Kerzner International and Assets Group have signed on to establish Atlantis The Royal, Maldives, a flagship project that brings the iconic Atlantis brand to one of the world's most sought-after destinations.
The site, scheduled to open in 2029 in South Malé Atoll, will be built as a dual-island destination combining visionary design, advanced sustainability, and premium waterfront experiences, setting a new standard of ultra-luxury in the Indian Ocean.
The complex will feature 493 units, including rooms, suites, villas, and estates, as well as over 17 culinary destinations led by renowned chefs, lively beach clubs, and a selection of premium boutiques.
At the heart of the experience will be Aquaventure Maldives, a new iteration of the brand's signature water park. Alongside The Lost Chambers Aquarium and guided marine experiences, this attraction will offer families and couples an array of options beyond the traditional “sun and sea” model. All these initiatives will be developed under the sustainability umbrella of the Atlantis Atlas Project, which encompasses a responsible marine conservation policy, efficient energy use, and effective water resource management.
Its location in the South Malé Atoll guarantees easy access for travelers and provides a dramatic natural backdrop for the modern architecture of Atlantis The Royal, Maldives.

The Maldives agreement is a natural chapter in the Atlantis brand's expansion, following the highly publicized launch of Atlantis The Royal Dubai, which reflects Kerzner's desire to continue connecting design, culinary arts, entertainment, and sustainability in the most desirable international destinations.
The partnership with Assets Group reinforces our ability to bring a comprehensive product to market, from high-level planning and engineering to precise operation, aimed at audiences seeking iconic experiences with uncompromising service levels.
The Maldives project is designed to “redefine the boundaries of ultra-luxurious hospitality,” with a wide range of services for all types of guests: from families looking for action and marine education, to couples seeking privacy and endless views, culinary enthusiasts, and loyal followers of the brand worldwide.
