Hawaii is to get the first US Atlantis resort after a deal was struck for a 800-room hotel project in Ko Olina, West Oahu.
Kerzner International has signed an agreement with China Oceanwide for the 26-acre development which also includes 524 residences, restaurants, retail outlets, a beach club, spa and fitness center, and event space.
A water park and aquarium will also be built.
Kerzner operates the Atlantis resort in Dubai and the Atlantis in Sanya, China is due to open in 2017.
"We believe strongly that Atlantis will bolster Hawaii’s already strong tourism market, increasing visitor spending and adding much-needed hotel rooms to the island," Steven Wang, senior vice president, Oceanwide Hawaii said in a statement.
"As the first of several major projects Oceanwide is introducing in the state, we are committed to collaborating with our partners and becoming an active, long-term contributor to the local community through our developments."
Kerzner has not yet disclosed the expected opening date.
