PrivateJetia Verification Status: Verified

One&Only’s official corporate social profile identifies Dubai as its headquarters and 2002 as its founding year. The original December 2002 Kerzner announcement filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission confirms that Kerzner consolidated its luxury resort properties under the One&Only brand that year. (LinkedIn)

Investment Corporation of Dubai’s financial reporting identifies Kerzner International Holdings Ltd as a significant subsidiary and confirms that Kerzner operates the One&Only, Atlantis, SIRO and Rare Finds brands. (ICD)

2. Executive Company Overview

One&Only Resorts and Private Homes is an ultra-luxury hotel, resort and branded-residential hospitality brand headquartered operationally through Kerzner International in Dubai, United Arab Emirates. Established as a unified Kerzner luxury-resort brand in 2002, One&Only now operates destination resorts spanning Dubai, Greece, Montenegro, Rwanda, Mauritius, Maldives, South Africa, Mexico and the United States. Its core offering combines resort accommodation, suites and villas, private residences, wellness, dining, destination experiences and highly personalized guest services.

For PrivateJetia’s audience, One&Only is relevant not because it is an aircraft operator or charter provider, but because it occupies the destination and hospitality layer of the private-aviation travel ecosystem. Its customer proposition is particularly compatible with UHNW individuals, private aircraft travelers, family groups, executives, luxury leisure travelers and owners of branded residences who require high-touch accommodation and destination logistics after an aviation movement. The relationship is especially evident at properties requiring coordinated onward transportation. At One&Only Reethi Rah in the Maldives, for example, the resort specifically publishes arrival procedures for private-jet passengers and requires private boat or yacht transfers for private-jet arrivals and departures. (One&Only Resorts)

The portfolio has also diversified structurally. One&Only is no longer limited to tropical beach resorts. Kerzner has expanded the concept into nature destinations, urban hospitality, alpine resorts and branded Private Homes. One&Only One Za’abeel represents its urban format in Dubai, while One&Only Moonlight Basin, opened in November 2025, established the brand’s first U.S. and first alpine resort. Future developments announced by the company include Hudson Valley, Fiji, Jeddah and Courchevel. (Kerzner International)

5. Industries & Client Types Served

Principal Industry: Luxury hospitality

Relevant Client Types:

• UHNW individuals
• High-net-worth individuals

7. Aircraft Expertise

Aircraft Categories

Not applicable.

One&Only is not an aircraft manufacturer, broker, charter operator, aircraft manager, MRO provider or flight-support company.

Aircraft Manufacturers

No documented aircraft manufacturer specialization.

Aircraft Models

No documented aircraft model specialization.

Private Aviation Interface

One&Only nevertheless has practical relevance to private aviation because certain resorts manage the ground or marine component of private-aircraft arrivals.

The clearest verified example is One&Only Reethi Rah, Maldives. Its official booking terms expressly address passengers arriving or departing on private jets and require a private boat or yacht transfer. Flight details are requested to coordinate arrival arrangements. (One&Only Resorts)

Accordingly, PrivateJetia should classify One&Only as an aviation-adjacent luxury travel and hospitality company, rather than an aviation operator.

8. Fleet Information

Total Aircraft Fleet Size: Not applicable
Owned Aircraft: No company aviation fleet identified
Managed Aircraft: None identified
Charter Aircraft: None identified
Aircraft Categories: Not applicable
Major Manufacturers: Not applicable
Notable Models: Not applicable

One&Only should not be tagged as Private Jet Charter, Aircraft Management or Aircraft Operator unless separate verified evidence emerges for a particular operating entity.

10. Certifications & Regulatory Status

One&Only is a hospitality brand rather than an aviation operating organization.

FAA Part 135: Not applicable
FAA Part 145: Not applicable
EASA AOC / Maintenance Approval: Not applicable
IS-BAO: Not applicable

Individual hotel properties are subject to applicable national and local hospitality, food service, safety, real-estate and operating regulations. A single portfolio-wide certification that should be treated as equivalent to an aviation safety accreditation was not identified.

PrivateJetia should therefore avoid applying aviation certification taxonomy to this entry.

Status: Not publicly verified for directory purposes.

