One&Only set to launch first One&Only Spa by Chenot
POSTED 11 Dec 2019 . BY Megan Whitby
One&Only Desaru Coast, Malaysia is slated to open on 23 March 2020.

One&Only Desaru Coast will be our first resort in Asia as part of the continued strategic growth of the brand.
– Philippe Zuber, COO Kerzner International
The first One&Only Spa by Chenot will open at the One&Only Desaru Coast, Malaysia, on 23 March 2020. One&Only is owned by resort developer and operator, Kerzner International.

The new spa is a result of the partnership between One&Only and Chenot – the medical health and wellness retreat operator by Henri Chenot. The bespoke concept has been exclusively developed by Chenot for One&Only.

Henri Chenot has over 45 years’ experience in preventative and regenerative treatments and is responsible for developing the Chenot Method, a programme that aims to protect the body from damage, the build-up of toxins and premature ageing. The method comprises an amalgamation of treatments and nutritional advice and blends the principles of Chinese healing with advanced western medicine.

Treatments will include Chenot’s diagnostics assessments and crafted wellness experiences based on science, bespoke to the needs of the individual. Guests will be able to choose from a range of spa and beauty treatments as well as having access to tailored nutrition programmes, fitness schedules and meditation and mindfulness classes.

The 1,455sq m spa menu will feature bio-energetic check-ups, facials, Chenot signature body massages and phyto-mud treatments.

In addition, guests will be offered bespoke nail care, supplied by Pedi:Mani:Cure Studio by Bastien Gonzalez.

Designed by Australia’s Kerry Hill Architects, the resort has been conceived as a modern take on the traditional Malaysian ‘kampung’ or village.

Philippe Zuber, COO Kerzner International, said: “One&Only Desaru Coast will be our first resort in Asia as part of the continued strategic growth of the brand, and Malaysia’s breathtaking coastline and rich heritage makes it the perfect location for us to introduce our brand to the region”.

Located on the south-eastern shoreline of Malaysia, the 45-room resort will sit among 128 acres of wild flora and be flanked by a secluded coastline, offering uninterrupted views of the ocean and rainforest.

Resort facilities include a Technogym-equipped fitness studio, infinity pool, the Ember Beach Club, a pilates studio, tennis courts, kids club and yoga pavilion with panoramic ocean-views.

The destination joins six other One&Only pipeline resort projects.
