Rolling out the first One&Only resort and residential community in the United States, One&Only Moonlight Basin, slated to open in 2024, sets out to redefine luxury hospitality in Big Sky, Montana…
The Lone Mountain Land Company and Kerzner International Holdings Limited have released plans for Moonlight Basin in Big Sky Montana, the first One&Only resort and residential community in the United States. The development forms part of the strategic growth for the brand portfolio with its ethos of introducing its resorts and residences to some of the world’s most incredible natural settings, buzzing urban centres, and exclusive communities.
Designed by architect Olson Kundig, One&Only Moonlight Basin will shelter 73 guestrooms and suites in the main lodge, 19 secluded villas throughout the resort, a separate ski lodge, and a Chenot Spa. In addition, the resort will introduce the first community of One&Only Private Homes in the U.S., offering 62 private residences throughout the landscape, which are sure to become one of the most sought after addresses in the U.S. The free-standing Olson Kundig-designed homes will offer a contemporary design, complete with glass walls to showcase Big Sky’s soaring mountain ranges.
“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 through the life and energy of One&Only.” – Philippe Zuber, Chief Executive Officer, Kerzner International.

“I am thrilled that we are introducing our first One&Only resort and community of Private Homes in the U.S.,” 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 through the life and energy of One&Only. At Moonlight Basin, Lone Mountain Land Company has built a mountain destination that showcases the natural beauty of Montana’s extensive, dramatic landscapes, and I am delighted to introduce One&Only in this unrivalled destination.”

Intimate in size, the architectural design of the resort respects the terrain, and minimal impact will be made to the location’s ecosystem during development. Framing the majestic mountain ranges of the area, the resort will seamlessly integrate into the inspired landscape. Featuring local art embracing textiles, roaring fires, and stunning floor-to-ceiling windows, guests will simultaneously feel connected to, yet protected from, the spectacular surroundings. Like all properties in the collection, Moonlight Basin will place an emphasis on privacy, providing the ultimate hideaway within a choice of accommodations that are perfect for both couples and families. An emphasis will be placed on outdoor living spaces to enjoy the natural mountain surroundings.
One&Only also has an exclusive global partnership with the leading health and wellness brand based in Switzerland, Chenot. The resort will be home to a transformative Chenot Spa, providing an experience that combines science-based health and beauty with alternative therapies. This will be the first time the Chenot Method will be available in North America. A cutting-edge fitness centre will feature both indoor and outdoor spaces as part of the resort’s overall amenities that will evolve with the seasons.

The resort will act as both the nexus for adventure, and a space to unwind between activities. From hiking, mountain biking, horseback riding, fly fishing and snowshoeing, to Alpine and Nordic skiing, dogsledding, and snowmobiling, personal experiences will be offered to discover the best of Big Sky. As with all One&Only properties, it will offer innovative programming for families with children while carefully preserving space for adults only as well.
From awe-inspiring natural landscapes to state-of-the-art facilities for fitness, wellness, art, cooking and more, Moonlight Basin will be a stimulating oasis for active, mindful, and creative pursuits, regardless of age or passions. An adventurous experience in an authentically wild environment that will take the One&Only brand ethos into the heart of the country.
