The world's finest One&Only resorts
Not all luxury resorts feel genuinely distinctive. One&Only does. Across its portfolio, you’ll find places that go far beyond polished service and good design, pairing remarkable settings with a strong sense of place. Think private reserves, dramatic coastlines, mountain retreats, and classic beach hideaways, all delivered with a level of care that feels considered rather than showy.
What makes One&Only so compelling is the way each resort feels entirely rooted in its setting. These aren’t interchangeable luxury stays, but places with real character, whether that means a clifftop escape in the Cyclades or a polished retreat on the shores of Los Cabos. You’ll find privacy, certainly, but also substance: thoughtful design, strong food and drink, and experiences that feel connected to where you are rather than added for effect. Here are some of our favourites to whet your appetite.
One&Only Kéa Island, Greece
Positioned on a spectacular cliffside in the Cyclades, One&Only Kéa Island provides a secluded coastal haven just a short private boat transfer from Athens. This resort caters specifically to those desiring Mediterranean indulgence away from heavily populated tourist paths and is known for its highly exclusive cliff villas, each offering private infinity pools, expansive outdoor lounging spaces, and panoramic views of the Aegean Sea. Guests can relax at the exclusive beach club or explore the surrounding waters on a private yacht charter which can be arranged by the resort concierge.
One&Only Portonovi, Montenegro
Set at the entrance to Boka Bay, a fjord-like paradise on Montenegro’s Adriatic Sea, this was the brand’s first resort in Europe and remains one of its most polished coastal addresses. It’s a strong option if you want a refined, yacht-focused atmosphere with serious wellness credentials. The architecture draws on classic Venetian influences, with grand façades, elegant colonnades, and a private beach that gives the whole resort a poised, settled feel. The resort is also home to the exclusive Chenot Espace, which offers advanced, bespoke wellness programmes and medical spa treatments tailored to your individual requirements.
One&Only Moonlight Basin, Montana, USA
Deep in Big Sky, Montana, this alpine retreat is a compelling option if you want seamless access to world-class skiing paired with a high level of comfort indoors. The design incorporates local timber and stone, creating a sophisticated mountain aesthetic with massive glass walls framing the rugged peaks. The private cabins provide secluded sanctuaries complete with hot tubs and epic views of the surrounding mountains (and staff to ensure your every need is met) while the suites offer cosy, ultra-luxe hideaways with nature-inspired décor to really ground you in the wilderness that surrounds this unforgettable resort.
One&Only Palmilla, Los Cabos, Mexico
Situated on the edge of the Baja Peninsula, One&Only Palmilla is a legendary resort offering an elite coastal sanctuary. This property remains a favourite among A-Listers who expect flawless execution and supreme privacy, so you can expect only the best, from exceptional accommodation to an outstanding culinary offering. For maximum indulgence, Villa Cortez presents a palatial, four-bedroom residence featuring a private cinema, dedicated culinary staff, and a private infinity pool. The resort also boasts one of the few swimmable beaches in the region, complete with private cabanas and attentive shoreline service.
One&Only Gorilla's Nest, Rwanda, Africa
Set among swaying eucalyptus trees on the edge of Volcanoes National Park, this is a resort with a strong sense of place and purpose. You’ll find spacious rooms, suites, and private villas, all designed to feel calm, generous, and closely connected to the forested landscape around you. For added privacy, the resort’s private villas give you more space to settle in, with generous indoor-outdoor living and a quiet sense of seclusion among the trees. Gorilla trekking in Volcanoes National Park is, of course, the defining experience here, but the resort also gives you ways to understand the country more deeply, from community visits and cultural encounters to quieter time back at the spa.
