Rare Finds

Kerzner International launches new resort collection

Kerzner International, owner of Atlantis Resorts and Residences and One&Only Resorts, today announced the launch of a new hotel collection: Rare Finds is emphatically individual, imaginative and unique in terms of offering, location and characteristics. The vision: to bring the essence of a place to the fore, to bring people together through authentic and soulful experiences and to make room for the undiscovered.

The first resort to be announced as part of the new collection is the Bab Al Shams Desert Resort - Dubai's legendary desert resort, which will close for a comprehensive redesign from May 2022 and reopen in early 2023 as part of Kerzner's Rare Finds collection. The redesign will both remain true to the authenticity of the property and break new aesthetic ground.

The focus is on the authentic experience. Be it world-class cuisine in the open air, individually tailored (outdoor) activities or relaxation in the popular infinity pool. From horse riding in the desert, stargazing with in-house astronomers, sandboarding in the dunes, archery, exciting desert safaris, stories around the campfire to thrilling hot air balloon rides - a wide range of experts will ensure that Rare Finds lives up to its name.

"I am delighted to welcome Bab Al Shams Desert Resort to the newly launched Rare Finds collection. The acquisition of this historic desert resort is a sign of Kerzner International's continued growth and expansion in the region," commented Philippe Zuber, CEO of Kerzner International. "We have been part of Dubai's history with One&Only Royal Mirage, one of the first ultra-luxury resorts, followed by the ground-breaking Atlantis The Palm. With the upcoming openings of Atlantis The Royal Resort & Residences later this year, and One&Only One Za'abeel and Bab Al Shams next year, we are making our mark on the destination. We are proud to continue to be part of Dubai's future and look forward to welcoming guests as they discover this new, evolved idyllic retreat."
