One&Only Mandarina opens with exclusive green spa experiences by Tata Harper

30 Nov 2020 One&Only has unveiled a brand new luxury beachfront retreat in Riviera Nayarit, Mexico, with a spa partnered with premium natural product house, Tata Harper Skincare.

Overlooking the Pacific Ocean with a beachfront rainforest setting, One&Only Mandarina features 105 secluded eco-designed treehouses and cliff-top villas, plus a selection of One&Only-branded private homes to buy or rent.

The new spa sits in a natural volcanic rock garden, featuring six secluded treatment rooms, all cocooned beneath the jungle canopy observed through skylights.

At the heart of the facility is a large Higuera tree framing the relaxation garden, with treatment rooms and a mud therapy facility positioned around its roots.

The One&Only Spa is the first and only spa to introduce Tata Harper’s Sensorial Resets, a multi-sensorial collection of curated treatments to elevate the traditional wellness experience.

The journeys are designed to simultaneously elevate the skin condition, bodily vibrations and state of mind.

The spa menu offers Tata Harper’s Mystique Herbal Codex, a specialised treatment restoring balance by advancing stagnant energy and reinstating natural energy flow.

Additional treatments include a Kayuma Cleansing Ceremony, Native Clay Remedy, Plant Based Hydration Facial and a Healthy Glow Facial.

“The resort’s ancient healing approach coupled with our products that are filled with the most potent organically grown ingredients, creates a transformative spa experience unique to the destination and resort,” said Tata Harper, co-founder and co-CEO of Tata Harper Skincare.

Guests are also offered uniquely local treatments inspired by indigenous and pre-Hispanic culture, including a traditional Temazcal combining medicinal herbs, heat, steam, indigenous music and copal incense to stimulate detoxification, heal the body and purify the mind.

“We’re thrilled to partner with Tata Harper Skincare – whose philosophy is very much in line with One&Only Mandarina, prioritising ethical consciousness and looking to nature for inspiration,” said Serge Ditesheim, GM, One&Only Mandarina.

Wellness facilities include a mud grotto, vitality pool, spa retail area and hydrotherapy circuit with cold plunge pools, plus steamroom and sauna, both with jungle views.

The spa journey is framed by expressions of sacred geometry created by Huicholes, one of the few indigenous communities that are prominent to the region of Riviera Nayarit.

With a layout based on an eight-point star, guests are immersed in the Huichol cosmo vision representing rebirth, renewal and spiritual regeneration.

The design overlaps two squares, creating duality which combines four elements – fire, pointing to the Temazcal; water, pointing to wet areas; air, pointing to the treatment rooms; and earth, pointing to the spa entrance.

The corners of the second square represent human existence, with spirit, pointing to the ocean; mind, pointing to the equilibrium pavilion; soul, pointing to the vitality area; and body, pointing to the treatment rooms.
