ONE&ONLY ZA'ABEEL A SPECTACULAR URBAN STAGE AT THE CENTRE OF EVERYTHING

The leader in ultra-luxury hospitality, Kerzner International has officially unveiled its first urban vertical resort. Now open in Dubai, One&Only One Za’abeel brings all the life, energy, and glamour of the brand’s iconic beach resorts to a captivating cosmopolitan setting, where exceptional dining, innovative wellness and curated experiences create a spectacular urban stage at the centre of everything..



The first-ever urban resort from the ultra-luxury hospitality brand, One&Only One Za’abeel is where Dubai’s visionary allure and traditional hospitality converge. A captivating duality, the vertical masterpiece offers spacious accommodation, epicurean journeys, arts and culture experiences, and wellness programmes to residents and luxury travellers alike.


The iconic destination, located in the One Za’abeel development by acclaimed architects Nikken Sekkei, is a direct reflection of the luxury resort’s dualistic nature, boasting dual skyscrapers which are dramatically intersected by the world’s longest cantilever, The Link – a futuristic boulevard floating 100 metres above the street.


ELEMENTAL ELEGANCE

Setting an incomparable standard of seclusion and exclusivity in keeping with One&Only’s overarching philosophy, One&Only One Za’abeel’s expansively spacious roomssuites, and Villa One penthouse are amongst the largest that the city of Dubai has to offer.  Masterfully designed by Jean-Michel Gathy, the interiors draw inspiration from the surrounding Za’abeel location. Translating to ‘white sand’ in the local Emirati dialect, Za’abeel’s soulful and traditional aura is indeed intuitively woven into the resort’s DNA, with a soothing neutral colour palette and subtle sand motifs in its textiles, artworks, and sculptural lighting. 



Marking yet another first for One&Only, a one-of-a-kind collection of corner suites feature exceptional amenities for discerning travellers. Designed for seamless city living, the Za’abeel Suite offers 180-degree views of Dubai’s ever-evolving skyline. For a pampering wellness stay, the Sanctuary Suites include a massage table, and in-room spa treatments, while the Creative Suitesfeature acoustic panelling, the latest AV technology, and an in-suite private cocktail soirée for up to 10 guests. The Urban Suitehas been crafted with executive travel in mind including a state-of-the-art meeting space for intimate meetings and remote working. 


The Royal Suite, offers three distinct and spacious living areas which boast a sumptuous lounge with standalone bar, a dedicated dining area with seating for 10 guests, and a private sitting room. The resort additionally introduces a series of two-storey spaces, including Skyline Loft and Villa One, adding yet another dimension of excellence and glamour to its accommodations. Spanning 755sqm, the Villa One penthouse reimagines One&Only’s signature beach villas like never before, taking Arabian extravagance to contemporary heights. From two bedrooms, a sleek majlis (reception lounge), an outdoor infinity pool, a cinema, and a gym, to exclusive benefits including a dedicated host, in-villa personal training and spa treatments, and access to a private chef, there is no shortage of indulgence at Villa One.
