The legendary Atlantis Resorts and Residences in Dubai and the luxurious One&Only Resorts are known all over the world. What is less well known is that they are all owned by Kerzner International Holdings Limited. Kerzner is one of the leading global developers and operators of innovative resorts, luxury hotels and residences. And as such, now they present the new hotel collection Rare Finds .

This is a collection of hotels and resorts that focus on the quintessence of the destination. They feature fascinating accommodations that allow for unique discoveries and convey the culture of a destination. As different as the individual member establishments are, they are united in their objective. All establishments have a special identity, top location and their own character.

Bab Al Shams Desert Resort becomes a member

The legendary desert resort of Bab Al Shams, owned by Meydan, is currently closed and will undergo a major redevelopment by early 2023. When it reopens, it will be one of the first members of Rare Finds. It will be managed by Kerzner. Philippe Zuber, CEO of Kerzner International:

"We are proud to continue to be part of Dubai's future and look forward to welcoming guests as they discover this new, evolved idyllic retreat."

Comprehensive redesign

The legendary desert resort opens with a completely new aesthetic after its renovation. Of course, without distorting the identity of the property. This is closely linked to equestrian sports. At its heart, the resort offers new world-class culinary experiences. Local ingredients, al fresco dining options and seasonal regional produce are included. Guests relax in the desert infinity pool after a day of exciting outdoor activities or being in the city. Even more feel-good moments are guaranteed at the Desert Spa, with its traditional and modern treatments. For those who prefer to work out, the resort's fitness facilities are the place to be.

Authentic discoveries

Rare Finds' mission is to enable guests to connect deeply with the destination they visit - including through outdoor activities and itineraries. These are tailored to each guest individually. At Bab Al Shams, they include horseback riding in the desert, stargazing with in-house astronomers, sandboarding in the dunes, archery, hot air balloon rides, and exciting desert safaris.
