One&Only Mandarina
The best of Mexico
This coastal enclave combines the best of Mexico – stunning natural beauty, fascinating culture and a warm welcome. Stay in beautiful treehouses or clifftop villas, complete with private plunge pools and surrounded by lush rainforest. The accommodation has been designed using native materials, in keeping with the ancient trees and volcanic rocks that encompass them. You'll feel totally at one with nature; the perfect place to unwind.
Nature's splendour
An enviable location on the undeveloped, unspoilt coastline of the Riviera Nayarit makes this one of the most naturally beautiful holiday locations you could imagine. No matter where you look, there’s a photogenic moment waiting to be captured for your Instagram; the resort is surrounded by white sand beaches with swimmable waves, the dramatic Sierra del Vallejo Mountains and beautiful tropical jungle.
Let the adventure begin
Whether you walk or cycle, explore the miles of nature trails which wind through flatlands, lush jungle and stunning stretches of coastline. Try an array of watersports at the Jetty Beach Club and zipline through the trees for an exhilarating rush at the Mandarina Jungle Course.
Horse-back adventures abound at the premier Polo & Equestrian Club, headed up by expert horseman Gustavo Mejia Ortiz. Whether you’re a novice or expert, enjoy horse riding lessons, trail riding along the beach and polo classes that make you feel rooted in Mexico. If you’re visiting the resort in May, catch a world-class polo match.
Foodie feasts
Described as ‘dining for all five senses’, the culinary offering at One&Only Mandarina is an undoubted highlight. Soak up the atmosphere at Jetty Beach Club, or try the garden-to-plate concept at Alma which highlights the richness of local produce. We love the views and dishes on offer at Carao, which is the place to be for a fresh take on Mexican favourites and the best sunsets anywhere along the coast.
After a day’s adventure, watch the sun set with an apéritif at The Treetop – set high in the jungle canopy as its name suggests. Sample bold Mexican cuisine with a twist at Carao, garden-to-plate fusions at Alma and signature soft shell crab tacos at Jetty Beach Club, which looks out over the calming Pacific Ocean.
One&Only Palmilla
A heavenly Los Cabos retreat
Sandwiched between endless blue skies and endless blue sea, this heavenly Los Cabos retreat has long been a favourite for A-list celebrities and discerning travellers in search of sun-soaked luxury. This is a haven for golf lovers, with a fantastic 27-hole Jack Nicklaus-designed championship course to enjoy.
Beachside bliss
A jewel on the stunning Baja Peninsula, the resort is the ultimate beach break. The ocean, and all its adventures, are on your doorstep here. Charter a private vessel and explore the Gulf of Cortez, either on a day of sport fishing or simply to take in the views.
The waters here are known for whale watching year-round, though we recommend visiting between December and April for the best chance to see the amazing creatures. Head out on an expedition with an expert to spot grey, humpback and even blue whales.
Wonderful wellness
The vast 2,000 square metre spa has both indoor and outdoor treatment areas, and offers a range of facials, massages and treatments designed to enhance your sense of wellness.
"The resort even has a resident Shaman, who leads guests through traditional Mexican rituals and holistic traditions. For example, the ancient Mayan temazcal ritual is a total body experience that dates back to the pre-Hispanic era in Mexico."
Foodie feasts
A quartet of elegant restaurants means every meal at One&Only Palmilla is a new and delightful experience. Gaze over the Sea of Cortez from Agua, where a menu of Mexican-Mediterranean fusion is served. Then there’s poolside breakfasts at Breeze, which also serves local comfort food classics at dinnertime.
Indulge in sushi and ceviche at Mexican-Japanese restaurant Suviche, where sophisticated elegance meets cutting-edge innovation. Don’t miss Seared by One&Only, the signature steak restaurant perfect for a special occasion.
Private dining is an amazing way to elevate your entire holiday experience. The resort chefs will consult you to design your dream menu, which you can enjoy in your private room, suite or villa; around the pool; or even secluded in the beautiful chef’s garden.
