The Experience

Woven seamlessly into the dramatic emerald slopes and volcanic bluffs of Riviera Nayarit, One&Only Mandarina is a transformative coastal sanctuary designed for profound reconnection with nature. Located just north of Punta Mita, the resort commands a wild, protected coastal enclave where verdant tropical canopy cascades directly into secluded Pacific coves and estuaries.

Accommodations consist of 105 standalone architect-designed villas and treehouses perched high in the forest canopy or jutting over dramatic cliff edges. Crafted entirely from sustainable native clay, Cumaru wood, and stone, each sanctuary features soaring ceiling-to-floor glass walls, private outdoor plunge pools, expansive timber terraces with daybeds, marble bathrooms with soaking tubs, and dedicated butler service.

Culinary artistry reaches unmatched heights with three destination dining concepts. Carao, perched dramatically over a dramatic ocean cliff edge, features provocative contemporary Mexican cuisine conceptualized by internationally celebrated Chef Enrique Olvera (of Pujol). Alma offers vibrant Pan-American and Mediterranean fare alongside three cascading infinity pools, while the Jetty Beach Club serves ultra-fresh ceviches and catches-of-the-day directly on the sand with a private sea-swimming platform.

Wellness is anchored by the One&Only Spa, sheltered beneath a majestic canopy of ancient Higueras trees, offering indigenous Huichol healing ceremonies, hot/cold vitality pools, and private open-air treatment pavilions. Adventure awaits at the Mandarina Polo & Equestrian Club, jungle canopy zip-lining, and guided estuary kayaking.
