Brand New Eco-Haven in Riviera Nayarit

Flanked by lush jungle-clad mountains and the warm Pacific Ocean, One&Only Mandarina nestles in the heart of an intimate new destination set upon one of the last remaining coastal rainforests in Mexico. The resort is a hidden retreat in Riviera Nayarit, with palm-fringed white sands, swimmable shores, emerald cliffs and an energetic environment crafted for reconnection.

Intrinsically connected to the environment, One&Only Mandarina blends the best of chic resort living, tropical relaxation, and authentic outdoor adventure. Unwind in your spacious private sanctuary, set far from any other, where vistas of mountain and sea are uninterrupted.

The Resort

Just north of Punta Mita, One&Only Mandarina nestles within an intimate new community set upon a rare undeveloped coastline along the Riviera Nayarit. Surrounded by lush jungle, swimmable white-sand beaches and the federally protected Sierra del Vallejo Mountains, the resort offers rich biodiversity rarely found on the Pacific coast.

Gaze at mesmerising sunsets from elegant cliff-top lounges, as you sample authentic flavours of Mexico with a modern twist. Soak up the energy of buzzing beach clubs, sports grounds, and adventure hubs. And immerse yourself in the wilderness, exploring a myriad of nature trails and creatures of the deep.

Waves at One&Only Mandarina

With punchy beach breaks, hidden bays and endless point breaks Nayarit has tons of options for experienced surfers, while the secluded crystal-clear waters bay of the resort is the perfect place to learn the basics of surfing!

Nayarit gets swells all-year-round from a variety of directions. The long period NW swells of the winter (Nov-Mar) is the best time to surf in this area, with fun small waves and clean offshore. March and April are usually windy before summer pushes in long period S-SW swells in the 4-8ft range, the perfect direction for the northern lefthand breaks.

Crystal-clear waters and all-year-round quality waves for all surfing levels and tastes!

Luxurious wilderness in a chic and dreamy tropical hidden paradise!

The views from the treehouses and cliff-top villas are outstanding! And each room has a private plunge pool!

Giulia was incredibly helpful in booking our surf trip! Strongly recommend using AWAVE for any surf packages. We will definitely be contacting her again. Thank you!

Trip of a lifetime. First and foremost I'd like to thank James Colston from Awave Travel, for assisting me in every which way to help book one of the most memorable experiences I've had in my life. He was extremely responsive and answered every single question I had, even the dumb ones haha. As for AYADA, holy dooly, that place is paradise! Absolutely breathtaking, I couldn't believe I was actually walking around such a beautiful island! Big love to the staff at Magu Restaurant, seeing as how I ate there pretty much everyday, they were amazing! Very switched on and quick off the mark to help with anything that was needed. A special mention to Dhaboa and the captain who took me out surfing! I cannot speak highly enough about their friendly, helpful and straight up on point expertise. With Dhaboa picking the spots to surf and tips on where to sit to catch the best waves on the day, to the wonderful captain himself, filming and sending me videos of the waves I caught.
Absolute legends! Made my surf trip! Best holiday I've ever been on to this date.

Reliable travel agency to book a surf trip - Both Giulia and James were very reactive and adivsed on the best options. In our case we made a boat trip in Maldives. It is the second time we use Awave Travel to do a surftrip to Maldives and we have had a very good experience in both cases. They are a reliable and trustworthy travel agency, I highly recommend them.

Professional and Top Notch! From the moment we started planning our trip AWAVE was responsive and professional. We had a lot of back and forth picking the perfect location and resort and James and Giulia were patient and helpful. The resort we stayed at, AYADA in the Maldives, was beautiful and relaxing- great for families and couples! It was perfect for us- we have 1 surfer in the family, he was able to enjoy the waves and we also were able to enjoy the reef and snorkel as a family. Our kids loved the kids club and the private pool on the beach villas was amazing. The alcohol is expensive if you donโ€™t do full board but that is to be expected. Wonderful vacation and amazing travel agency! Definitely recommend!!

I've used Awave twice ... so far. This is the second time I've used Awave for a trip to the maldives. Stayed in 2 different resorts this time. They've always been incredibly prompt at replying and handled everything for us, making sure the 2 Resorts were in touch to get us transfered half way through our trip. At one of the resorts I even bumped into Giulia and Delia who were out there surfing at the time. There's no doubt in my mind that I'll use awave again if I'm booking a surf trip

Indonesia Surf Trip/ Java/Bali/Sumba - James Colston was my representative from AWAVE - Iโ€™m an older solo surfer and James was attentive, respectful, extremely responsive from the initial planning stages all the way through the booking. And he was so patient with all my crazy questions along the way. I couldnโ€™t have been more pleased with Jamesโ€™s level of service. Thank you James

Giulia was an amazing person to book with. I was overwhelmed with choices initially, but AWAVE knew their stuff and helped me with my options and even suggested delaying my trip so I could go to a certain hotel which ended up being the best decision I made all year.
