One&Only Resorts: All 14 Properties, Rates & How to Book
Kerzner's resorts-only statement brand: fourteen properties, no city compromises, and some of the highest nightly rates on earth.
By Biirdee Travel, Luxury Travel Concierge · Updated June 10, 2026
One&Only does one thing: destination resorts where the resort is the destination. No business hotels, no airport properties: fourteen addresses chosen for geography first, from a 44-hectare Maldivian island (Reethi Rah) to the original 1956 Palmilla estate in Los Cabos to a gorilla-trekking lodge in Rwanda. The brand belongs to Kerzner International, and its current chapter is a pivot west: One&Only Moonlight Basin in Big Sky, Montana (November 2025) was simultaneously the brand's first US property and first ski resort, with Hudson Valley and Courchevel to follow.
Worth knowing before you search old lists: Wolgan Valley (Australia) and Desaru Coast (Malaysia) have both left the brand; the latter is now a Mandarin Oriental.
One&Only in Brief
- Fourteen resorts as of June 2026: Indian Ocean, Africa, Middle East, Mexico, the Mediterranean and now Montana.
- No loyalty program of any kind, and no Kerzner cross-brand scheme; the booking channel is the only benefits lever.
- Reethi Rah is the brand's most famous property and one of the priciest resorts anywhere: ~$2,250 low season to $6,000+ festive.
- One&Only Cape Town is the value door into the brand at ~$620 low season.
- Concierge bookings add breakfast, credits and upgrade priority at the same rate as direct: meaningful at these tariffs.

Booking One&Only Without a Loyalty Program
Kerzner runs no points scheme for One&Only (Atlantis's casino-style program is a separate world), so the channel decides what your stay includes. Booked through Biirdee's preferred partnerships, a One&Only stay carries daily breakfast, a property credit (typically $100+), upgrade priority and VIP recognition at the same rate as the brand's own site. At Reethi Rah's tariffs, the included breakfast alone is a ~$150/day item.
Season selection is the other half of the value: the Maldives and Dubai discount hard May–September, Cape Town's "low" season (their winter) is green-season beautiful, and festive weeks everywhere book out 9–12 months ahead. The pipeline (Antigua (~2027), Hudson Valley (~2028), Fiji and Courchevel beyond) is worth tracking if you collect openings; soft-opening rates at Moonlight Basin were ~30% under year-one pricing.
One&Only FAQs
How many One&Only resorts are there?
Fourteen as of June 2026. Note two departures from older lists: Wolgan Valley (Australia) is becoming a Ritz-Carlton lodge, and Desaru Coast (Malaysia) reopened in February 2026 as a Mandarin Oriental.
Does One&Only have a loyalty program?
No. No points, no club, and no Kerzner cross-brand program. Benefits come exclusively from how you book: preferred-partner and concierge channels add breakfast, credits and upgrade priority at the direct rate.
What is the best One&Only resort?
Reethi Rah is the flagship and the fame magnet. Palmilla is the most complete resort; Mandarina the design statement; Kea Island the smart-money Mediterranean pick; Moonlight Basin the new ski toy.
Is One&Only more expensive than Four Seasons?
At the resort tier, generally yes: Reethi Rah and Mandarina price above comparable Four Seasons. But the band is wide: Cape Town and Royal Mirage enter below a Four Seasons Maldives villa. See our Four Seasons guide for the comparison set.
What Biirdee Does
A concierge travel agency: paid by the hotel, never by you
Biirdee Travel books luxury hotels through preferred-partner programs: you pay the same rate as booking direct, the partner benefits attach to your reservation, and a human concierge handles the details end to end.
Tell us the trip
Destination or property, rough dates, who’s traveling. The form takes two minutes and commits you to nothing.
A concierge replies within hours
A real person checks availability, compares properties honestly, and confirms the perks your stay qualifies for: upgrades, breakfast, and credits where available.
Book at the same rate as direct
The hotel pays our commission out of the rate you’d pay anyway, so the perks cost you nothing. Before and during the trip, one concierge on WhatsApp handles requests and changes.
Flying too? The same team books business and first class: flights and hotels aligned as one itinerary, one point of contact.
