20. Playa Canalán, Nayarit
Playa Canalán is a long, wide stretch of warm, white sand bookended by lush, jungle-covered mountains. Until recently, it was completely undeveloped. Today, it’s home to the well-known One&Only Mandarina resort, the popular Canalan Beach Club, and the noteworthy Italian restaurant named Allora. These are all part of Mandarina, a newly planned community that occupies some of the most coveted real estate on the coast.
One&Only Mandarina is an all-villa resort offering 105 striking standalone structures consisting of cliff-top villas and treehouses. It’s located less than one hour north of Puerto Vallarta on Riviera Nayarit. The resort opened its doors on November 1, 2020, and offers both adventurous activities and secluded tranquility.
