One&Only Moonlight Basin

One&Only Moonlight Basin Nestles Harmoniously Amidst Big Sky’s Alpine Canopy One&Only Moonlight Basin marks the brand’s milestone debut in the United States and its first alpine resort, embodying the pinnacle of ultra-luxury mountain living from the inside out. Its design, architecture, and art curation unfold as a collaborative, exploratory journey, uniting the hospitality brilliance of Kerzner International, the world-renowned architecture firm Olson Kundig, and Montana-based boutique art advisory, Echo Arts. Approached via winding mountainside roads through Big Sky’s dense forests and framed by southwestern Montana’s iconic riverways, One&Only Moonlight Basin’s discreet structures gracefully peek out from the trees. The resort offers a profound sense of seclusion within Moonlight Basin’s immaculate surroundings, where weathered wood with accents of steel and stone echo the tones and textures of the environment. Low, broad rooflines disappear into the alpine canopy, and thoughtfully placed buildings sit within the slope – quiet to the land and effortlessly blending into the rich Montana wilderness. Precious resources characterize One&Only Moonlight Basin’s curated art collection, drawing inspiration from Montana’s foundational elements of water, timber, and minerals. Reflecting the complexity of the landscape’s beauty, these themes are expressed through artwork that explores water systems and scarcity, forest health and fire, and the extraction and reclamation of minerals. Warm, tactile furnishings sit alongside inventive visual storytelling that is woven throughout the resort, crafted from natural materials such as live-edge wood, oak, stone, leather, wool, and blackened steel. A nod to its home in Big Sky, Montana, custom pieces reference Western craftmanship, from textured upholstery and hammered hardware to stone coffee tables and hand-stitched leather details.
