Kerzner International has unveiled plans for One&Only Moonlight Basin in Big Sky, Montana, the brand’s first resort and residential community in the United States.
Slated to open in 2024, One&Only Moonlight Basin is part of the strategic growth for the portfolio, introducing resorts and residences in some of the world’s most sought-after destinations.
Designed by Olson Kundig, the alpine resort will comprise 73 guest rooms and suites in the main lodge, 19 secluded villas throughout the resort, a separate ski lodge, and a Chenot Spa. The resort will also introduce the first community of One&Only Private Homes in the U.S., offering 62 private residences throughout the landscape. The free-standing Olson Kundig-designed homes will offer a contemporary design, complete with glass walls to showcase Big Sky’s soaring mountain ranges.
Intimate in size, the architectural design of the resort will respect the terrain with minimal impact on the location’s ecosystem during development. Featuring local art embracing textiles, roaring fires and floor-to-ceiling windows, the resort will simultaneously feel connected to, yet protected from, the spectacular surroundings.
Located between the iconic Lone Peak and the Spanish Peaks, One&Only Moonlight Basin will be connected by gondola to Big Sky’s world-class skiing with over 5,800 skiable acres and will provide access to unparalleled mountain golf courses and various outdoor opportunities.
As part of the brand’s exclusive global partnership with Swiss health and wellness brand Chenot, the resort will be home to a transformative Chenot Spa, marking 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.
“I am thrilled that we are introducing our first One&Only resort and community of Private Homes in the U.S. 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,” says Philippe Zuber, Chief Executive Officer, Kerzner International. “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.”
