One&Only Mandarina

Any expectations you have of traditional Mexican beach resorts go right out the floor to ceiling window at the One&Only Mandarina, where you can book design-forward “treehouse” rooms lofted some 39 feet off the ground. This is anything but Swiss Family Robinson; each hideaway is a whopping 854-square-feet, fitted with a private plunge pool, terrace and—yes—doting host service. Want to spread out even more? Book the 2,256-square-foot Villa Banderas, fitted with sweeping terraces and rain showers both indoors and out. Adventurers will love that this property has a fleet of Instagrammy activities at-the-ready, including everything from a polo club to rainforest zip lines.

A ultra-luxury wellness retreat slung between undeveloped rainforest and frothy sea, with a holistic spa.

Run-of-the-mill Mexico. Expect jaw-dropping architecture and design, from the yoga palapa to the KidsOnly Club private tree house.

You eat local as much as you can—so why shouldn’t you “spa” local? One&Only Spa utilizes produce culled sustainably from regional farms and forests in their treatments, many of which were inspired by the indigenous people.

Reclined on a lounge along a cliff top infinity pool, wind in your hair, the ocean splayed out before you, you’d feel a bit like the Riviera Nayarit luckiest Frigatebird—if not for the cocktail in your hand. #Heaven.
