One&Only – Courchevel, the brand’s first resort in the French Alps

Kerzner International has announced One&Only in Courchevel, the brand’s first resort in the French Alps. The landmark opening will redefine the experience of elevated alpine living through exceptional design, immersive wellness, vibrant culinary experiences, and a rare collection of branded residences.

It also marks a significant milestone in One&Only’s alpine strategy, building a presence in the world’s most exceptional mountain destinations following the successful debut of One&Only Moonlight Basin in Montana. Through this expansion, One&Only is extending its distinctive philosophy of immersive luxury resorts into iconic alpine environments, creating extraordinary retreats rooted in adventure, wellbeing, authenticity and a deep connection to place.

Recognised globally as the benchmark of alpine luxury, Courchevel occupies a singular position within the world of mountain hospitality. Renowned for its unparalleled ski terrain, Michelin-starred gastronomy, luxury boutiques and vibrant après-ski scene, Courchevel attracts an ultra-luxury international clientele seeking the very highest standards of hospitality and experience.

The resort will rise on the site of the much loved and historic Courcheneige Hotel, an address long woven into the story of Courchevel. Through a complete and thoughtful transformation, the property will be reimagined to reflect One&Only’s exacting standards of design, comfort and service, while honouring the heritage and enduring spirit of this iconic alpine location.

Designed to embody the spirit of modern alpine glamour synonymous with Courchevel itself, the resort will balance intimacy and discretion with the vibrant energy and sense of occasion that have long defined the destination’s global appeal.

“Courchevel, one of the most iconic mountain destinations in the world, has long set the standard for luxury mountain travel globally, attracting a sophisticated international audience who value not only extraordinary skiing, but exceptional dining, vibrant social experiences, impeccable service and a true sense of occasion. The arrival of One&Only marks a defining milestone not only for our brand, but for the future of luxury hospitality in the Alps, as this project has been conceived to honour and elevate the legacy through our distinctive lens” said Philippe Zuber, Chief Executive Officer, Kerzner International.

“One&Only has always been about creating truly one-of-a-kind resorts that are deeply rooted in their destination, where exceptional design, genuine hospitality, transformative wellness and unforgettable experiences come together in a way that feels both personal and extraordinary. Following the tremendous success of the opening of One&Only Moonlight Basin in Montana just last year, we are proud to continue our expansion into the world’s most remarkable mountain destinations. With One&Only, we will bring a new spirit of alpine luxury to Courchevel, one that celebrates the beauty, energy and soul of the French Alps, while inviting guests to experience the rare sense of freedom that defines One&Only.”

One&Only in Courchevel will feature a mix of elegant guest rooms and expansive suites, each intentionally designed to maximise natural light, breathtaking views and a profound sense of warmth and privacy. Blending the timeless language of alpine architecture with the understated glamour synonymous with One&Only. The design will carefully frame mountain vistas, creating spaces that feel both residential and deeply connected to the landscape.

At the heart of One&Only in Courchevel will be an expansive wellness sanctuary, designed as a serene counterpoint to the exhilaration of the mountains. Inspired by altitude, fresh alpine air, silence, snow and the restorative contrast of heat and cold, the spa will offer a deeply immersive wellbeing journey for guests and residents alike.

One&Only Private Homes in Courchevel
Complementing the resort will be an exceptionally limited collection of One&Only Private Homes, set to become among the most desirable branded residences in the French Alps. An ownership opportunity of this calibre is seldom available in Courchevel, combining one of the world’s most renowned mountain destinations with the distinctive service and lifestyle of One&Only.

With demand for ultra-luxury alpine residences continuing to grow among international buyers, One&Only Private Homes in Courchevel will offer a rare opportunity to own within one of the most exclusive and supply-constrained resort destinations in the world.

As One&Only continues its global expansion across resort, residential and urban destinations, One&Only in Courchevel signals the brand’s bold entrance into Europe’s luxury alpine market, setting a new standard for mountain living and hospitality in one of the world’s most prestigious winter destinations.
