One&Only Mandarina is a rare retreat set within one of Mexico’s 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, cliff‑top 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.
Mandarina’s rainforest trails, swimmable beaches, and protected mountain reserve create an ideal setting for romantics, adventurers, families, and wellness seekers.

Days at Mandarina unfold across land, sea, and sky. Begin with sunrise yoga on the Aura Deck, surrounded by rainforest birdsong, before heading to the One&Only Spa – a sanctuary offering indigenous healing rituals, Tata Harper treatments, a steam room, sauna, and six serene treatment rooms. The fully equipped fitness studio and outdoor movement spaces allow you to train immersed in nature.
For adventure, explore miles of nature trails, zipline through the canopy at the Jungle Course, or visit the Mandarina Polo & Equestrian Club for horseback riding, polo lessons, or arena training. Families will love the 42,000‑sq‑ft KidsOnly club, complete with a treehouse, butterfly sanctuary, amphitheatre, and imaginative play zones.
Ocean lovers can take to the waves for whale watching, surfing, kayaking, paddleboarding, or private diving. Jetty Beach Club offers a vibrant hub for swimming, lounging, and oceanfront relaxation, while Carao’s adults‑only pool provides peaceful cliffside seclusion.

Jetty Beach Club serves casual dishes by the water’s edge, Alma offers seasonal delicacies and Mediterranean‑inspired plates with cocktails from The Treetop bar, and Carao delivers inventive Mexican cuisine with unforgettable sunset views. Additional dining options within the Mandarina community include Allora at Canalan Beach Club and Argentinean grill favourites near the Polo & Equestrian Club.
