Rosewood Mandarina Opens its Doors in Riviera Nayarit

Rosewood Mandarina has officially opened its doors in Riviera Nayarit, marking a new chapter in high-end hospitality in Mexico. Nestled in a natural sanctuary encompassing three ecosystems—mountains, plains, and beach—this resort redefines luxury by intimately integrating it with nature, local culture, and a profound sensory experience.

After nearly a decade of meticulous planning, the opening of Rosewood Mandarina not only represents the arrival of the brand’s fourth property in Mexico but also the consolidation of a conscious hospitality model that celebrates the identity of the place. Conceived as a haven of suites that honors the surroundings and traditions of the region, the resort was developed by RLH Properties as part of the exclusive Mandarina resort complex.

A PLACE WHERE ECOSYSTEMS INTERTWINE
Situated along 300 kilometers of coastline in the Riviera Nayarit, Rosewood Mandarina offers an immersive experience within three distinct landscapes: the mountain peaks with ocean views, Canalán Beach, and the open plains of the complex.

ARCHITECTURE THAT BREATHES CULTURE
The architectural design of Rosewood Mandarina was led by Caroline Meersseman of the Bando x Seidel Meersseman studio, who envisioned a space that embraces the diversity of the Nayarit territory with contemporary elegance. Every corner of the resort was conceived to coexist with the landscape and pay tribute to indigenous cultures, particularly the Huichol and Cora peoples.

Handicrafts crafted with traditional techniques—such as beadwork, embroidery, and natural fiber weaving—live alongside modern furniture, creating a unique atmosphere where local art takes center stage. Noteworthy is the welcome pavilion, whose rope installations reflect the ancestral Cora assembly practices, evoking a powerful sense of place from the very first moment.

HOSPITALITY AT ITS FINEST
Rosewood Mandarina offers 134 luxury suites, including three signature suites and two independent villas, all featuring private plunge pools and expansive terraces. These spaces have been designed to create total harmony between comfort, personalized design, and connection with the environment.

GASTRONOMY THAT HONORS THE LAND
Rosewood Mandarina also proposes a culinary journey as sophisticated as it is authentic. Each gastronomic space in the resort pays homage to Mexico’s culinary heritage and regional ingredients. La Cocina, the signature restaurant located by the sea, offers traditional Mexican cuisine in a relaxed ambiance.

WELL-BEING AND EXPLORATION AS A PHILOSOPHY
The range of experiences at Rosewood Mandarina is as diverse as its geography. The Asaya Spa, the brand’s signature wellness concept, offers personalized and holistic treatments in a serene setting. With therapies inspired by ancestral traditions and local botanicals, this sanctuary of well-being invites a profound reconnection between body, mind, and spirit.

For those seeking physical activity or outdoor adventures, the resort features four ocean-front pools, a modern fitness center, and access to multiple experiences within the Mandarina complex: from surfing, zip-lining, and horseback riding, to polo tournaments at the Mandarina Polo & Equestrian Club, and rounds of golf at the exclusive Mandarina Golf Club.

A DESTINATION THAT TRANSFORMS
With its opening, Rosewood Mandarina not only adds another jewel to Mexico’s portfolio of world-class hospitality but also celebrates the uniqueness of Riviera Nayarit: a destination where tradition, biodiversity, and design intertwine to create a unique and deeply inspiring experience.
