The developers of Dubai's Atlantis hotel on Palm Jumierah have announced they are opening a new Atlantis resort in China.
Kerzner International, the development company behind Atlantis resorts in The Bahamas and Dubai said the hotel will be built along the Haitang Bay national coast overlooking the South China Sea.
"I am very excited to be bringing Atlantis to China," said Sol Kerzner, Chairman of Kerzner. "I know this property will astonish and amaze guests -- I have been working with the designers to come up with something that captures all the wonders of Atlantis, with its magnificent sense of discovery, whilst also introducing new experiences specifically for Sanya. I can't wait to unveil this resort to the world."
"China is the perfect location for our next Atlantis destination resort. This resort is set to quickly become a new landmark in China and will introduce the fun, interactive entertainment experiences at the heart of the Atlantis philosophy. I am thrilled that we are able to continue to innovate on the Atlantis adventure," added Alan Leibman, CEO of Kerzner.
The Chinese version, which will begin construction later this year and open in 2016 will also have an Aquaventure waterpark, marine life exhibits and various high-end restaurants.
