coming soon: One&Only branded luxury residences

Aug 16, 2018 Luxe Getaways

Nestled along a one-mile stretch of pristine beach, Mandarina is the most significant new resort and residential community to grace the shores of Mexico in decades and will draw the most discerning buyers and travelers from around the world to Riviera Nayarit. Just under one hour north of Puerto Vallarta, Mandarina will feature one of the world’s first collections of One&Only branded residences, designed by the renowned Rick Joy Architects. One&Only Private Homes will debut alongside One&Only Mandarina, Rosewood Residences and Rosewood Mandarina, as well as the world-class Mandarina Polo and Equestrian Club replete with state-of-the-art polo grounds, dressage and jumping arenas, stables and more.

 

The long and storied history of the land, which encompasses soaring mountain peaks, sandy shores, rolling green flatlands and a lush, tropical jungle, is ever present and preserved at Mandarina. Each evening as the sun sets, a fire will light at the end of The Jetty, which stretches out across the blue ocean, symbolizing the center of a long-dormant volcano that created this dramatic landscape many years ago. Amidst the enduring natural wonder, an extraordinary destination awaits, offering world-class cuisine, blissful wellness, tailored adventures, endless exploration and unforgettable experiences for guests of all ages.

 

LOCATION

 

Mandarina is situated along the pristine Riviera Nayarit, a nearly 200-mile stretch of coastline in the Western Mexican State of Nayarit, between the forested mountains of the Sierra Madre Occidental and the Pacific Ocean. Offering absolute privacy, Mandarina is a less than one-hour drive from the Puerto Vallarta International Airport, which welcomes thousands of passengers daily from U.S., Canadian and Mexican cities as well as a host of other global destinations.

 

Just a short 15-minute drive south of Mandarina is the quaint seaside town of Sayulita. Known for its premier surfing, Sayulita’s streets bustle with activity where scores of visitors enjoy casual to fine dining. Local craftsmen offer artisanal, handmade gifts and goods and unique fashion boutiques line the winding cobbled streets.

 

ONE&ONLY PRIVATE HOMES

 

Among the first collection of One&Only villas to own in the world, One&Only Private Homes at Mandarina features 55 villas offering innovative, contemporary architecture that harmonizes eloquently with the landscape. Designed by Rick Joy Architects, each villa is architecturally unique and envisioned specifically for its location along the southern peak to capture the most favorable ocean views. Four, five and eight-bedroom floor plans range in size from approximately 7,500 to 13,500 square feet, providing a genuine sense of indoor/outdoor living with interior spaces connecting seamlessly to terrace, pool and garden areas. Featuring an infinity-edged pool overlooking the jungle, coastline and ocean, each villa is nestled into the lush, tropical surroundings and masterfully positioned for privacy and peace. The 108-room One&Only Mandarina will debut in Winter 2019/2020.

ARCHITECT

Rick Joy Architects, based in Tucson, Arizona, is Mandarina’s architect. His award-winning practice has extensive experience with lifestyle-based projects, including the acclaimed Amangiri resort in Utah. He is renowned for climate responsive and landscape sensitive work, making buildings that belong in their place. At Mandarina, the design stems from a detailed site analysis, investigating the geology, climate, views, availability of local materials and ‘the building culture of place.’ To understand how the site influenced previous lifestyles, the team looked at how people have lived in this area over time. The result is architecture that is at one with the site and its heritage.
