One&Only Mandarina is a rare retreat set within one of Mexicoโs last remaining coastal rainforests. Flanked by emerald mountains and the warm Pacific, this intimate hideaway blends dramatic natural landscapes with contemporary luxury.
Guests arrive to a world where treehouses float above the canopy, cliffโtop villas overlook the ocean, and every moment feels deeply connected to nature.
Just north of Punta Mita, the resort sits on an undeveloped stretch of the Riviera Nayarit coastline. With Puerto Vallarta International Airport only 45 minutes away, travellers enjoy seamless access to a destination that feels wonderfully remote yet effortlessly reachable.
Mandarinaโs rainforest trails, swimmable beaches, and protected mountain reserve create an ideal setting for romantics, adventurers, families, and wellness seekers.
