One&Only to launch first US resort

Expected to open in 2024, One&Only Moonlight Basin will also be the brand’s first mountain resort, located between Lone Peak and the Spanish Peaks. 

The hotel will be connected by gondola to Big Sky’s vast terrain, featuring more than 5,800 skiable acres, while also providing access to mountain golf courses, and outdoor pursuits. 

Under an hour’s drive from Bozeman Yellowstone International Airport and an hour from Yellowstone National Park, Big Sky sits in a three-million-acre national forest which ultimately joins the 20 million-acre Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem. 

Designed by architect Olson Kundig, the project will have 73 rooms and suites in the main lodge, 19 villas throughout the resort, a separate ski lodge, and a Chenot Spa. 

Brand owner Kerzner is to work with Lone Mountain Land Company on the project, which will also include One&Only Private Homes, with 62 residences throughout the resort. 

“I am thrilled we are introducing our first One&Only resort and community of private homes in the US,” said Philippe Zuber, chief executive officer, Kerzner International. “Each One&Only resort celebrates their own distinctive location and Big Sky is the perfect site, where guests and residents alike can enjoy the very best of nature year-round.” 

With its exclusive partnership with Swiss health and wellness brand Chenot, the resort’s spa will be the first time the Chenot Method will be available in North America. A fitness centre will feature both indoor and outdoor spaces, as part of the resort’s overall amenities.   

The resort promises to also offer innovative programming for families.
