With three new exclusive coastal destinations, luxury hotel brand One&Only is luring guests to the world's most beautiful beaches and destinations. From Malaysia to Montenegro, the three destinations One&Only Desaru Coast, One&Only Portonovi and One&Only Mandarina offer understated luxury and forward thinking.

One&Only Desaru Coast

Here, traditional Malaysian architecture meets modern touches to create a resort that scores points for understated elegance. Opening in autumn 2020, One&Only Desaru Coast marks the luxury chain's first hotel in Asia. Nestled between unspoiled nature and the South China Sea, a gorgeous white beach, rainforests and spacious suites, villas and private homes await. The resort focuses on sustainability and the careful treatment of nature. The Mediterranean dishes use ingredients from local farmers and suppliers. Much is harvested from the resort's own "Chef's Garden". The heart of the resort is Villa One, where guests can enjoy private spa treatments and relax in their own 27-metre pool.

The resort also offers exclusive Long Stays, where guests can stay in the villas for 21 days or longer and work in a "home office away from home". The weekly massage, which is included in the Long Stay Package, provides relaxation.

The resort's holistic spa concept is based on the Chenot method and promises excellent service and comfort. Individual nutrition and training programmes and the beauty brand developed especially for One&Only perfectly complement the medical wellness offer.  

One&Only Portonovi

One&Only Portonovi, the brand's first hotel in Europe, opened in March in an absolute hotspot on the Adriatic. With the Chenot Espace Spa concept, travellers can look forward to a unique wellness concept, all geared towards an active and balanced life. Six-day detox programmes are on the agenda here, as are de-stress and re-charge programmes and two-day weekend spa packages. The hotel is also a culinary highlight: the Sabia restaurant is run by none other than the Italian celebrity chef Giorgio Locatelli - culinary delights included!

Surrounded by the mountains of Montenegro and at the entrance to Boka Bay, the resort nestles in a breathtaking and protected landscape, with the UNESCO World Heritage Bay of Kotor right next door. This wonderful view of the bay and the marina is of course not missed, from each of the rooms and suites you can be enchanted by nature through the floor-to-ceiling windows.

In addition to wellness for adults, the hotel also scores with a variety of children's and activity programs. Kids and teenagers feel at home in the KidsOnly and OneTribe. A tennis club with two floodlit courts and a state-of-the-art fitness centre with personal training, course programme and state-of-the-art Technogym™ equipment will delight you. The landscape also attracts runners, with a weekly guided training session offered here. Yoga is practiced overlooking Boka Bay.

One&Only Mandarina

Since November, the One&Only Mandarina on the Mexican Riviera Nayarit has also been waiting for discerning guests. The architectural masterpiece on the green cliffs impresses with sustainable design and an impressive location. On 33 hectares of unspoiled nature, the villas and private homes nestle into the natural surroundings. Together with experts, care was taken here to ensure that the structures preserve nature and act in a resource-saving manner. The open structures playfully catch the light and create an extraordinary atmosphere. The villas' materials are sourced from local businesses, playfully blending the region's history with the ultra-modern resort. A highlight is the modern Mexican restaurant Carao, built on the southernmost hill of the resort and featuring an infinity pool and terrace built out over the mountainside.

The Jetty Beach Club creates a casual spot, with comfortable loungers, chaise longues and terraces, and is the hotspot for casual dining on the beach overlooking two cascading infinity pools right next to the deep blue ocean. Yacht owners rejoice at The Jetty mooring. From here, guests set off on adventures at sea, or can swim to Blue Water Cove.

The One&Only Spa is set in a volcanic rock garden and overlooks the jungle canopy. Treatments are inspired by traditional Mexican practices and include mud baths and a temazcal ritual.
