Mexico honeymoon at Mandarina

A honeymoon is more than just a holiday; it marks the start of your lifelong journey together. Choosing the right destination is essential to ensure every moment feels unforgettable, intimate, and completely tailored to you as a couple. If you’re dreaming of a Mexico honeymoon that blends wild natural beauty, hospitality, and complete privacy, Mandarina is the place where it all comes together.

Mandarina is a one-of-a-kind coastal destination on Mexico’s Riviera Nayarit, set along a rare stretch of jungle-covered coastline less than an hour from Puerto Vallarta International Airport. Here, you’ll find two extraordinary resorts—One&Only Mandarina and Rosewood Mandarina—along with private residences, pristine beaches, and immersive experiences designed with romance in mind.

From the moment you arrive, you’re surrounded by dramatic cliffs, lush rainforest, and sweeping ocean views that create a cinematic backdrop for your love story.

One&Only Mandarina and Rosewood Mandarina: honeymoon havens like no other

Imagine waking up to the sound of waves rolling in below the cliffs, wrapped in soft linens, with the jungle canopy outside your terrace and the Pacific horizon in the distance. At Mandarina, your honeymoon begins in an environment that feels private and remote, yet comes with every comfort you could wish for.

One&Only Mandarina is a sanctuary suspended between jungle and sea, with standalone treehouses and cliff-top villas that were designed to blur the line between indoors and out. Private plunge pools, terraces with daybeds, open-air showers, and panoramic views make each space feel like its own hidden world—perfect for couples who want seclusion without sacrificing service or style.

Rosewood Mandarina, recently opened, within the same master-planned destination, offers a complementary take on honeymoon. With a strong sense of place, residential-style suites and villas, thoughtful design, and Rosewood’s signature intuitive service, it will provide another beautiful way for couples to experience Mandarina—equally romantic, but with its own distinct atmosphere.

Together, One&Only Mandarina and Rosewood Mandarina make this corner of Riviera Nayarit one of the most compelling honeymoon destinations in Mexico.
