Emirates One & Only is a world class resort. Located near the Blue Mountains, One & Only is an all-inclusive resort nestled in a private section of Wolgan Valley, set amidst wild kangaroos, wallaroos, wallabies and wombats. Each private villa has it s own private heated pool, and come with mountain bikes so that you can trek around the property. The rooms are gorgeous, lots of wood, stone, and a self-lighting fireplace giving a rustic feel in the middle of luxury. The food has a wide variety of options, with both a breakfast buffet and a menu based selection. Menus serve up the best of local ingredients in modern Australian style. On the location itself you can experience walking tours or bike routes, and also can go in a 4x4 with staff to drive around the property and learn about the flora and fauna. We also tried a campfire under the stars, which included toasted marshmallows, mulled wine, hot chocolate, and a large telescope that the guide brought to show us various planets and constellations. We were able to see Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn, including seeing Saturn s rings, which was a first for me. While not an inexpensive vacation by any means, One & Only is an unforgettable location and worth adding to the list of places to visit before you die.
