One&Only Reethi Rah in the Maldives, with six kilometres of private coastline and 12 powder-soft white sand beaches, is the ultimate all-villa resort offering unprecedented privacy with beach or over-water villas and exceptional culinary and wellness experiences.

Alongside ancient rainforest, within the lush green expanse of a working tea plantation, One&Only Nyungwe House is an idyllic eco retreat offering once-in-a-lifetime experiences in the heart of magical Rwanda. Immersed in exotic flora and fauna, wildlife abounds just outside the doors of the treetop-skimming wooden villas while authentic Rwandan experiences showcase the vibrant culture.

Set on an undiscovered stretch of coastline along the Riviera Nayarit in Mexico, One&Only Mandarina is a rare haven in nature, overlooking the Pacific Ocean with dramatic vistas and an awe-inspiring beachfront rainforest setting. The resort is a hidden sanctuary complete with secluded eco-designed treehouses and clifftop villas, swimmable shores, destination dining from Chef Enrique Olvera, active and mindful experiences, and an environment crafted for reconnection.

An oasis on its own peninsula overlooking the dramatic coastline of the Sea of Cortez, One&Only Palmilla is the iconic luxury retreat in Los Cabos, Mexico. The beloved resort’s suite of offerings includes world-renowned service, a variety of fine-dining options including immersive culinary experiences from Jean-Georges Vongerichten, and an unrivalled spa, wellness, fitness, and beauty program.

Framed by the towering natural wonder of Table Mountain, the ultra-luxury One&Only Cape Town is a tranquil enclave nestled in the heart of the Victoria & Alfred Waterfront, surrounded by mesmerising waterways. The resort has recently undergone an extensive reimagination, introducing a new design for the guest rooms and suites that takes inspiration from the city surrounds from the topography of the majestic Table Mountain to the city’s mythology, and the thousands of indigenous plant species that occur nowhere else in the world.  Working with local designers and artisans, the redesign reflects modern Africa, inclusive and expansive, with an elevated residential feel that makes guests feel instantly at home.
