Living and working in paradise

The "Long Stay Hideaways" offer the highest level of individual service. For example, any dietary requirements and serving wishes are discussed on site. The rooms are also individually designed and service times adapted to requirements. The use of high-speed Internet, printers, ring lights, extra monitors and various other technology is free of charge.

Ultra-luxury resorts offer stylish suites and villas especially for longer stays. Ultimate privacy is provided, with ample space for families, friends or groups, and magnificent views of palm-fringed pools, ancient volcanic landscapes or the sea. There are separate, quiet working areas, plus chic living areas, large terraces and private pools, and the kids are well looked after in the KidsOnly Club.

Classy Suites

From the Emirates One&Only Wolgan Valley's Three-Bedroom Wolgan Villa, where nature meets luxury, to One&Only Cape Town's The One Above penthouse with direct views of Table Mountain, guests can look forward to some of the most beautiful villas and suites in the world, coupled with service of the highest order. Those dreaming of a private island resort in a turquoise sea can book the Grand Sunset Residence at One&Only Reethi Rah in the Maldives, right on the longest stretch of beach on the island. Up to ten people can be accommodated on 2,487 square metres. One&Only The Palm in Dubai boasts one of the most sought-after detached residences in direct beachfront location - the Two-Bedroom Beachfront Villa. The absolute crowning glory is the two-story Villa One at One&Only Mandarina, Mexico. It boasts three bedrooms, an infinity pool, private spa and gym, full-screen cinema experience, wine cellar and an expansive outdoor terrace.

Experience and adventure or retreat and relaxation

In addition to special privacy for living and working, each resort also offers exclusive wellness, active and learning experiences to experience the destination. For example, guests at the soon-to-open One&Only Portonovi, Montenegro, can expect a special kind of holistic wellness with the Chenot Espace: After a medical consultation and body analysis by a nutritionist, a team of specialists creates a customized treatment plan with the goal of making the guest feel like a new man at the end of their stay. Also at One&Only Cape Town, an individual wellness plan can be created to complement the stay after extensive consultation with spa and fitness specialists. Against a backdrop of azure waters and tropical greenery, One&Only Desaru Coast in Malaysia offers the option of having the Chenot Spa there devise the ultimate transformative wellness programme - a combination of the latest scientific diagnostics, insights from traditional Chinese medicine and alternative healing methods.

The 2,800-hectare Emirates One&Only Wolgan Valley in the Blue Mountains of Australia's New South Wales promises a nature-based getaway. Children can look forward to a varied and educational outdoor activity programme. For those who prefer to end the day with a glass of champagne and exquisite bites on the beach, or a picture-perfect sunset watched from their own infinity pool, One&Only Reethi Rah is the place to be.

Learn to ride a horse - something many dream of: at the Mandarina Polo and Equestrian Club at One&Only Mandarina in Mexico, you can do just that, and at the legendary One&Only Le Saint Géran in Mauritius, instructors teach SUP or padel tennis.

On the edge of the Baja Peninsula, vacationers at One&Only Palmilla can take a private desert safari in a Land Rover Defender, complete with a gourmet picnic prepared by celebrity chef Jean-Georges Vongerichten.

The somewhat different home office

A different kind of office environment awaits guests in Rwanda, at One&Only Gorilla's Nest or One&Only Nyungwe House. Here, the desk sits on a deck overlooking dense greenery of eucalyptus trees and playful monkeys frolicking in the forest. Once a week, the resort offers evening childcare so parents can spend time as a couple or unwind from the work week at the spa.

When it comes to combining colourful city life with relaxing on an exotic sandy beach, the One&Only Royal Mirage and One&Only The Palm in Dubai are at the top of the list of favourites. There are various room categories, suites and villas to choose from for groups large and small. The resorts combine the best of both worlds. Add to that stylish restaurants with views of the sparkling skyline and exquisite spa treatments.
