Wellbeing has always been an important element of the One&Only Palmilla offering and I am looking forward to having our guests discover all of our new offerings and new facilities.”

The latest innovation at One&Only Palmilla is the OBO Salon by Jonathan & George. One&Only created this brand-new resort salon concept in collaboration with Beverly Hills celebrity stylists Jonathan Antin and Amanda George. OBO caters to those who want to “unplug without being undone” by offering a range of signature blow-drys and wedding hair, hair styles, nail services and beauty treatments which are perfect for the needs and tempo of those on a tropical beach vacation. For those guests who would prefer to arrive and get beautified at the resort rather than before they travel, the salon offers special packages, such as spray tans, nails and hair treatments, to save time. Guests may drop-in for a quick shampoo and blowout, pre-dinner touch up or choose to make a formal appointment for something more elaborate. Brides and wedding parties will find everything they need at OBO, including make-up and the perfect natural tan tailored for just the right amount of pre-wedding glow. The OBO Look Book offers inspiration for those looking for a fun, new look, with a series of styles designed to reflect the personality of each of the world’s One&Only resorts, like the Cape Town Classic or Ocean Club Bounce. The Salon offers a curated selection of the very best in retail hair products sourced from the US and Europe, with a small bespoke collection from California.

I am thrilled we can offer exactly what our clients and the resort’s guests are looking for while on holiday.”
