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.

Why We Love One&Only Mandarina

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!

We booked a trip to Niyama Maldives (13 - 20 May 2022) with Awave.

Before deciding to go to Niyama I had close contact with Giulia about what would be the best resort for that season. Giulia responded almost immediately and gave us good and detailled advice about the surf and of course also about the resort.

We had a great trip! The resort was just prefect as well as the service! Unfortunately the waves were a bit choppy and the wind cross/ onshore, but that's mother nature....... (and May is a very difficult month for the Maldives). We still surfed every day in fun size waves and had a great time.

Would definitely recommend Niyama as well as booking with Awave!

Great communication, fantastic care and attention from James who is very knowledgeable and approachable, and the product recommended to us as an alternative, Ayada, was a real paradise. We had very high expectations and we were really impressed with everything (apart from the the quality of the surfboards for hire). :)
