Kerzner International Holdings, a leading international developer and operator of destination resorts and luxury hotels, has entered into an agreement with Sevens Holding to develop and operate a new One&Only resort in Seef, Bahrain.

This new resort is scheduled to begin welcoming guests in 2016.

Sevens Holding is a Bahrain-based diverse company involved in the hospitality and real estate sectors.

With approximately 150 luxurious guest rooms and suites as well as villas and estates, world-class dining and retail options, plus a One&Only Spa, the resort is set to become a destination for both business and leisure, Kerzner said.

The property will be strategically located in Seef, on the northwestern coast of Bahrain, and will have a private beachfront. In addition, the resort will boast extensive meeting facilities.

“I am thrilled we are able to partner with Sevens Holding to develop this world-class destination. More and more visitors are discovering Bahrain for both leisure and business and I am looking forward to introducing the resort to our loyal One&Only guests and new guests alike,” said Alan Leibman, CEO, Kerzner International. “The beachfront location is remarkable and I am very confident that the resort will define ultra-luxury in Bahrain.”

Like all properties within the One&Only collection, One&Only Bahrain will place an emphasis on privacy with a variety of accommodation, including exclusive luxury villas and secluded estates that are perfect for large families, he said.

The resort will evoke a ‘sense of place’, showcasing Bahrain’s rich history and reflecting the local culture with a design appeal to attract the contemporary traveller seeking ultimate luxury, the company said.

The stylish resort will also be home to a variety of boutiques from the world’s leading brands, offering the very latest in retail indulgence.

A signature of One&Only, this resort will offer innovative programming for families with children whilst carefully preserving space for adults only as well. Guests will also have access to a host of unique sporting and entertainment facilities on-site.

Created exclusively for the luxury resort market, One&Only Resorts are conceived as hallmarks of excellence. Set in some of the most beautiful locales in the world, each award-winning resort offers guests a distinctive style and personality borne of its local culture, a genuine hospitality and a lively energy that is unrivalled, Kerzner said.

Kerzner’s flagship brand is Atlantis, which includes Atlantis, The Palm, Dubai; and Atlantis, Paradise Island, The Cove Atlantis and The Reef Atlantis in The Bahamas.
