HONG KONG – Dubai World, which is owned by the Government of Dubai, will partner with One&Only Resorts in the development and management of its new US$150 million luxury resort in Zanzibar.

One&Only Zanzibar, scheduled to open in 2009, will feature a 150-room luxury hotel, a 50-room residence and a spa retreat on a 76-hectare site at Muyuni Beach. This is on an exclusive part of Zanzibar overlooking an atoll of coral reefs, boasting some of Africa’s leading dive sites.

The resort is a 45-minute drive to Stone Town, the island’s famous world heritage site, and only a 15-minute flight from Dar Es Salam as well as within easy flight access from Dubai and Nairobi.

Chairman of Dubai World Sultan bin Sulayem said the Zanzibar resort aimed to be one of the most beautiful and luxurious resort destinations in the world.

One&Only Resorts is one of the world’s premier luxury hotel brands with six resorts in the Bahamas, Dubai, the Maldives, Mauritius and Mexico. The award-winning group is owned by Kerzner International in which Istithmar, a Dubai World company, holds a share.
