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!

My wife and I booked an 8 day surf charter on the Gahaa with a dedicated surf guide Moussa who was worth his weight in gold knowing what breaks would be firing and his knowledge of marine life and Maldivian environment enlightening for my wife and I. From the initial booking and contact Guilia at AWAVE made the whole process seamless communication was excellent. I have traveled extensively and surfed many parts of the world this trip truly exceeded my expectations the crew were incredible taking us to excellent surf and snorkeling locations. The boat itself is a converted fishing Dohni that exudes old world charm is clean and meticulously cared for. The meals prepared for us were nothing short of exceptional excellent variety and plenty of it a mix of western and Maldivian fare. We are definitely coming back and certainly using AWAVE again! Thank you Giulia and Moussa our trusted surf guide who gave us incredible insights into Maldivian culture.

Absolutely Recommended. Giulia and James are top professionals: I will be using Awave for all my future surf trips. I have been surfing for 30 years and travelled the world so I have dealt with a lot of agents. Awave is in the top spot as far as I am concerned. I spent 10 days with them on a boat trip in Maldivesโ€™ central atolls: not only their recommendations were spot on but being a boutique agency they tailor the surf experience to the very specific needs. They are surfers (real chargers) and know personally each spot and surf operator they recommend (wtether it is a guest house or a resort or a boat).

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.
