#01 Most Architecturally Exciting, Pacific Coast · Tree Treehouse Villas In A Rainforest Cliffside
The most architecturally exciting resort on the Pacific coast — the one design lovers should fly for.
One&Only Mandarina is, in my words on the featured destinations page, the most architecturally exciting resort on Mexico's Pacific coast: treehouse-style villas folded into a rainforest cliffside where the jungle runs straight down to the sea.
Mexico's Pacific coast is the easiest luxury escape in the Americas — short flights, no jet lag — and it splits into two personalities: Los Cabos brings drama and energy, while Punta Mita and the Riviera Nayarit bring lush, quiet polish. Mandarina is the artistic peak of that second category.
For design-minded couples especially, this is the property I compare to Gundari in Greece — architecture in conversation with a dramatic landscape, and worth choosing for that reason alone.
Work with me and you get two things: Fora perks, and someone who knows Mandarina personally. As a Fora advisor, my clients receive a space-available upgrade, daily breakfast, and a hotel credit. I know the property and the team, so I personalize your stay, from the room I request to what’s arranged before you arrive, and I’m your direct line to them while you’re there. Rates are identical to booking direct.
Mandarina earned its place on my list. Let me match you to the right room, time it to the right season, and build the rest of the trip around it.
