness offerings to a world-class spa and curated diving excursions, this destination offers a truly elevated experience for visitors and residents.
Alongside Ocean House, the 91-room resort also features the Beach House collection, ultra-luxury residences atop the main hotel with similarly expansive views and exquisite interiors. Altogether, the development stretches across 67 acres of tropical landscape, including 2,700 feet of ocean frontage and a pristine 1,000-ft. crescent beach.
Pricing for Ocean House residences begins at $6 million, reflecting not only the unparalleled design and amenities but also the promise of legendary Mandarin Oriental service.
