FIELD NOTES: One&Only Moonlight Basin
Advisor Scouting Report: Opening Fam Trip, December 2025
This winter’s opening of One&Only Moonlight Basin marked the brand’s first U.S. property — and one of the most anticipated hotel debuts in recent years.
During its opening month in December, Arbiter Travel’s Caitlin Johnson was among the first group of travel advisors invited to experience the property firsthand on an exclusive familiarization trip, offering an early look at what will soon become one of the country’s most compelling mountain retreats.
Designed for travelers seeking both stillness and adventure, One&Only Moonlight Basin delivers a true sense of escape. Set high above Big Sky with ski-in / ski-out gondola access, the property blends Montana’s expansive landscape with One&Only’s signature restraint — polished, calm, and quietly luxurious.
With direct gondola access from the property, guests can ski straight into Big Sky’s vast terrain, then return to a secluded mountainside retreat far removed from the crowds.
Days unfold slowly here — spa treatments with sweeping alpine views, thoughtful dining rooted in seasonality, and a curated mix of on- and off-property experiences that feel intentional rather than overprogrammed.
From fireside nights under the stars to slow spa mornings and uncrowded days on the mountain, this is alpine hospitality with a strong sense of place.