12. Leadership

Mark Kirby

President, One&Only

Kerzner announced Mark Kirby’s appointment as President of One&Only effective 6 January 2025. He reports to Kerzner CEO Philippe Zuber and is responsible for the One&Only global portfolio and its development. Before joining Kerzner, Kirby served as COO and Head of Hospitality at Emaar Hospitality Group and had responsibility across a portfolio of more than 30 hotels, residences and leisure clubs. (Kerzner International)

Philippe Zuber

Chief Executive Officer, Kerzner International

Zuber is CEO of One&Only parent Kerzner International. He joined Kerzner in 2015 as President and COO of One&Only Resorts and played a central role in extending the concept into Nature Resorts, Urban Resorts and Private Homes before assuming broader group leadership. (Kerzner International)

Mattheos Georgiou

Head of Global Operations, One&Only, SIRO and Rare Finds

Kerzner identifies Georgiou as responsible for operations across One&Only, SIRO and Rare Finds, working with property general managers and operating teams. He joined Kerzner in 2022 after a hospitality career spanning multiple Hyatt properties and markets. (Kerzner International)

Celine Assimon

Chief Commercial Officer, Kerzner International

Assimon oversees Kerzner’s global commercial strategy, including marketing, sales, revenue, distribution, PR and brand positioning across its portfolio, making the role relevant to One&Only’s global commercial platform. (Kerzner International)

Justin Robinson

Chief Financial Officer, Kerzner International

Robinson leads group financial planning, treasury, capital allocation, risk management and financial operations. (Kerzner International)

Founder / Brand-Creation Context: One&Only was introduced by Kerzner International in 2002 during the era of founder Sol Kerzner. The historic SEC filing is stronger evidence for the formal brand-launch date than modern retrospective biographies.

13. Ownership & Corporate Structure

Ownership Type: Government-owned parent-company structure / subsidiary brand

Immediate Parent: Kerzner International Holdings Limited

Ultimate Controlling Shareholder: Investment Corporation of Dubai, the principal investment arm of the Government of Dubai.

ICD’s audited 2024 consolidated accounts reported a 99.99% beneficial interest in Kerzner International Holdings Ltd and described Kerzner as a developer and operator of destination resorts, ultra-luxury hotels and residences operating the Atlantis, One&Only, SIRO and Rare Finds brands. (ICD)

ICD gained control of Kerzner in 2015. Historical audited records state that the investment changed from associate status to subsidiary status during that year. (ICD)

Related Kerzner Brands

• Atlantis Resorts & Residences
• One&Only Resorts and Private Homes
• SIRO
• Rare Finds
• Mazagan, also represented in current Kerzner brand materials

(Kerzner International)

Standalone One&Only shareholders: Not applicable/disclosed separately because One&Only functions as a Kerzner brand rather than a separately listed public company.

Standalone One&Only revenue: Not publicly disclosed.

14. Company History & Milestones

2002: Kerzner International announced that its luxury resort hotels would operate and market under the newly unified One&Only brand. Initial properties included Le Saint Géran, Le Touessrok, Ocean Club, Kanuhura and Royal Mirage, with Palmilla scheduled to join following redevelopment.

2002: Kerzner and Sun Resorts announced One&Only (Indian Ocean) Management Limited to develop and operate resort hotels in the Indian Ocean region.

2015: Investment Corporation of Dubai gained control of Kerzner International Holdings. (ICD)

2018–2019 era: One&Only expanded its nature-resort strategy in Rwanda, including One&Only Nyungwe House and Gorilla’s Nest.

2020: One&Only Mandarina opened in Riviera Nayarit, advancing the brand’s nature-led resort concept in Mexico.

2021: One&Only Portonovi strengthened the portfolio’s European and Adriatic presence.

2023: One&Only Aesthesis opened on the Athenian Riviera, marking the brand’s return to Europe according to subsequent company commentary. (Retail & Leisure International)

2024: One&Only One Za’abeel opened in Dubai as an urban vertical resort, an expansion beyond One&Only’s traditional destination-resort model. ICD also records the opening in its corporate chronology. (ICD Reporting)

2024: One&Only Kéa Island opened in Greece, complementing One&Only Aesthesis and establishing a two-property Greek destination combination.

