Surrounded by lush jungle, swimmable white-sand beaches and the federally protected Sierra del Vallejo Mountains, the resort offers rich biodiversity rarely found on the Pacific coast.
Gaze at mesmerising sunsets from elegant cliff-top lounges, as you sample authentic flavours of Mexico with a modern twist. Soak up the energy of buzzing beach clubs, sports grounds, and adventure hubs. And immerse yourself in the wilderness, exploring a myriad of nature trails and creatures of the deep.
Waves at One&Only Mandarina
With punchy beach breaks, hidden bays and endless point breaks Nayarit has tons of options for experienced surfers, while the secluded crystal-clear waters bay of the resort is the perfect place to learn the basics of surfing!
Nayarit gets swells all-year-round from a variety of directions. The long period NW swells of the winter (Nov-Mar) is the best time to surf in this area, with fun small waves and clean offshore. March and April are usually windy before summer pushes in long period S-SW swells in the 4-8ft range, the perfect direction for the northern lefthand breaks.
