Experience Intimate Japanese Dining

One&Only Palmilla
San Jose del Cabo, Mexico
Cradled on the cusp of the Baja Peninsula, with panoramas over the Sea of Cortez, One&Only Palmilla is a legendary Mexican retreat. Amidst relaxing spa mornings and adventure-filled afternoons, take some time to savor One&Only Palmilla’s newest culinary experience: Hoshi.
An intimate, 28-seat omakase experience, Hoshi merges traditional Japanese ingredients with modern culinary techniques. Choose from a 10-, 12-, or 13-course set menu, featuring the freshest local ingredients and premium Japanese imports. Each of the plates – from the high-quality nigiri sushi to the light and airy tempura to the adorable petit fours – while seemingly simple, will mesmerize your tastebuds and transport you to The Land of the Rising Sun.
Uncork the Magic

One&Only Cape Town
Cape Town, South Africa
Explore the beauty of South Africa from the ideally located One&Only Cape Town. Wake up to majestic views of Table Mountain or Cape Grace Marina before heading out for a day of hiking, beach going, or city slicking. Beyond the nature and city sights, many visitors are surprised to discover that South Africa boasts a burgeoning wine industry, with half a dozen viticultural regions scattered across the country.
At One&Only Cape Town, you can dive into the mind of local wine expert Luvo Ntezo, the Head Sommelier, with an exclusive wine blending experience. Guided by Ntezo himself, you’ll use beloved local wines to create your own signature blend. Once you’ve found the perfect balance, share your new creation over dinner or have it bottled to take home. Alternatively, take a One&Only Cape Town curated trip to the Cape Winelands’ Wimonsig Wine Estate, where you’ll take a behind-the-scenes tour of a working winery and indulge in a spectacular wine-focused picnic. Either way, you’ll leave with an even greater appreciation for South Africa’s best reds and whites.

One&Only One Za’abeel
Dubai, UAE
Situated in the heart of Dubai, within easy reach of the city’s financial, retail, dining and transport hubs, One&Only One Za’abeel is an ideal homebase to explore this cosmopolitan hotspot. That said, you’ll definitely want to stay in on occasion to enjoy the foodie haven that is The Link at One Za’abeel.
With Michelin-starred chefs and mixologist maestros masterminding eleven world-class restaurants and bars, The Link is a Dubai bucket list item. If you’re hoping for a fancy meal, savor Michelin-star-chef-created dishes at Andalusian-inspired Qabu, Thai-focused Duangdy by Bo. Lan, and French-influenced La Dame de Pic. Plus, there’s always the option to enjoy more casual bites like juicy shawarma at Arrazuna or flavorful tapas at StreetXO. As if the food scene wasn’t enough on its own, this futuristic boulevard floats 300 feet above the city – and has a pool at the center of the action. Talk about elevating dining to new heights!
