In 1994, Sol Kerzner acquired the crippled Resorts International organization that belonged to entertainment mogul Merv Griffin. The best days of this once popular international jet-set recreation site located on Paradise Island had already passed, but from the beginning Kerzner appreciated its potential. Impressed by the beauty of the place, on a lush tropical island with a pristine 3.2-kilometer white sandy beach, Kerzner promised to build the most fascinating & amazing tourist complex the world had ever seen, a place where dreams come true & all those who will experience it will be enchanted with its mythical charm & enjoy a world of fun during the process.
