We’re dreaming of jetting off to an intimate new destination set upon one of the most awe-inspiring coastal rainforests in Mexico, one of the very last beachfront jungles in the country. At One&Only Mandarina, 105 standalone villas and treehouses are nestled in the treetops or dramatically positioned against the cliffside, each offering seclusion and space along with private infinity pools. One&Only’s second resort in Mexico, One&Only Mandarina is a hidden retreat in Riviera Nayarit, with palm-fringed sands, swimmable shores, and an energetic environment crafted for reconnection.
Villas & Treehouses
Accommodation options range from chic treehouses to expansive private villas. The treehouses are perched in boughs and are designed to celebrate the destination with a blend of indoor and outdoor living spaces, private plunge pools, vast terraces, and private butler services. The villas range from one bedroom cliff villas all the way up to “Villa One,” which is a two-story, three-bedroom hideaway with magnificent views of the Pacific Ocean and beyond.
Dining at One&Only Mandarina
The resort features a variety of dining and entertainment concepts. The celebrity-chef restaurant, The Point, offers creative cuisine and breathtaking views from the highest point. You can also enjoy the vibrant Jetty Beach Club, the family-friendly hub at Alma, and an elegant culinary destination with award-winning cuisine at Carao. A polo club, beach club, spa, and dining options all offer unique experiences for discerning travelers.
Activities at One&Only Mandarina
As you’d expect at a resort of this caliber, there are plenty of options for activities, whether you want those activities to be physically active or relaxing. As if having a private pool with each treehouse or villa wasn’t enough, there are an additional five swimming pools dotted around the resort, so you are sure to always have a place to take a dip, and that doesn’t even include the resort’s swimmable beach! Take all those options coupled with the resort’s 640 acres of coastal rainforest and miles of hiking trails, your options to relax or explore are boundless.
There are also options for foodie experiences, where you can learn to make an authentic Mexican taco from scratch, discover astrological dining delights, or connect with cacao consciousness.
For riders and spectators alike, there are fabulous options at the Mandarina Polo & Equestrian Club. You can enjoy horseback lessons, polo lessons, and trail riding in the jungle or along the beach, a truly unforgettable experience.
Those bringing along little ones will be pleased to know there is a kids club called KidsOnly, set amidst the trees in a 42,000 square foot playground like no other. The club is designed for children from ages 4-11 and features jungle treehouses, hanging bridges and slides, climbing walls, and nature trails. It is a place where children can let their imaginations run wild, fulfilling even the best childhood dreams.
And of course, a One&Only experience would not be complete without a world-class spa, and One&Only Mandarina is no exception. Here, you can breathe in the fresh sea air, tune into the sound of birdsong, and feel completely castaway with mindfulness and yoga classes as well as treatments, inspired by both progressive and ancient healing practices.
