Kerzner International Holdings Limited (“Kerzner”) has announced One&Only in Courchevel, the brand’s first resort in the French Alps. Set to welcome its first guests in 2030 within the legendary Courchevel 1850, One&Only will bring its celebrated approach to ultra-luxury hospitality to one of the world’s most coveted mountain destinations. The landmark opening will redefine the experience of elevated alpine living through exceptional design, immersive wellness, vibrant culinary experiences, and a rare collection of branded residences. It also marks a significant milestone in One&Only’s alpine strategy, building a presence in the world’s most exceptional mountain destinations following the successful debut of One&Only Moonlight Basin in Montana. Through this expansion, One&Only is extending its distinctive philosophy of immersive luxury resorts into iconic alpine environments, creating extraordinary retreats rooted in adventure, wellbeing, authenticity and a deep connection to place.

Recognised globally as the benchmark of alpine luxury, Courchevel occupies a singular position within the world of mountain hospitality; not simply as a ski destination, but as an international symbol of splendour, exceptional service and refined social culture. Renowned for its unparalleled ski terrain, Michelin-starred gastronomy, luxury boutiques and vibrant après-ski scene, Courchevel attracts an ultra-luxury international clientele seeking the very highest standards of hospitality and experience.

The resort will rise on the site of the much-loved and historic Courcheneige Hotel, an address long woven into the story of Courchevel. Through a complete and thoughtful transformation, the property will be reimagined to reflect One&Only’s exacting standards of design, comfort and service, while honouring the heritage and enduring spirit of this iconic alpine location.

Positioned at the summit of the exclusive Jardin Alpin, the resort will boast one of the most private and prestigious addresses in the destination; elevated above neighbouring properties and surrounded by panoramic mountain vistas, offering direct ski-in/ski-out access to the renowned Bellecôte slope, placing guests at the heart of Les Trois Vallées, the world’s largest ski area. Combining seclusion with effortless connectivity, One&Only will be both an intimate sanctuary and the social pulse of the destination. Designed to embody the spirit of modern alpine glamour synonymous with Courchevel itself, the resort will balance intimacy and discretion with the vibrant energy and sense of occasion that have long defined the destination’s global appeal.

A Landmark Moment for One&Only

“Courchevel, one of the most iconic mountain destinations in the world, has long set the standard for luxury mountain travel globally, attracting a sophisticated international audience who value not only extraordinary skiing, but exceptional dining, vibrant social experiences, impeccable service and a true sense of occasion. The arrival of One&Only marks a defining milestone not only for our brand, but for the future of luxury hospitality in the Alps, as this project has been conceived to honour and elevate the legacy through our distinctive lens” said Philippe Zuber, Chief Executive Officer, Kerzner International. “One&Only has always been about creating truly one-of-a-kind resorts that are deeply rooted in their destination, where exceptional design, genuine hospitality, transformative wellness and unforgettable experiences come together in a way that feels both personal and extraordinary. Following the tremendous success of the opening of One&Only Moonlight Basin in Montana just last year, we are proud to continue our expansion into the world’s most remarkable mountain destinations. With One&Only, we will bring a new spirit of alpine luxury to Courchevel, one that celebrates the beauty, energy and soul of the French Alps, while inviting guests to experience the rare sense of freedom that defines One&Only.”

A New Benchmark for Alpine Hospitality

One&Only in Courchevel will feature a mix of elegant guest rooms and expansive suites, each intentionally designed to maximise natural light, breathtaking views and a profound sense of warmth and privacy.

Blending the timeless language of alpine architecture with the understated glamour synonymous with One&Only. The design will carefully frame mountain vistas, creating spaces that feel both residential and deeply connected to the landscape.

Exceptional Dining and Social Experiences

Dining at One&Only in Courchevel will be a defining pillar of the guest experience, with a collection of restaurants, bars and lounges curated to bring energy, sophistication and a vibrant sense of mountain living.

From relaxed slope-side lunches and elegant evening dining to the most sought after après-ski destination and intimate late-night gatherings, the culinary offering will capture the spirit of Courchevel’s celebrated social scene. Signature venues throughout the resort will combine refined cuisine, stylish surroundings and the warmth of One&Only hospitality, creating a destination in their own right for guests and residents alike.

Reflecting Courchevel’s status as one of the world’s leading destinations for gastronomy and alpine lifestyle, the resort’s culinary programming will be designed to appeal to a globally discerning clientele for whom dining, entertainment and social connection are as integral to the experience as the slopes themselves.

A Destination for Wellness and Recovery

At the heart of One&Only in Courchevel will be an expansive wellness sanctuary, designed as a serene counterpoint to the exhilaration of the mountains. Inspired by altitude, fresh alpine air, silence, snow and the restorative contrast of heat and cold, the spa will offer a deeply immersive wellbeing journey for guests and residents alike.

Facilities will include a striking indoor/outdoor wet circuit, thermal experiences, private treatment spaces, beauty and recovery facilities, and dedicated areas for movement and relaxation. Tailored therapies will focus on recovery and rejuvenation, from post-ski muscle restoration and contrast bathing to mindfulness, sleep support and holistic renewals designed to recalibrate body and mind. High-performance wellness spaces will complete the offering, allowing guests to maintain performance on the slopes or simply reconnect with themselves in a spectacular natural setting.

One&Only Private Homes in Courchevel

Complementing the resort will be an exceptionally limited collection of One&Only Private Homes, set to become among the most desirable branded residences in the French Alps. An ownership opportunity of this calibre is seldom available in Courchevel, combining one of the world’s most renowned mountain destinations with the distinctive service and lifestyle of One&Only. Created for discerning owners seeking the privacy of a spectacular mountain retreat with the effortless convenience of a fully serviced resort lifestyle, each home will offer a seamless blend of warmth, sophistication and alpine elegance creating extraordinary homes designed for unforgettable moments in every season.

With demand for ultra-luxury alpine residences continuing to grow among international buyers, One&Only Private Homes in Courchevel will offer a rare opportunity to own within one of the most exclusive and supply-constrained resort destinations in the world.

“Courchevel represents one of the most exclusive residential and hospitality markets in the world, making this a landmark opportunity for Kerzner to bring One&Only to the French Alps,” commented Juan Aguilar, President of Real Estate for Kerzner International. “As owner and developer of this exceptional project, Kerzner is proud to lead the transformation of one of Courchevel’s most iconic sites into a world-class resort and private homes offering. This development reflects the full breadth of our expertise, not only as a leading operator of ultra-luxury hospitality experiences, but also as a trusted investment and development partner capable of creating enduring value in the world’s most sought-after destinations.”

As One&Only continues its global expansion across resort, residential and urban destinations, One&Only in Courchevel signals the brand’s bold entrance into Europe’s luxury alpine market, setting a new standard for mountain living and hospitality in one of the world’s most prestigious winter destinations.

Bringing together One&Only’s signature approach to experiential ultra-luxury with Courchevel’s globally recognised culture of excellence, glamour and high-altitude lifestyle, the resort is poised to become one of the defining new openings in the Alps.
