One&Only Mandarina

Puerto Vallarta, Mexico

One&Only Mandarina

Nestled amidst the Mexican rainforest along the cliffs of the Riviera Nayarit, this residence unfolds in harmony with the lush vegetation that embraces it. Built with a sense of humility, its villas and treehouses blend regional wood, volcanic stone, and vast picture windows that melt into the outdoors. This sensation of living right within the canopy extends to the dining experience at Carao, where Chef Enrique Olvera reinterprets the traditions of Mexico’s Pacific coast, notably with his pescado zarandeado. Beyond the mangroves, sun-seekers will love the long stretch of beach known as The Jetty, with its turquoise waters. Guests return to the forest to savour a Boxha, a cocktail blending agave and coffee, at the Treetop bar, perched high among the trees.
