About Omai
-
-
More than a stay, an Omai villa is a complete experience. Impeccably appointed and intuitively serviced, each residence becomes a private world unto itself, setting the scene for life to unfold at its finest. Every detail, from the noble materials that define the space to the tailored experiences that bring it to life, reflects a deep discernment of what makes luxury truly meaningful.
Omai
‘Om’ – a tranquil breath of calm. ‘Ai’ – the Japanese word for love. Joined, they form a name that speaks in a gentle cadence of serene welcome and cultivated care.
Our philosophy
Hospitality,
Hospitality,
the Omai way
Perceptive, cultured, discreet, Omai calibrates the right balance, never too much. Omai understands the elegance of understatement. Omai embraces nuance, believing that true luxury is discernment.
Omai embodies the subtle attentiveness that anticipates needs before they arise, reads the room, and responds accordingly. Omai works expertly to feel effortless, leaving nothing unattended, and nothing to chance. Omai knows that attention to the small things is what defines the great ones.
Architecture
Architectural landmarks in fabled locations
-
Designed in collaboration with leading architects such as SAOTA, Omai villas are striking yet serene, framing the landscape with clean lines and generous proportions. Expansive openings, layered terraces, and considered spatial planning invite natural light, ocean breeze and the surrounding landscape inward — allowing guests to experience both indoor comfort and the local environment as one continuous, harmonious setting.

Interiors bring together noble materials and furniture by French and Italian design luminaries with commissioned pieces and artworks from the founders’ private collection, cultivating an inviting and elegant atmosphere — setting a new benchmark for elevated vacation living.
The vision behind Omai
Origin story
Arnaud Lucien brings decades of expertise in luxury world-building to Omai. As the founder of Luxsense, he spent 25 years shaping the retail displays of Italian and French maisons such as Louis Vuitton, Chanel, Hermès, Saint Laurent and many others.
-
Bridging design, craftsmanship, and storytelling at the highest level, his spatial narratives translate their essence into immersive environments that enhance their resonance and shape the client experience. After selling Luxsense in 2018, Arnaud channelled his expertise into a more personal vision, aligning his deep knowledge of global luxury with his passion for architecture, gastronomy, and travel to set a new benchmark in exceptional hospitality.
-
The creation of his first villa, Omai Grey, in Ibiza in 2015 became the foundation for a series of residences that combine the privacy and individuality of residential architecture with the immersive experiences of world-class resorts and the discreet, personalised service of five-star hotels. With Omai, Arnaud envisions a collection of exceptional destination living experiences that expand worldwide while preserving the individuality and refinement that make each villa a world unto itself.
Sustainability
Each Omai villa is conceived with responsibility at its core. Sustainability is not a feature — it is part of the framework.
From locally sourced materials and a deep respect for the surrounding landscape, every element reflects a quiet respect for place. Operations remain discreet, ecosystems protected, and impact considered not only for today, but for generations to come. Collaborations with local artisans and producers further strengthen community ties, ensuring that Omai contributes to — rather than compromises — its natural setting.
