Dubai-based hotel developer and operator Kerzner International Holdings Limited entered into an agreement with developer China Oceanwide to build the Atlantis resort in Ko Olina, a 642-acre development on the white sand beaches of the island of O’ahu in Hawaii. It will be the first Atlantis resort in the United States.

The 800-room resort, spanning 26 acres, will be similar in design to Atlantis The Palm in Dubai, with the signature Aquaventure waterpark, plus an interactive aquarium, dolphin center and shark habitat. The five-star resort also will have more than 20 restaurants, a nightclub, spas, salons and a fitness center.

Kerzner said it plans to continue to grow Atlantis, its flagship brand, globally. It will open the Atlantis Sanya Hainan in China next year.
