One&Only Resorts is an ultra-luxury resort brand operated by Kerzner International Holdings, a hospitality company founded by South African entrepreneur Sol Kerzner. The brand was launched in 2002 and is headquartered in Dubai, United Arab Emirates. One&Only operates a curated collection of approximately 15 resorts and private homes in exceptional locations including the Maldives, Mauritius, Dubai, Cape Town, the Bahamas, Mexico, Rwanda, and Montenegro. Each One&Only property is designed as a singular destination, with architecture and guest experiences shaped by the specific landscape and cultural context of the location. The brand's resorts are characterized by expansive private grounds, low-density accommodation layouts, and an emphasis on immersive nature experiences, from marine conservation programs in the Maldives to gorilla trekking partnerships in Rwanda. One&Only has collaborated with prominent architects and designers, including Jean-Michel Gathy and Adam D. Tihany, to create distinctive resort environments. The brand operates dedicated wellness and spa facilities at each property and has introduced its Nature Resorts category, exemplified by One&Only Gorilla's Nest in Rwanda and One&Only Nyungwe House, which focus on wildlife and ecological experiences. Culinary programming is a significant component of the brand identity, with several properties hosting restaurants overseen by Michelin-starred chefs. Nightly rates at One&Only resorts typically start above $800, reflecting the brand's ultra-luxury positioning.
