Majahua Beach Club & Jetty

office: studio rick joy

type: hospitality

location: riviera nayarit, mexico

Majahua Beach Club is a dining and lounging destination nestled along a sandy and secluded cove in the heart of Mandarina.  Incorporating a multi-level design, the beach club steps down in six different and unique levels: A rooftop lounge with commanding ocean views above, a covered dining terrace with outdoor prep-kitchen below, a wide poolside lounge with bali beds beneath, and two tiers of stepped pools and a shade platform that cascade down towards the beach.  Each unique level is tied together with a wide, continuous stair that follows the contours of the steep ocean-side landscape.

Responsibilities: I was the lead designer for the Majahua Beach Club and worked closely with a small team to develop the building from schematic design to construction drawings.

Location

The Majahua Beach Club is part of the larger Mandarina, One & Only Resort located along the pacific coast of Nayarit, Mexico. Nestled between two hills, the Majahua Beach sits at the threshold of lush jungle interiors and vast open ocean scenes.
