KERZNER INTERNATIONAL HOLDINGS LIMITED
Kerzner International Holdings Limited is a company registered in the Bahamas, on file with the Registrar General’s Department in Nassau, where its records show an “Active” status; a registration number and incorporation date are not published by the registry. The company is the top holding entity of the Kerzner International hospitality group, whose predecessor, the New York Stock Exchange–listed Kerzner International Limited (ticker KZL), was taken private in 2006 in a roughly 3.6 billion US dollar transaction led by then-chairman Sol Kerzner and chief executive Howard “Butch” Kerzner, alongside an investor group comprising Istithmar PJSC, Whitehall Street Global Real Estate (Goldman Sachs), Colony Capital, Providence Equity Partners and The Related Companies, according to the company’s own 2006 filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. Following that transaction the group’s ordinary shares were deregistered and delisted from the NYSE.
Kerzner International traces its operating history to 1993, when Sol Kerzner incorporated Sun International Hotels Limited in the Bahamas to acquire the Paradise Island resort complex. The group’s Atlantis Paradise Island resort and One&Only Ocean Club were later transferred to Brookfield Asset Management as part of a 2011–2012 debt restructuring, and Kerzner’s management contract for that Bahamas property ended in September 2014, according to contemporaneous reporting.
Operating today from a corporate office in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, the group develops and manages destination resorts under the Atlantis, One&Only, SIRO and Rare Finds brands. Kerzner’s own website lists properties trading under these brands across the Middle East, Africa, Asia, Europe and the Americas, including Atlantis The Palm and The Royal Atlantis in Dubai, One&Only resorts in Mauritius, the Maldives, Mexico, Rwanda, Montenegro and Malaysia, and the SIRO fitness-focused hotel concept launched at One Za’abeel, Dubai, in February 2024. In 2025 Kerzner announced plans, in partnership with Saudi developer Midad Real Estate, to bring the Atlantis and One&Only brands to Jeddah as part of the Jeddah Central masterplan.

Shareholders
Shareholders of Kerzner International Holdings Limited
The Bahamas Registrar General’s Department administers beneficial-ownership filings under the jurisdiction’s Beneficial Ownership regime, but these records are not published for public search, so no current shareholder register is available directly from the Bahamas registry for Kerzner International Holdings Limited.
The most substantive shareholder information located comes from contemporaneous news coverage of a corporate transaction: in April 2014, Investment Corporation of Dubai (ICD) – the principal investment arm of the Government of Dubai – purchased a “significant equity interest” in Kerzner International Holdings Limited from the Kerzner family, reported by Reuters and other outlets at approximately 46% of the company. Istithmar World and investment vehicles affiliated with Goldman Sachs (Whitehall Street Global Real Estate) and Colony Capital, which had held stakes since the company’s 2006 take-private transaction, were reported at the time to retain “significant” minority holdings, though their resulting percentages were not disclosed. No shareholder disclosure more recent than the April 2014 transaction was located.
Data availability
The available shareholder information for Kerzner International Holdings Limited is best described as historical and restricted: the Bahamas registry does not publish beneficial-ownership data, and the most recent verifiable disclosure is press coverage of the April 2014 Investment Corporation of Dubai transaction, which may not reflect the company’s current shareholder base.

Officers
Directors and officers of Kerzner International Holdings Limited
Bahamas company registries do not require public filing of director or officer information, and no director or officer register for Kerzner International Holdings Limited is publicly searchable through the Registrar General’s Department. The overview below therefore reflects senior corporate leadership disclosed directly by the company and in press coverage of its own announcements, rather than a registry filing, and should not be read as a complete or registry-verified officer list.
Mohammed Al Shaibani has served as Chairman of Kerzner International Holdings Limited’s board since April 2014, when he succeeded founder Sol Kerzner following Investment Corporation of Dubai’s acquisition of its equity stake; he is also Managing Director of Investment Corporation of Dubai and Director-General of the Dubai Ruler’s Court. Philippe Zuber has served as Chief Executive Officer since 22 July 2020, when Kerzner announced a leadership restructuring under which then-CEO Michael Wale moved to the company’s Board of Directors and Zuber, previously President and Chief Operating Officer of One&Only Resorts (a role he had held since joining the company in December 2015), was promoted to CEO. Nationality and country of residence are not disclosed in the sources reviewed for either individual.

Group Structure
Group structure of Kerzner International Holdings Limited
No parent, subsidiary or sister-company relationship for Kerzner International Holdings Limited is verified through the Bahamas registry, which does not publish comprehensive corporate-linkage information for companies in this jurisdiction. The most substantial external evidence of a corporate relationship is Investment Corporation of Dubai’s reported approximately 46% equity acquisition in April 2014, discussed in the shareholders section above; this is a reported shareholding rather than a registry-confirmed parent-subsidiary filing, so it is not presented here as a verified corporate-group relationship. Historical U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission filings confirm that the group’s predecessor, the NYSE-listed Kerzner International Limited, was taken private in 2006 through a merger backed by an investor consortium (Istithmar, Whitehall Street/Goldman Sachs, Colony Capital, Providence Equity Partners and The Related Companies), but no current, registry-verified ownership chain linking that 2006 transaction to present-day subsidiaries of Kerzner International Holdings Limited was located.
Data availability
Corporate-linkage information for Kerzner International Holdings Limited is not public through the Bahamas registry, and no additional verified parent, subsidiary or sister-company relationships were identified from external sources at the time of research.
