One&Onlydelights

A perfect lunch of delicatessen delights was spread out on our long kitchen table at Select Collection for a mingle and meeting with our cherished partners One&Only.

Visiting us on Tuesday were Lore Koenig Executive Director Sales at One&Only, and Pauline Massena, Head of Sales at One&Only Le Saint Geran, one of our Mauritius gems.

Here are a few snapshots of this occasion....

Lore and I are old friends. We always have a lot to talk about - apart from our thriving business relationship.

Select customers love One&Only, which is one of the world's most elite and luxurious hotel chains. For the existing One&Only resorts in our current Select Collection, click HERE.

Only in Dubai

Dubai is an exciting, glittering, sci-fi city. Best seen from over the water from the peaceful and luxurious One&Only The Palm.

This was the view from our plush room...

An oasis of calm on the celebrated man-made island, One&Only The Palm feels as if it has been here forever with its poise and certainty among an extravagant grove of palms. With the city and its attractions within easy reach, you can relax on the beach or by the pool and dine in pleasurable style at One&Only The Palm.

Gracious style

Beauty, class, lifestyle...

One&Only Reethi Rah is famous for its beauty, class and lifestyle. The island was extended to create the most amazing paradise beaches, 11 long white curving stretches of sand lined by coconut palms. 

One of the beautiful long beaches

You can stay in a villa on one of those beaches, or nearby, perched over the water. We tried both types of accommodation. Our favourite was the Beach Pool Villa

Enjoying life

With our sweet beach friend

On a romantic and rather big tropical island...

Jungle and tropical flowers give the island a lush and natural feel. And there is lots to do – from tennis, snorkling, and diving to just enjoying the celebrated lifestyle with its choice of vibey restaurants, entertainment, DJs, wine tastings and lots of  smartly casual sun-blessed fashion to please the eye.
