Kerzner International has launched its newest addition to the One&Only brand – the One&Only One Za’abeel, marking the brand’s debut into urban resorts. Situated in Dubai, this vertical resort seamlessly combines the allure of Dubai’s visionary landscape with the traditional warmth of hospitality. Breaking away from convention, One&Only One Za’abeel redefines the concept of an ultra-luxury resort in the heart of the city, offering a dynamic blend of life, energy, and glamour.
Philippe Zuber, CEO of Kerzner International, expressed the company’s commitment to pioneering hospitality experiences, stating, “One&Only One Za’abeel is no exception. We have set aside convention and reinvented what an ultra-luxury resort in the heart of the city can deliver.” 
The architectural marvel, located in the One Za’abeel development, features dual skyscrapers connected by The Link, the world’s longest cantilever, floating 100 meters above the street. Reflecting the dualistic nature of the luxury resort, it sets a new standard of seclusion and exclusivity. The resort’s spacious rooms, suites, and Villa One penthouse are among the largest in Dubai, emphasizing the brand’s commitment to luxury.
In a first for One&Only, the corner suites offer unique amenities for discerning travelers, with the Za’abeel Suite providing panoramic views of Dubai’s skyline. The Sanctuary Suites focus on wellness with in-room spa treatments, while the Creative Suites feature cutting-edge technology and private cocktail soirées.
The culinary offerings at One&Only One Za’abeel are set to elevate the dining experience. The Link, a thriving lifestyle destination, will showcase globally renowned chefs and masterful mixologists, presenting unparalleled dining experiences. Notable among them is Dabiz Muñoz, named the Best Chef in the World in 2023, bringing his iconic StreetXO concept to Dubai.
The resort caters to diverse tastes, offering experiences such as cocktail masterclasses, sunrise yoga, art tours, film nights, and regional wine discovery sessions. One&Only One Za’abeel also houses the first Longevity Hub by Clinique La Prairie in the UAE, delivering ultra-personalized wellness journeys through a distilled version of the Swiss brand’s unrivaled science and services spread across three floors within the resort.
