One&Only marks a defining milestone with the opening of One&Only Moonlight Basin, its first resort in the United States and its debut alpine destination. Set within the sweeping wilderness of Big Sky, Montana, the new property blends architectural sophistication with rugged natural beauty across 240 acres of forested landscapes, private lakes, and far-reaching mountain views. Designed to honour the region’s dramatic terrain while elevating the modern alpine experience, the resort signals a bold new chapter for the brand’s global expansion.
Anchored in the heart of Moonlight Basin and bordered by more than 17,000 acres of protected land, the resort offers a rare sense of seclusion. Guests arrive to expansive rooms, suites, standalone cabins, and exceptional Private Homes, all crafted to frame Montana’s untamed panoramas. The architectural vision by Olson Kundig embraces low-rise design, warm materials, and immersive textures, creating an atmosphere where nature’s presence feels constant and intentional.
Across its Main Lodge, East Lodge and West Lodge, the resort introduces a spectrum of accommodations designed for families, couples, adventurers, and long-stay travellers. The Big Sky Suite stands out as a pinnacle of contemporary mountain luxury, with a wraparound terrace, outdoor soaking tub, and sweeping views of peaks and pines. Freestanding woodland cabins offer even greater privacy, each complete with its own fire pit and serene outdoor spaces.
Culinary experiences take centre stage throughout the resort, led by Executive Chef Matt Dahlkemper. At The Landing, eclectic American fare meets modern alpine inspiration just steps from the One&Only Gondola. Wildwood presents a refined ranch-to-table philosophy, while the globally acclaimed chef Akira Back brings his boundary-pushing Japanese cuisine to Big Sky, introducing a dynamic new dining destination to the region. A collection of intimate bars, lounges, and speakeasy-style hideaways complete a programme designed for every hour of the day.
Adventure is woven into the DNA of One&Only Moonlight Basin. With direct, heated-gondola access to Big Sky Resort’s slopes, guests enjoy seamless winter exploration alongside expertly guided snowshoeing, Nordic skiing, and fat-tire biking. In warmer months, guided hikes, mountain biking, fly fishing, equestrian excursions, and lakeside paddleboarding reveal the versatility of the Montana wilderness. Just an hour away, Yellowstone National Park extends the journey with geothermal wonders, wildlife encounters, and wide-open horizons.
Wellness reaches new heights within the 17,000-square-foot One&Only Spa, a sanctuary of stillness framed by the surrounding forest. Guests experience bespoke treatments supported by leading global skincare partners, oxygen therapies, steam and sauna facilities, and an indoor lap pool with glass walls that blur the boundary between indoors and outdoors. A dedicated fitness centre, outdoor yoga deck, tennis court, and restorative hydrotherapy features create a holistic retreat for rejuvenation.
Poised to redefine American alpine hospitality, One&Only Moonlight Basin brings together bold design, nature-forward experiences, and the refined service synonymous with the brand. With its opening, Montana gains a world-class retreat where wilderness and luxury coexist in perfect balance—inviting travellers to experience the mountain way of life in its most elevated form.
