A Sprawling Spa, Heated Gondola, and Private Alpine Lakes—a New One&Only Brings Resort Luxury to Montana

Big Sky Resort just welcomed One&Only Moonlight Basin, the most exciting hotel opening in this scenic ski town.

A global luxury brand best known for lavish beach escapes and glamorous resorts in destinations such as the Maldives, Mexico, Greece, and Dubai has chosen a very different backdrop for its debut in the United States: the mountains of Montana.

One&Only Moonlight Basin, which opened in Big Sky on November 18, is the brand’s first American property.

The resort sits on 240 acres at Moonlight Basin, bordered by more than 17,000 additional acres of preserved land. It’s roughly an hour from the Bozeman Yellowstone International Airport (BZN) and about an hour drive from the West Entrance to Yellowstone National Park—close enough to enjoy wildlife safari, fly-fishing, and geothermal day trips. And, of course, Big Sky Resort, accessed via the property’s gondola, offers more than 5,800 acres of lift-served terrain, making it one of the largest ski and snowboard areas in North America.
