Kerzner International recently celebrated the grand opening of its newest venture, the One&Only One Za'abeel in Dubai, marking a significant milestone as their inaugural urban high-rise resort. The resort's interior design, crafted by Jean-Michel Gathy, boasts a harmonious blend of rooms, suites, and the standout Villa One penthouse, all adorned with a soothing neutral color scheme and delicate sand-inspired elements in its textiles, artworks, and unique sculptural lighting.

This luxury destination is distinguished by its two towering skyscrapers, connected by the world's longest cantilever, The Link - a majestic sky-high boulevard situated 100 meters above ground. The resort offers a variety of suite options: the Za'abeel Suite with panoramic views of Dubai's skyline, Creative Suites equipped with advanced acoustics and AV technology, and the lavish Royal Suite, which includes three distinct living spaces, a dining area for 10, and a private sitting room.

Additionally, the resort features two-level accommodations like the Skyline Loft and Villa One. The 755sqm Villa One penthouse redefines luxury with a design reminiscent of One&Only's signature beach villas, offering two bedrooms, a majlis, an outdoor infinity pool, a private cinema, and a gym, complete with a personal chef service.

The Link will host a range of F&B options, including Tapasake on its summit, offering contemporary Nikkei cuisine alongside the UAE's longest suspended infinity pool with stunning Dubai skyline views. The resort will also introduce Dabiz Muñoz's renowned StreetXO concept to Dubai, alongside Andaliman, One&Only's latest concept offering Indonesian fare, and Aelia, celebrating French Riviera cuisine.

Event and meeting facilities include two grand ballrooms, six meeting rooms, and an exclusive club on the 53rd floor for suite guests. The resort also introduces the UAE's first Longevity Hub by Clinique La Prairie, spanning three floors with 29 treatment rooms, a Movement Studio, a Longevity Bar, and the region's first Longevity Index lounge.

Philippe Zuber, CEO of Kerzner International, expressed pride in leading the way in innovative hospitality experiences with One&Only One Za'abeel, stating, "We have set aside convention and reinvented what an ultra-luxury resort in the heart of the city can deliver. Adding to Dubai's dynamic skyline and embracing the soul of the city, this architectural landmark pushes the boundaries of excellence and vibrant city living - we're thrilled to welcome the world into our first Urban Resort."
