Bathed by the Pacific Ocean, nestled in a tropical rainforest and framed by volcanic mountains, One&Only Mandarina is an ode to nature, designed as an open-air sanctuary and a celebration of Mexico’s cultural heritage. 
Tucked into the Riviera Nayarit forest near Punta Mia, this hotel beckons us to connect with our inner selves.

With its intelligent and sustainable design and architecture, this project, signed by Studio Rick Joy, demonstrates an obvious respect for the surrounding environment, harmonised with the buildings that comprise the resort, spa, private villas and equestrian polo club. This resort, located on the edge of the ocean planted with its 105 independent villas and tree houses scattered in the dense jungle that embraces them, is a dynamic experience designed so that “those who visit feel the timelessness of nature and the uniqueness of this place”.

Following an invitation from RLH Properties, and in collaboration with FRB Architecture, JSa and Broissin Architects first formed a multidisciplinary and international team to create what they would describe as a “sensory experience”. The unique landscape – shaped by the team of landscape architects Entorno - Taller de Paisaje and Maat Handasa S.C. – and the lighting developed in close collaboration with Concept Lighting Lab, blend in a symbiosis between the detailed interiors and customized furniture created by the Rick Joy team to create a unified atmosphere. Meanwhile Studio Caban was involved in the implementation of the adaptations for the private homeowners.
