"Nestled in Riviera Nayarit hills where jaguars and colorful birds inhabit the landscape, One&Only Mandarina emphasizes forgetting the outside world via experiences like temazcal sweat lodges, surfing on a private beach, and chef-driven dining (Carao by Enrique Olvera). Its lush setting and promise of deep relaxation make it a distinctive reset destination." - CNT Editors
