"A relaxing, spouse-free weekend at the One&Only Mandarina resort in Mexico, enjoying ocean swims and resort amenities."

"Just when you think all beach resorts are made alike, One&Only Mandarina begs to differ. Nestled in the lush hills of Mexico’s Riviera Nayarit—where jaguars skulk in the shadows, colorful birds fly overhead, and the gentle sound of the Pacific urges bone-deep relaxation—One & Only makes it easy to find the big red reset button you’ve been looking for. There’s a traditional temazcal sweat lodge experience at the spa, surfing on a private beach, and even a restaurant that has an Enrique Olvera–designed menu that would draw major crowds in a big city: Carao. Ultimately, though, it’s forgetting about the outside world that is the draw—and promise—of spending a few days here. From $1,290. —Megan Spurrell" - CNT Editors

"And don’t miss the temazcal ceremony — a Mesoamerican sweat lodge ritual that purifies the mind and body with herbal steam — at One&Only Mandarina’s spa set in a volcanic rock garden." - Zachary Rabinor
