Dubai World and the Zanzibar government have agreed to start construction soon with a view to opening the resort in 2009.

One&Only Resorts is one of the world's premier luxury hotel brands with six resorts located in the Bahamas, Dubai, the Maldives, Mauritius and Mexico.

The award-winning group is owned by Kerzner International, in which Istithmar, a Dubai World company, holds a share.
