One&Only Moonlight Basin has officially opened as the United States’ first alpine resort and private residential community, set within the breathtaking Moonlight Basin landscape of Big Sky, Montana. Spanning 240 secluded acres and surrounded by over 17,000 acres of protected land, the resort combines natural beauty with ultra-luxury living. Located just an hour from Bozeman and near Yellowstone National Park, it offers guests a curated selection of alpine-inspired rooms, suites, cabins, and private homes, all crafted to celebrate Montana’s dramatic mountain scenery.
The resort marks a milestone for One&Only as it expands into the U.S. hospitality market. Developed in partnership with Lone Mountain Land Company, One&Only Moonlight Basin blends bespoke outdoor adventures, elevated culinary experiences, and world-class wellness to immerse guests in Montana’s rugged charm. According to Mark Kirby, President of One&Only, the property embodies wild beauty, bold design, and deep local connection, reflecting the brand’s vision for a new era of luxury in the American wilderness.
Architect Tom Kundig of Olson Kundig designed the property as a low-rise development that allows nature to take center stage. Across the Main Lodge, East Lodge, and West Lodge, guests can choose from elegant rooms, spacious suites, and interconnected family accommodations. Freestanding cabins offer additional privacy, complete with fire pits and outdoor soaking tubs, ideal for intimate mountain escapes. The signature Big Sky Suite features panoramic views, a wraparound terrace, and expansive living spaces perfect for entertaining.
For guests seeking residential-style luxury, the four- to six-bedroom private homes blend contemporary mountain architecture with Montana’s dramatic landscape. These homes include gourmet kitchens, hot tubs, indoor-outdoor living setups, and easy garage access. Designed for families and groups, they deliver the comforts of a premium residence paired with the resort’s curated experiences, from guided adventures to dedicated concierge support.
Dining at One&Only Moonlight Basin showcases Montana’s diverse bounty through innovative cuisine led by Executive Chef Matt Dahlkemper. Guests can enjoy imaginative alpine dishes at The Landing, nourishing farm-to-table meals at Wildwood, and modern Japanese cuisine by Michelin-starred Chef Akira Back. The property also offers unique culinary venues, including a Prohibition-era-inspired cocktail bar, an exclusive whiskey-and-cigar speakeasy in the woods, coffee and pastry grab-and-go options, and vibrant poolside dining.
An all-season adventure hub, the resort offers winter ski access via the heated One&Only Gondola, plus world-class snowshoeing, Nordic skiing, and fat-tire biking trails. Summer brings hiking, mountain biking, fly fishing, paddle boarding, and equestrian rides across Moonlight Basin’s scenic terrain. Guests can also explore Yellowstone National Park through guided tours and nighttime stargasing sessions at the resort’s private Observatory.
