Daytime at Mandarina
We planned the weekend so you have the days to yourself. Sleep in, wander, float, snack, spa, or do absolutely nothing before we meet again at 6:00 PM.
Our Favorite Pool
The spa pool is our favorite spot on property. The spa pool, sauna, steam room, and cold plunge are accessible without booking a spa treatment.
Carao Adult Pool
The adult pool is at Carao. It is a beautiful place to spend a slower afternoon before getting ready for the evening.
Beach Club Days
One&Only has its own Jetty Beach Club, plus access to the shared beach club. Keep your eyes open on the ride; we saw what we are pretty sure was a crocodile on the way.
Rosewood Next Door
Rosewood Mandarina is the neighboring property. Ask the concierge what restaurants, bars, or beach moments are available to visit during your stay.
Move Through the Jungle
If you want more than pool time, ask about guided hikes, yoga, water activities, or the resort's jungle experiences.
Stay Soft
Also a very valid itinerary: breakfast, pool, nap, beach towel, book, after-sun lotion, repeat. The weekend should feel like a vacation too.
