One&Only Mandarina - Private Home 16

Overview

Private Home 16~

Discover ultimate seclusion and fabulous sea views at serene Private Home 16, which is tucked away in a peaceful pocket of the resort, amid mountains and tropical foliage, accessed by a private road. Spanning two airy buildings designed with sophisticated elegance and flair, this contemporary Private Home 16 has five retreat-style bedrooms overlooking the sparkling ocean and tranquil valley.

Private Home 16 is rooted in its setting. The calming terracotta, taupe, and azure color scheme reflect the shifting hues of the local landscape. Native, indigenous materials pay sartorial tribute to the region. Throughout the emphasis is on Mother Nature and outdoor living, with panoramic terraces, al fresco dining and lounging areas, a barbecue, and an ocean-view infinity pool, surrounded by greenery.

Woven seamlessly into the diverse, dramatic vistas of one of Mexico’s awe-inspiring coastal rainforests in Rivera Nayarit, One&Only Mandarina provides both chic treehouse seclusion and sweeping, clifftop villas. Palm-fringed sands, emerald cliffsides, and swimmable shores nurture an ultra-stylish environment, consciously crafted for human connection. 

With endless room to roam, airy terraces, private swimming pools, and ultra-luxe comforts, One&Only Mandarina’s Private Homes are Riviera Nayarit’s ultimate retreats. Nestled high above the beach and Mandarina flatlands, these majestic Mexican villas are tailor-made for group gatherings, enhanced by the lush natural setting with lofty Pacific Ocean views.
