Set amidst the untamed beauty of Riviera Nayarit’s mega-diverse landscape and nearly 200 miles of untouched Pacific shoreline, Rosewood Mandarina offers an immersive experience across three distinct ecosystems: whether perched atop the lush mountain with sweeping ocean vistas, nestled along the pristine Canalan beachfront, or situated on the sprawling agrarian flatlands at the resort’s heart, guests are called to connect with the region’s dreamlike environment in a deeply personal way. Owned by developer RLH Properties, this resort represents Rosewood’s fourth property in Mexico and a landmark opening for the brand’s esteemed portfolio. With great reverence for its surroundings and cultural heritage, Rosewood Mandarina weaves local storytelling into every element of the guest experience.
Each of the 134 ultra-luxurious accommodations—including three specialty suites and two expansive standalone villas—offers a private plunge pool, expansive terraces, and bespoke design elements crafted in collaboration with local artisans to honor the region’s rich heritage. For the pinnacle of rarefied luxury, the Canalan Beachfront Villa and the Cora Four Bedroom Mountaintop Villa provide unparalleled space, privacy, and breathtaking views, complete with infinity pools that blend effortlessly into the horizon.
As part of the celebrated Mandarina development, the resort offers an array of curated experiences, from exhilarating surfing and ziplining to horseback riding and spirited polo matches at the Mandarina Equestrian Club, while the Mandarina Golf Club opened April 1st. Rosewood Mandarina invites guests on a gastronomic journey that celebrates regional flavors across multiple dining venues, all paying homage to the region’s fascinating culinary heritage and time-honored ingredients. Guests can savor soulful Mexican fare at La Cocina just steps from the shore of the Pacific Ocean or relax with good vibes and coastal Spanish cuisine on the beach at Buena Onda. Later this year, guests can experience the refined artistry of Toppu, an elegant Japanese fine-dining restaurant at the top of the mountain, or sip craft cocktails at the hidden cliffside Barra Peñasco. The property’s four serene oceanfront pools, state-of-the-art fitness center, and signature Asaya Spa invite guests to enjoy unparalleled relaxation, while younger visitors can engage in enriching, destination-inspired programming at Rosewood Explorers kids’ club.
Culturally Rooted Design
Drawing inspiration from the ultra-diverse landscape of Riviera Nayarit, Rosewood Mandarina’s design—led by Caroline Meersseman of Bando x Seidel Meersseman—merges modern luxury with the serenity of its extraordinary surroundings. Led by a deep understanding of how the region’s culture and natural environment are intimately intertwined, Meersseman and her team have thoughtfully conceived the entire property to blend harmoniously with the landscape and the region’s centuries-old traditions. The resort’s furnishings and decorative elements celebrate the artistry of the region’s Indigenous Huichol and Cora peoples, incorporating traditional techniques and styles in a way that showcases their profound cultural influence.
