The colder months after the holiday season can feel endless, and you may be aching for an escape to somewhere warm and sunny, even if it’s just for a long weekend. Mexico has always been a destination for travelers seeking an idyllic escape without the long travel days in between. Travelers are also looking for hidden gems, secluded getaways, and unique destinations beyond the frequently visited spots. With hotel partners like One&Only – whose brand is centered around creating unique havens that evoke a sense of place and serenity – your Mexican getaway is sure to be unforgettable. From the sandy beaches of Los Cabos to the secluded jungles of Lo De Marcos, a stay at their luxurious properties will leave you longing to return.
Nestled between the golden sands of Baja California and the azure waters of the Sea of Cortez sits One&Only Palmilla, the ultimate beach escape from the chill of winter. With panoramic views of the stunning Los Cabos landscapes and access to one of the region’s few swimmable beaches, this resort encompasses everything good about a beach getaway and brings the atmosphere of the region into every aspect of the property. Head out on the water aboard a private yacht to go whale-watching or dive beneath the surface on a scuba excursion and spot sharks and manta rays. Closer to shore, you can enjoy activities like surfing, kayaking, and paddle boarding or simply unwind with a fruity drink in one of the resort’s private beach cabanas. An added perk: Palmilla has specially curated experiences for every type of traveler, from couples to families, ensuring you get the most out of your getaway. Whether you wish for an intimate beach picnic and private tequila tasting or a fun cooking class to do with your kids, the possibilities are endless. For those looking to enjoy everything Los Cabos has to offer, head into town to stroll through the galleries in the San José del Cabo Art District before enjoying the nightlife at one of the local cocktail bars.
One&Only Palmilla’s philosophy is centered around rest and relaxation, in whatever form you choose. For some, it may be lounging by the pool all day before enjoying a meal at the resort’s signature restaurant SEARED. For others, it may be experiencing the traditional Mexican rituals and wellness therapies at the infamous spa. Partake in their collection of facials, peels, and other holistic skin treatments designed specifically for you, or go all in with one of the full body rituals in a private cabana and leave feeling revitalized. Make the most of your time by unwinding in one of the spa’s many plunge pools or swinging day beds. Need a little more action in your relaxation? Head to the Palmilla Golf Club and tee up at the award-winning Jack Nicklaus Signature course. Practice your swing at their Driving Range or simply hop in your cart and take in the views along the 27-hole Arroyo, Mountain, and Ocean course.
Embracing the artistic and bohemian lifestyle of the region, One&Only Palmilla celebrates the vibrancy of Los Cabos by inspiring guests’ creativity with the colorful touches and design within the resort and through a variety of experiences. Whether you’re a regular Picasso, an aspiring creative, or a mere observer, head to the resort’s Art Lab to discover new and exciting creations from local artisans, ranging from sculpture to watercolor. Head to San Jose del Cabo to meet local artists and see the streets decked out in masterpieces as colorful and vibrant as the locals. For an authentic Mexican experience that is equally artistic as it is healing, experience a traditional healing ritual inspired by the ancient Mayans or a guided purification meditation to center both the mind and body.
Tucked away among emerald mountains in Riviera Nayarit, One&Only Mandarina offers the perfect blend of jungle seclusion and beach escape that entices guests to unplug and reconnect with nature. Take in the sights and sounds of the lush rainforest from your choice of cliffside villa or luxury treehouse that coexists with the natural landscape. There aren’t many places where you can feel hidden away in a tropical rainforest before stepping straight onto white sandy beaches or into crystal clear waters. Tastefully designed with the environment in mind, One&Only Mandarina is the ideal retreat for the eco-conscious traveler without sacrificing five-star luxuries and elegant interiors. Beyond the accommodations, the resort boasts a plethora of activities on land and out at sea. Within some of the best waters in Mexico, you can enjoy diving over volcanic rocks, head out on a private catamaran for a day of fishing or whale watching, or join the resort’s Tropicsurf Pros for surfing sessions. On land, head into the lush rainforests to discover the natural beauty of the landscape through bike trails, nature walks, and guided tours of the ancient ruins that surround the area. However you wish to spend your getaway, the experiences are endless.
Perhaps you are looking for a romantic hideaway for an anniversary trip or honeymoon. Or maybe you wish for a family getaway that allows you to unplug and live in the present moment. One&Only Mandarina’s strategic location perfectly balances unparalleled seclusion with the deluxe service and elegant atmosphere the One&Only brand is known for. Tucked away among some of Mexico’s untouched coastline (a rare sight), there are still plenty of unique experiences for you and your loved ones to enjoy. Spend your days at the beach with opportunities to kayak, paddleboard, and snorkel in the calm waters of Riviera Nayarit. For a bit more adrenaline, head to the sporting fields for a friendly game of tennis or pickleball before trying your hand at archery with the help of the resort’s expert instructors. A visit to the infamous Mandarina Polo & Equestrian Club is a must – whether you simply watch a thrilling polo match or try the game for yourself with polo classes.
Surrounded by volcanic rocks, pineapple fields, and lush cliffsides, it’s no surprise One&Only Mandarina imbues the stunning landscapes into every aspect of their resort. From outdoor activities to the brand’s iconic spa, guests can’t help but feel an overwhelming connection with the natural beauty around them. Venture into the jungle with an expert guide to the ancient 500-year-old tree named “La Abuela” while discovering the sacred species of plants, birds, and butterflies that call the region home. Center yourself at the infamous spa and be enriched with the sound of crashing waves while doing outdoor yoga, experience a relaxing massage among the foliage complete with volcanic clay treatments, or be led through guided meditations with their spiritual guides.
