Kerzner International facts

Kerzner International Holdings Limited, through its subsidiaries, is a leading international developer and operator of destination resorts, casinos and luxury hotels.

Kerzner's flagship brand is Atlantis, which includes Atlantis, Paradise Island, an ocean-themed destination resort in The Bahamas. This unique destination features a variety of accommodations, all built around a 100-acre waterscape with over 20 million gallons of fresh and saltwater lagoons, pools and habitats, the world's largest open-air marine habitat and some of the most beautiful beaches in the world.

Kerzner is extending its Atlantis brand globally with the development of Atlantis, The Palm, Dubai, a 1,500-room, water-themed resort expected to open in late 2008 on The Palm, Jumeirah.

Kerzner also manages six luxury resort hotels under the One&Only brand. The resorts, featuring some of the top-rated properties in the world, are located in The Bahamas, Mexico, Mauritius, the Maldives and Dubai. An additional One&Only property is currently in the development stages in South Africa.

A new $1 billion expansion on Paradise Island opened in early 2007, that added 3,000 new employees, 600 new guest rooms at The Cove Atlantis -- overlooking some of the most spectacular white sand beaches on the island.

The migration of Atlantis from a resort to a destination includes the recently opened Marina Village with 21 retail outlets and five new restaurants including the revival of the legendary Café Martinique by renowned chef Jean-Georges Vongerichten.

In addition, in 2006, Nobu, the internationally-acclaimed new style Japanese restaurant conceived and run by heralded chef Nobu Matsuhisa, opened in the Atlantis Casino. The 2007 opening of The Cove unveiled Bobby Flay's Mesa Grill, his first outside the United States. E-mail to a friend
