A Family Affair
The Riviera Nayarit’s One&Only Mandarina beckons adventurists and beach lovers.
Located just 45 minutes from Punta Mita, this Riviera Nayarit sanctuary has been met with serious applause. Guests are swooning over this cliffside retreat overlooking a remote stretch of the Pacific coastline and the Sierra del Vallejo mountains. Expect tucked-away treehouses and clifftop villas, destination dining from Mexico’s most famous chef, and a meticulously curated, exclusive experience menu designed for elevated adventure and wellness. What’s more? Family fun for all ages.
The Suite Life
Designed for indoor-outdoor living, accommodations include private plunge pools and terraces, floor-to-ceiling windows, glass walls, extra-large bathrooms, custom woodwork, and artefacts by local designers. Constructed with raw materials indigenous to the region, the villas live like safe sanctuaries, inspired by the spirit of the local Cora and Huichol cultures. Woven seamlessly into Mexico’s most awe-inspiring coastal rainforest, One&Only Mandarina is a rare haven in nature, offering the ideal balance of seclusion.
Grand Villas
Grand Villas cater to families and friends with privacy and space plus indelible sea views. Expect large sun-kissed terraces, while infinity pools, gyms, and cinemas make these villas haute hideaways to celebrate, explore, and rejuvenate. Spacious retreats envelope guests in seclusion, while leaving natural surroundings undisturbed. Ranging from one to three-bedrooms, Grand Villas can accommodate every generation, mood, and occasion.
Villa One
The resort’s exquisite two-story, three-bedroom villa – Villa One — is the pinnacle of resort living with magnificent views of the Pacific Ocean. Sleeping up to eight guests, get lost in stylish spaces, including a private cinema, wine cellar, game room, spa, living room, gym, and infinity pool.
Signature Villas
An extraordinary collection of expansive Signature Villas is nestled high in the rainforest. With captivating ocean, beach and mountain views, these secluded hideaways are designed with larger groups in mind and can host up to 24 guests via five- to eight-bedroom villas. Discover the comforts of home with the pampering of a resort via swimming pools, state-of-the-art gyms, gourmet kitchens, and full-screen cinemas. Each villa is specifically designed to reflect its location, drawing the outdoors in via incredible views of rolling, green mountainsides fading into jungle canopies or vistas of the crystal-clear ocean.
Only at Mandarina: The Ultimate Family Stay
Between Mexican Chef Enrique Olvera’s Mexican fare, world-class equestrian activities, regionally inspired wellness activities, and the life aquatic, curious adventurers have plenty of stimulation.
Here’s a sample of how best to experience Mandarina and reconnect as a family.
DAY 1
Welcome! After greeting your beachfront hideaway, settle into your spacious villa before heading to Alma’s secluded infinity pool. Little ones can splash and play under the watchful eye of lifeguards while adults can relax on oversized beds and cabanas.
Dinner at Carao or Alma. Carao offers a unique twist on authentic local flavors, with a special menu for kids filled with Mexican favorites. Kids will love Alma’s rustic flatbreads made in large wood-fired clay ovens, along with colorful tacos and quesadillas.
DAY 2
Family Hike to Meet La Abuela. Set off on a family hike to “La Abuela” or “The Grandmother,” a 500-year-old tree shrouded in ancient mystery. Your guide will explain the types of endemic plants and birds found along the way as kids learn about the power of nature.
Lunch at the Jetty Beach Club. Dine family-style on fresh seafood cooked on an open grill or opt for zesty tacos and brilliant ceviche. After lunch, go paddleboarding, kayaking, snorkeling, or enjoy the swimmable beach.
Kids Only & Adults Spa Day. The littles can navigate the 42,000-square-foot playground, which includes jungle tree houses, climbing walls, hanging bridges and slides, climbing walls, and nature trails. Meanwhile, adults can recharge at the regionally inspired spa.
In-Villa Dining. Taste the flavors of Mexico to the sounds of the jungle — a private evening meal at your villa ensures unforgettable memories.
DAY 3
Morning Jungle Course! A favorite for the littles? The Mandarina Jungle Course. Featuring a set of adrenaline-pumping physical feats, it includes zip lining, rappel courses, and an obstacle trail.
Butterfly Farm & Horseback Riding. Kids of all ages will love the Butterfly Farm, which showcases the gentle and colorful creatures. Children over 10 can discover the ultimate horseback riding adventure, with trail rides through the rainforest to nearby Canalan Beach Club.
Sayulita Surf Lessons. Hang Ten! Learn to surf along one of Mexico’s most scenic coastlines.
Sunset Sips at The Treetop. Tonight, savor cocktails and playful mocktails for little ones at this botanical bar, which infuses tasty toasts with edible flowers, hibiscus, and tropical flavors.
