OO Mandarina - In the media

Even as the summer comes to a close, the luxury real estate market in coastal Mexico is staying hot. An oceanfront villa housed in the ultra-luxury resort, One&Only Mandarina, has sold for a record-breaking $17.5 million, continuing a string of $10 million-plus sales in the Riviera Nayarit region.

One&Only Mandarina Private Homes provides ultra-luxurious villas to wealthy world travelers who want a Mexican getaway that feels like home. Dubbed Villa 38, the momentous home was purchased by a Boston-based partner at a private equity fund who was reportedly drawn to the natural beauty and secluded location of the lot. This sale uppends the previous record set by the $16,700,000 sale of a single-family home at Punta Mita Resort in 2019.
