One&Only

High-service resorts and escapes with a strong sense of occasion.

One&Only is Kerzner International’s flagship luxury brand, designed around highly staffed resorts, villas, destination dining, and settings that are spectacular without needing an all-inclusive mass-market formula. The collection ranges from the Maldives and Mauritius to Dubai, Mexico, Greece, Rwanda, and Australia. Its best properties give guests enough restaurant, wellness, beach, and experience depth to settle in for several days while retaining a private, residential feel.
