One&Only makes debut in the United States with luxury ski resort

One&Only has opened its first property in the United States - a luxury ski resort in Moonlight Basin, Big Sky.

One&Only has opened its first property in the United States – a luxury ski resort in Moonlight Basin, Big Sky.

Bordered by 6,800 hectares of permanently protected land adjacent to Yellowstone National Park, One & Only Moonlight Basin has cabins, suites and four- to six-bedroom private home stays.

In winter, there are more than 24 kilometres of groomed and ungroomed trails for guided snowshoeing, fat tyre biking and Nordic skiing, and a heated gondola transports guests to Big Sky Resort’s Madison Base.

When the snow melts, go on guided hikes, mountain biking, and fishing at the two private alpine lakes.

The two-storey spa has eight treatment rooms, a steam room and sauna, indoor lap pool and state-of-the-art gym.

Come sundown, head to Moonshack, a speakeasy-style cabin in the woods that serves fine whiskys, then dine on American comfort food at the Landing in the Sky Lodge, or on Japanese cuisine at Akira Back – the eponymous restaurant by pro-snowboarder-turned-celebrity chef.

One & Only President Mark Kirby says bringing its luxury property brand to the United States is a milestone it’s long dreamed of.

“There’s no place more breathtaking to make our debut than Big Sky, Montana.

“This is the start of an exciting new chapter for us as we continue our strategic expansion into the market.”

General Manager Serge Ditesheim says, “From the architects and craftspeople to our dedicated colleagues, every individual shares a deep respect for this land”.

“Together we have created a resort that honours and celebrates Montana’s wild splendour and community while setting a new benchmark for alpine ultra-luxury hospitality.”