January 2025: Mark Kirby became President of One&Only following Kerzner’s creation of more distinct brand-management verticals. (Kerzner International)

2030: One&Only plans to enter Courchevel 1850 in the French Alps with a resort and Private Homes project. (Kerzner International)

15. Strategic Partnerships

Investment Corporation of Dubai

The most important corporate relationship is ownership through ICD, which controls Kerzner International Holdings and provides the wider ownership framework around One&Only. (ICD)

Lone Mountain Land Company

One&Only Moonlight Basin was developed in partnership with Lone Mountain Land Company in Montana. (Kerzner International)

Nolan Reynolds International

Kerzner is developing One&Only Hudson Valley with Nolan Reynolds International. (Kerzner International)

Culinary Institute of America

The Hudson Valley project was announced in connection with the Culinary Institute of America, adding a culinary component to the destination-development relationship. (Kerzner International)

BSP Life Fiji

One&Only has publicly identified BSP Life Fiji as a development partner associated with its Fiji Private Homes expansion. The brand’s September 2026 LinkedIn communications describe a 22-residence community on Nacula Island. (LinkedIn)

Burberry

One&Only Aesthesis has hosted a seasonal Burberry collaboration incorporating branded design elements and retail experiences at the Greek resort. (One&Only Resorts)

SEASE

One&Only and Italian lifestyle brand SEASE introduced a capsule collection offered at selected One&Only resorts. (One&Only Resorts)

Aircraft manufacturers / charter companies: No strategic portfolio-wide partnership verified during this research.

16. Key Differentiators

1. Small, highly selective global portfolio

One&Only operates considerably fewer properties than large multinational hotel groups, with 14 operating resorts identifiable as of September 2026. Its growth strategy is therefore based on a comparatively concentrated portfolio rather than mass distribution.

2. Multiple destination formats

The portfolio now spans beach, island, wilderness, city and alpine environments rather than relying exclusively on conventional resort locations. One&Only One Za’abeel and Moonlight Basin illustrate this diversification. (Kerzner International)

3. Integrated Private Homes strategy

Branded residential ownership is incorporated into selected destinations, including locations in Mexico, Mauritius, Greece, Montenegro and Montana, with further projects under development. (One&Only Resorts)

4. Strong fit with private-aviation travelers

While One&Only is not an aviation company, its high-privacy villa inventory, remote destinations, personalized transfer infrastructure and UHNW-oriented residential model make it particularly relevant to private-aircraft passengers.

5. Direct documented accommodation of private-jet arrivals

One&Only Reethi Rah explicitly publishes private-jet passenger transfer procedures, an unusually concrete connection between the hospitality operation and private aviation. (One&Only Resorts)

6. Geographic pairing of properties

Examples include Aesthesis plus Kéa Island in Greece, multiple Dubai properties, two Rwanda nature resorts and two Mexican resorts, creating multi-property destination itineraries within the same brand.

7. Government-backed corporate ownership

One&Only sits within Kerzner International Holdings, controlled by Investment Corporation of Dubai. This is structurally different from an independent boutique luxury-hotel operator. (ICD)

17. Contact & Digital Presence

Corporate / Global

Global Main Telephone: No single One&Only worldwide general telephone was prominently published in the reviewed official contact directory.

Kerzner GCC / Dubai Commercial Office: +971 4 525 4000 on the current One&Only contact directory; Kerzner’s separate 2026 trade sheet lists +971 4 524 4000. Because the two official sources differ by one digit, this field requires verification before publication as a single canonical number. (One&Only Resorts)

General Email: No single portfolio-wide public general email verified.

Global Sales Email: Regional addresses are used rather than one universal address.

GCC Sales: [email protected]
United States Sales: [email protected]

Requires Verification

Exact One&Only global legal entity: The brand operates through the Kerzner structure and various property/management entities. PrivateJetia should not invent a single legal company name for the whole portfolio.

Dubai GCC telephone: Two official Kerzner/One&Only resources currently publish slightly different numbers, +971 4 525 4000 and +971 4 524 4000. The profile should either retain both with explanatory context or verify directly before selecting one canonical number. (One&Only Resorts)

Property count terminology: The current official contact portfolio supports 14 operating One&Only resorts. Older 2025 third-party material referring to 13 destinations predates or coincides with the Moonlight Basin opening and should not supersede the current portfolio.
