Valentine’s Day is just around the corner, and what better way to celebrate love than with a romantic, tropical getaway? I recently had the pleasure of visiting two spectacular resorts in Punta Mita, Mexico, One&Only Mandarina and Susurros del Corazón, and I’m so excited to share why they’re perfect for couples, honeymooners, or anyone looking to make memories that will last a lifetime.
One & Only Mandarina: A Hidden Gem in the Jungle
If you’re looking for a hideaway in nature that still features all the luxuries and comforts of a world-class resort, One&Only Mandarina is calling your name. Nestled in lush jungle, this cliffside retreat overlooking the Pacific Ocean could not be more picturesque.
The resort emphasizes wellness and nature, making it the perfect location to unplug and recharge. It felt like an exclusive oasis, complete with a dedicated host to cater to my every need and chauffeur me around in a golf cart. It’s hard to ask for more, but O&O delivered. With seven pools, cooking and mixology classes, and outdoor activities like tennis, archery, zip lining, and polo, you’ll never run out of things to do.
I stayed in one of the resort's unique private treehouse suites, which are perfect for those seeking seclusion and serenity on their romantic escape. Feeling like I was right in the jungle canopy, I was able to enjoy ocean views from my terrace and heated plunge pool. In the mornings I was greeted by beautiful tropical birds, and in the evenings, I watched the sunset over the ocean with a cocktail in hand.
One last thing that blew me away was the spa. Built in perfect harmony with the surrounding old-growth trees, the resort spa is a tranquil sanctuary. Find everything from soothing treatments to steam rooms, saunas, a cold plunge, and even a complimentary mud mask experience – perfect for unwinding together! Add in the delicious, farm-to-table dining and you’ve got the ultimate romantic retreat.
Susurros del Corazón: A Boutique Beachside Escape
Next, I want to tell you about Susurros del Corazón, or “Whispers of the Heart” in English. Every corner of this thoughtfully decorated resort radiates warmth, charm, and artistry with its furniture and textiles made by local artisans. The hospitality here is truly exceptional, with every detail thoughtfully curated to create an intimate, boutique experience.
Whether you’re relaxing by the adults-only pool with a swim-up bar, taking a salsa dancing class, or indulging in a couple’s spa treatment, Susurros del Corazón provides everything you need for a perfect day, every day. The resort’s experience offerings center around the philosophy of joyful wellness, luxury, and a playful spirit.
Each of the rooms and villas at Susurros del Corazón embrace the balance of nature with indoor-outdoor spaces. Garden-view casitas come with private plunge pools, perfect for a romantic dip. But for those who want to take it up a notch, the oceanfront cliffside studios offer unmatched views of the coastline, with luxurious oceanfront showers and tubs for an unforgettable and scenic bathing experience.
In a Nutshell...
If you’re looking to celebrate love in a place that blends natural beauty, adventure, and tranquility, both One&Only Mandarina and Susurros del Corazón are stunning choices. Whether you want to disconnect in the jungle or lounge on a sun-kissed beach, both resorts offer a luxurious escape that will leave you and your loved one feeling more connected than ever.
Do either of these resorts sound like the perfect romantic getaway? I’m happy to use my insider knowledge and connections to help you plan your dream escape!
