One&Only Mandarina RIVIERA NAYARIT, MEXICO


One&Only Mandarina is a secluded resort in the sprawling Punta Mita rainforest jungle. The hotel is surrounded by diverse flatlands, meandering estuaries and volcanic reefs, which are home to countless species of wildlife. One&Only Mandarina prides itself on its clifftop


accommodation. The secluded, eco-designed treehouses and villas offer astonishing views over the Pacific Ocean and lush forest. Stilted treehouses are built high into the trees to frame the best views the resort has to offer. Every detail, from the large glass walls to the private plunge pool and terrace, are designed to draw attention to the rainforest and ocean views. With open-concept spaces to suit a whole


host of occasions, the villas are suitable for getaways with friends, family holidays and life’s milestone celebrations such as intimate weddings, anniversaries, birthdays and more. Each signature villa is architecturally unique


and has its own distinct feel. The villas are the resort’s largest accommodation option and range from five- to eight-bedrooms, offering up


to nearly 19,000 square feet of seamless indoor- outdoor living. Built into the hilltops, Villa One provides a sense of grandeur — and with a private cinema, infinity pool, hot tub, spa, gym and games room with pool table, guests can reallyzz make themselves at home. For further insight into the stunning natural


surroundings, One&Only offer tours with Mandarina’s Experiences. Guests can soar above and walk along ancient rainforest trails, dive into underwater volcanic reefs or go on a fishing or whale-watching expedition. The hotel’s bars and restaurants also draw


inspiration from the setting. Visitors can experience high-altitude dining by award-winning celebrity chef Enrique Olvera, who highlights traditional Mexican ingredients with a twist. The One&Only Spa has ancient therapies and a


range of treatments designed to help you unwind and connect with nature. Staff aim to take guests on a deep, spiritual journey with temazcal, a therapeutic ceremony practiced for health and purification since pre-Hispanic times.
