Family travelers looking for a new and exciting stay should check out Rosewood Mandarina. The property opened this past May in Riviera Nayarit, Mexico, and is already one of the country’s most exciting family-friendly destinations. This hotel encourages young travelers to participate and become part of the region’s cultural richness, as well as combining luxury, relaxation and discovery into one trip.

 

The all-suite property is home to 134 luxury accommodations, each featuring a private plunge pool, outdoor terrace with ocean or Sierra Madre mountain views, and furnishings crafted by local artisans.

Children are invited to spend time at The Rosewood Mandarina Explorers Club, inspired by the indigenous Huichol legend of Tunuri and the Blue Deer. Here, children will go on an adventure through nature and local heritage to encourage curiosity and promote environmental awareness. The adventure includes hands-on activities such as nature hikes, water adventures, fossil searching, sustainability workshops and other cultural field trips.

 

The resort also incorporates wellness for all ages throughout the stay. Families can enjoy child-friendly spa treatments at Asaya Spa, fitness activities inspired by local wildlife, surfing, horseback riding, zip lining, wildlife watching and encounters on protected grounds.

 

Additionally, the resort offers four oceanfront pools, a state-of-the-art fitness center, and access to Mandarina Polo & Equestrian Club and The Mandarina Golf Club.

Additionally, they offer excellent connectivity between several cities in the United States and European hot spots. Even better, the airline offers perks for families, including discounted fares for children, activity boxes and special meals.
