In partnership with RLH Properties, owners can now completely customize their private residences.

It feels like every day brings more news of another leader in luxury hospitality unveiling branded residences in yet another corner of the world – and that’s no exaggeration. A 2023 report by Knight Frank projected a 12% growth in the branded residences market by 2026, and while we haven’t run the numbers ourselves, considering the seemingly endless parade of new developments rising in mega-cities, it’s easy to believe.

Branded residences are appealing for the security and service of a trusted hospitality name, but they often lack true personalization. That’s about to change. One&Only Resorts, in partnership with RLH Properties, now offers owners the chance to design custom homes at its ultra-luxurious Mandarina resort on Mexico’s Pacific Coast.

One&Only Mandarina already features an exclusive collection of four- to 10-bedroom private residences, priced between $6m and $18.5m. Just like the pictured completed residences at Mandarina, designed by architect Rick Joy, these properties already allow for a choice of curated or bespoke furnishing options. This new initiative, however, takes customization to the next level, enabling owners to fully design their residences before construction even begins.

There are 10 lots available, situated on Mandarina’s famed mountaintops. Just moments from the resort, these lots offer breathtaking vistas: the Pacific Ocean’s endless blue, the equestrian and golf landscapes of The Flatlands, and the lush Sierra Madre Occidental cliffs. Lot sizes range from 9,514 to 13,670 sq ft, with prices starting at $2.85m.

Future owners will collaborate directly with RLH Properties and One&Only, working alongside top architects and designers to create homes that reflect their tastes while harmonizing with Mandarina’s overall aesthetic. Custom features, such as the addition of private gyms or workspaces, can be incorporated to meet any desire.

“We are thrilled to offer buyers the option to build their dream home at Mandarina,” said Kappner Clark, executive vice president of sales and marketing at RLH Properties. “While we’ve always welcomed customizations for our One&Only Mandarina Private Homes, this marks the first time residents can collaborate with leading design and architecture firms, alongside One&Only and RLH Properties, to create a residence from start to finish. We’re excited to provide this new level of personalization at such an incredible destination.”

Ownership at Mandarina comes with more than just a bespoke home. Residents gain access to the resort’s world-class amenities, including fine dining, beach clubs, spas, water sports, and the Mandarina Polo & Equestrian Club with its state-of-the-art polo grounds, stables, and riding trails. Next year, the Mandarina Golf Club will debut a Greg Norman-designed 10-hole short course, inspired by some of the world’s most iconic courses.
