One&Only Resorts: Exceptional One-Off Luxury, and the Smartest Way to Book It
Born from Sol Kerzner's vision, One&Only creates singular resorts in the world's most fascinating places, each one unique, never duplicated, never repeated. Here is what makes the collection extraordinary, and why booking through WhataHotel adds exclusive value at the same published rate.
The WhataHotel Advantage
Backed by Lorraine Travel's 75-plus years of expertise since 1948, WhataHotel is a proud preferred partner of One&Only. Every One&Only reservation made through WhataHotel automatically includes a room-category upgrade subject to availability, daily complimentary breakfast for two, a property credit typically valued at $100, early check-in and late checkout, VIP recognition, and complimentary Wi-Fi, all at rates identical to those published directly by One&Only.What Makes One&Only Singular
One&Only represents exceptional one-off luxury found in the world's most fascinating places. Each resort is a unique, singular experience, combining ultra-luxury accommodations, Michelin-caliber dining, world-class spas, and immersive local experiences. The settings could not be more distinct: a private-island sanctuary at Reethi Rah in the Maldives, a legendary beachfront estate at Palmilla in Los Cabos where Hollywood once escaped, an architectural marvel at One Za'abeel on the Dubai skyline, wildlife lodges at Gorilla's Nest and Nyungwe House in Rwanda for primate encounters, and an alpine retreat at Moonlight Basin in Montana. From secluded beaches and untouched wilderness to dynamic cities and breathtaking alpine settings, One&Only sets the stage for unforgettable moments.
Your Exclusive Benefits Through WhataHotel
When you book through WhataHotel, you automatically receive exclusive benefits at no additional cost: a room upgrade subject to availability at check-in, daily breakfast for two featuring world-class cuisine, a $100 property credit per stay for dining or spa treatments, priority early check-in and late checkout, a VIP welcome amenity, and complimentary Wi-Fi. These apply across every One&Only property worldwide, from private-island sanctuaries in the Maldives to desert glamour in Dubai, beachfront escapes in Mexico, wildlife adventures in Rwanda, and urban retreats in Athens and Cape Town. Most importantly, our reservations include priority upgrade consideration with advance VIP recognition, and guaranteed breakfast for two, whereas direct bookings offer upgrades only on availability without guaranteed consideration and do not automatically include breakfast.
Singular Experiences, Not a Points Program
One&Only focuses on creating singular, one-off experiences rather than a traditional loyalty program. Booking through WhataHotel complements that philosophy perfectly: your reservation ensures VIP recognition from the moment of booking, with guaranteed priority for upgrades, daily breakfast, property credits, and enhanced, personalized service throughout your stay.The WhataHotel Booking Fee and Value
WhataHotel charges a nominal $10.95 booking fee per reservation, with rates matching One&Only's best available pricing and no rate premium. That small fee is offset many times over: daily breakfast at One&Only properties can be valued at $75–$150 per person given the world-class culinary quality, room upgrades can provide hundreds to thousands in value through overwater villas, beachfront sanctuaries, or enhanced views, and the $100 property credit adds value toward Michelin-caliber dining, signature spa treatments, or private excursions. Over a multi-night stay at One&Only's exceptional properties, accumulated benefits can exceed thousands of dollars. To book, search WhataHotel.com for instant confirmation, or contact a WhataHotel travel consultant who can secure rates, confirm benefits, and arrange unique experiences such as gorilla trekking or private yacht charters.
