HEALTH AND SAFETY UPDATE

When you choose to stay with us, we welcome you with a firm commitment that your health, safety, and wellbeing is our utmost priority. Though some offerings will be different during this period, we continue to offer choice, privacy, personalisation, and showcase the life, energy, and heartbeat of our resorts, so you can experience an escape with the highest degree of safety.

Enhanced Health & Safety

We have always had a robust and comprehensive sanitation programme, and this strong foundation allows us to adapt quickly to evolving advice from the World Health Organization and our local health officials. We will continue to monitor their guidelines and adjust our measures, with greater visibility to you, our guest. 

These include:

Training 

• All of our team are required to complete specific COVID 19 Training and re-certification of health and safety protocols prior to returning to work so they can execute their roles with confidence.

Coordination
 
• We are appointing a new COVID-19 dedicated Health, Safety & Hygiene Coordinator in each resort who will take full responsibility for implementing our enhanced health and safety programmes and report directly to each General Manager or Managing Director. 

Hygiene 

• We have introduced an overhaul of our already-stringent hygiene and sanitation measures, from increased frequency of cleaning to new cleaning and hygiene standards. 
• We offer to sanitise your luggage on arrival. Each piece will be handled carefully to guarantee safety and cleanliness prior to placing them in your room. 
• A welcome kit with protective and sanitising products is available for you to use throughout your stay. In addition, all guest rooms offer a Fitness Kit and a Kids’ Kit for family arrivals.

Physical Distancing 

• We have developed tools to enhance our guest experience without social contact. All traditional publications have been removed from guest rooms and information is available through new digital platforms, such as Guest Messaging Hubs, TV messages, Apps, and our new website (including menus, your resort compendium, etc.) 
• With uniquely large footprints, our resorts have always ensured high levels of personal space and privacy. We will continue to maximise the use of our space, from beaches and gardens to restaurants, to ensure you can relax at a safe distance. 
• We now offer new outdoor activities for children, designed with physical distancing guidelines. Where possible, we also offer bespoke private children’s arrangements.
• One&Only was the first brand to introduce the global ‘Hand on Heart’ gesture which is practised in each of our resorts. It’s a personal acknowledgment between guests and colleagues, replacing the handshake.  

Health

• Resorts have the necessary equipment in place for discreet and private temperature checking, from thermal cameras to digital infra-red thermometers.Cancellation Policy:
