Now open in Dubai, One&Only One Za’abeel brings the life, energy, and glamour of the brand’s famous beach resorts to a cosmopolitan setting. 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 come together. The vertical masterpiece offers spacious accommodation, culinary journeys, arts and culture experiences, and wellness programs to residents and luxury travelers.
The iconic destination, located in the One Za’abeel development by acclaimed architects Nikken Sekkei, reflects the luxury resort’s dualistic nature. It boasts dual skyscrapers dramatically intersected by the world’s longest cantilever, The Link – a futuristic boulevard floating 100 meters above the street.
Setting a standard of seclusion and exclusivity in line with One&Only’s philosophy, One&Only One Za’abeel’s spacious rooms, suites, and Villa One penthouse are among the largest in Dubai. Designed by Jean-Michel Gathy, the interiors draw inspiration from the Za’abeel location, translating to ‘white sand’ in the local Emirati dialect. Za’abeel’s traditional aura is woven into the resort’s DNA, with a soothing neutral color palette and subtle sand motifs in textiles, artworks, and sculptural lighting.
A unique collection of corner suites includes the Za’abeel Suite with 180-degree views, Sanctuary Suites for a wellness stay, Creative Suites with AV technology, and an Urban Suite for executive travel, including a state-of-the-art meeting space.
The Royal Suite, with three distinct and spacious living areas, features a luxurious lounge with a standalone bar, a dedicated dining area for 10 guests, and a private sitting room. The resort introduces two-storey spaces like Skyline Loft and Villa One, enhancing its accommodations. The 755sqm Villa One penthouse reimagines One&Only’s beach villas, offering Arabian extravagance with two bedrooms, a sleek majlis, an outdoor infinity pool, a cinema, a gym, and exclusive benefits such as a dedicated host, in-villa personal training, spa treatments, and access to a private chef.
Within the development are the exclusive One&Only One Za’abeel Private Homes, representing the pinnacle of luxury living in Dubai. These branded residences unlock an exclusive community, privileges, and vibrant life at their doorstep.
The Link, a thriving lifestyle destination, brings globally renowned chefs and masterful mixologists together for unparalleled dining experiences. Michelin-lauded chefs like Anne-Sophie Pic, Bo Songvisava, Dylan Jones, Mehmet Gürs, Paco Morales, and Tetsuya Wakuda contribute to Dubai’s culinary scene. The avant-garde Sphere elevates Dubai’s nightlife, while Tapasake on top of The Link serves contemporary Nikkei cuisine against the backdrop of unobstructed views.
Dabiz Muñoz, crowned the Best Chef in the World in 2023, brings StreetXO to Dubai. One&Only also offers vibrant Indonesian cuisine at Andaliman and Aelia’s delightful French Riviera experience. The 4th-floor Bali-inspired Garden Pool features a relaxed al fresco lifestyle with tropical greenery, a family swimming pool, and a swim-up bar.
One&Only One Za’abeel crafts unique experiences, including cocktail masterclasses, sunrise yoga, art tours, film nights, and regional wine discovery sessions. The resort incorporates two gala ballrooms, six meeting rooms, and a private club for suites on the 53rd floor, creating a home away from home. The KidsOnly club offers entertainment and activities inspired by the UAE’s space mission for junior guests aged four to 12.
Harnessing the transformative power of health science, pioneering aesthetic solutions, and holistic wellness, One&Only One Za’abeel hosts the first Longevity Hub by Clinique La Prairie in the UAE.
The Longevity Hub by Clinique La Prairie, spread over three floors within the resort, is set to provide ultra-personalized wellness journeys. It offers a distilled version of the Swiss brand’s science and services, focusing on three interconnected pillars: Longevity, Wellbeing, and Aesthetics. The Hub includes 29 treatment rooms for wellbeing and clinical therapies, a Movement Studio with state-of-the-art gym facilities, a Longevity Bar, and the first Longevity Index lounge in the region.
