Book the One&Only Mandarina with VIP Benefits

The One&Only Mandarina is part of an award-winning group of luxury hotels. This eco-friendly villa resort is in Mexico's coastal rainforest, the Riviera Nayarit. It overlooks the Pacific Ocean.

Location

The resort benefits from a gorgeous location along the Pacific coast shores. It is surrounded by jungle greenery and emerald coasts, nestled under the Sierra del Vallejo mountains.

Beaches beckon with pristine white sands, private pools, and terraces in tree houses. Cliff villas also offer perfectly peaceful hideaways, at one with nature.

Additionally, the resort is eco-designed to harmonize with the natural scenery. It's in balance with the prevailing ecosystem, secluded but not isolated. Major towns are also reachable. For example, the residential community of Punta Mita is about a 40-minute drive through glorious scenery.

Moreover, Puerto Vallarta International Airport is less than an hour away. It has plenty of shops, restaurants, and lively nightlife for stopovers.

Dipping and Dining

The rooms overlook a beautiful, blue ocean. Guests can enjoy the resort's natural beauty. Swaying palms, green fronds, and volcanic rocks can be touched from the outdoor decks. Additionally, terraces are constructed from local Cumaru wood and other Mexican materials.

Here, guests can enjoy private dipping pools. Swimmers can also bathe at the hotel beach or wander along the wilder Canalan beach shores. Moreover, an infinity pool is on the hillside. Palms fringe stretched out into an ocean vista, surrounded by comfy sun loungers and private cabanas.

A jetty curves around the beach, making it the starting point for trips along the stunning coastline and picnics at sea. Moreover, the beach club offers a romantic setting for sunset dining from the grill beside the Pacific Ocean.

Resort Features

There are also several infinity pools, a kids' pool, and a Mandarina polo club. The resort offers beach rides and rainforest hikes, as well as a lavish spa. Additionally, dining options include four outdoor restaurants. A gourmet diner features an upscale Mexican menu and a treetop ocean-view bar.

Slatted Cumaru wooden shutters and long gauzy white curtains allow breezes to flow. Moreover, bathrooms have deep tubs (indoors and outside), separate showers, and complimentary toiletries.

Treehouses

These accommodations are dream versions of storybook treehouses. They are on stilts for stunning views of the mountains, jungle, or sea. All allow for privacy and peace, barely in sight of another building. The Panoramic Ocean Treehouse is a cloud sanctuary. It has the best views from its bright, spacious rooms and large balcony.

Villas

These are embedded in the volcanic rock face, where exotic birds, armadillos, and other wildlife can be seen. Mexican artisans hoped the modern, bright decor would enhance these unique, perfect spaces.

An in-room breakfast or an ethereal massage with luxury preparations could also start the day.

Restaurants & Bar

Several diners offer guests a choice of mood or style throughout the day. Most feature outdoor terrace dining. Alma is an all-day option. It has a mix of Mediterranean and Pan-American flavors. It includes wood-fired flatbreads with tasty toppings.

Healthy garden-to-plate menus also align with the resort's wellness philosophy. The bar offers an array of specially curated Mexican drinks and cocktails.

Alma is also great for a Mexican-style empowering breakfast as a change from calming in-room dining. Carao is a fine dining restaurant suspended over the ocean. It offers refined Mexican dishes by celebrity chef Enrique Olvera.

Enjoy lunchtime listening to the ocean sounds and evening dining watching the sunset on the Pacific – idyllic. A fresh seafood selection is also available at the open-air Jetty Beach Club. Food and drinks are also available via room service.
