One&Only launches three new brands

Kerzner International Holding’s One&Only brand is launching three new brands to compliment its Beach Resorts portfolio with One&Only Nature Resorts, One&Only Urban Resorts and One&Only Private Homes.

As part of the launch two properties in Rwanda under the Nature Resort brand have been announced – One&Only Nyungwe House and One&Only Gorilla’s Nest.

One&Only Nature Resorts will be intimate in size with the architectural design respecting the surroundings and framing the best aspects of the natural beauty. Minimal impact will be made to the location—from development to operations—and guests will have an opportunity to “give back” with curated, hands-on, interactive, immersive experiences with the local community.

All One&Only Nature Resorts will aim for the internationally accredited carbon-neutral certification by CarbonZero. In addition, the culinary philosophy will be based on seasonal, regional, and, where possible, organic produce from local boutique farms, private growers, and vintners.

One&Only Nyungwe House, which is expected to open this year, is situated in Gisakura, a working tea plantation, on the edge of the Nyungwe National Park. One&Only Gorilla’s Nest, located near the village of Kingi, will be positioned on the foothills of the Virunga Volcano range.

Other Kerzner resorts in development include One&Only Sanya, Hainan, China; One&Only Portonovi in Montenegro, which will be the first property for the collection in Europe, One&Only Seef in Bahrain and two new resorts in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico, One&Only Mandarina and One&Only Santa Maria de Xala.
