The One&Only Mandarina rainforest resort is almost perfectly camouflaged from the air, so well is the huge complex nestled in the jungle of the Sierra de Vallejo Biosphere Reserve. The individual villas, many of which have been built high up in the forest canopy or on the cliffs to offer unparalleled ocean views, are spread out over the 88-hectare property to ensure complete privacy. Watch the whales in the ocean from your villa's infinity pool, go on a leisurely fishing trip, or learn to play polo and take part in a weekend tournament. Three restaurants run by celebrity chefs guarantee unforgettable gastronomic experiences, and a fantastic kids' club offers adventures that the little ones will remember for a long time to come.
Run, hike, or swim against the backdrop of a rare coastal rainforest brimming with adventure. The luxurious One&Only Spa awaits you with traditional treatments and ceremonies, while yoga and meditation classes are also held in the fresh air. Younger guests can enjoy adventures that allow them to experience the wonders of nature up close, from wildlife bingo to exploring the butterfly farm. Another highlight is the Mandarina Polo & Equestrian Club, which organizes horseback rides in the jungle and by the sea, riding lessons, and weekly polo tournaments.
The eco-friendly designer tree houses perfectly combine an exclusive feeling of freedom with a touch of glamour and comfort; with private terraces and plunge pools, they float twelve meters above volcanic rocks and trees, ensuring an unforgettable experience. The elegant villas, on the other hand, blend harmoniously into their surroundings and are inspired by the natural rocks, trees, and local artifacts. True to the One&Only philosophy, authenticity, privacy, and well-being are paramount. All 105 villas have their own butler service, available around the clock.
Three excellent restaurants await you, linked by common themes. Wide, open spaces allow the unique microclimate to flow in and offer magnificent views of the treetops or the coast. Look forward to varied menus developed and implemented by two prominent chefs. The family-friendly Alma offers a menu of seasonal Pan-American and Mediterranean cuisine, while the Jetty Beach Club on the beach is a more relaxed option offering freshly caught seafood. The Carao, perched high on stilts in the middle of the rainforest, presents an artistic take on modern Mexican cuisine.
The dreamlike, exceptionally large One&Only Mandarina is seamlessly nestled in Mexico's breathtaking coastal rainforest and combines unparalleled seclusion with the unmistakable One&Only atmosphere. Surrounded by palm-fringed sandy beaches and emerald cliffs, interrupted only by lagoons and estuaries, you will find yourself in a paradise where it is easy to reflect on the essential things in life, leave everyday stress behind and connect with nature. The elegant One&Only Spa awaits you with traditional treatments and ceremonies, while yoga and meditation classes are also held in the fresh air and various retreats are offered where you can regain your inner balance.
