who owns atlantis bahamas

Atlantis Paradise Island in the Bahamas is currently owned by Brookfield Asset Management, with the resort operated under Marriott International’s Autograph Collection brand. There have also been recent talks about a potential real estate deal involving VICI Properties, but Brookfield remains the owner unless and until a sale is completed.

Quick Scoop: Who Owns Atlantis Bahamas?

  • The current owner of Atlantis Paradise Island is Brookfield Asset Management, a large Canadian real estate and asset management firm.
  • The resort is operated/flagged as part of Marriott International’s Autograph Collection Hotels.
  • Kerzner International, which originally developed Atlantis, no longer owns or operates the Bahamas property (though it still runs other Atlantis-branded resorts in Dubai and China).

How We Got Here (Short Story Version)

In the early years, Atlantis Bahamas was developed and run by Kerzner International, led by hotelier Sol Kerzner, in partnership with the Bahamian government. Debt pressures and changing financial conditions led to a restructuring in the early 2010s, during which Brookfield Asset Management took control of Atlantis Paradise Island and related Paradise Island assets. Since then, Brookfield has been the resort’s owner, with management structures evolving over time, including a shift toward Brookfield Hospitality and a major marketing/branding partnership with Marriott.

In simple terms: Kerzner built it, Brookfield owns it, Marriott helps run and market it now.

Latest News and Rumblings

  • Brookfield has been reported as exploring deals involving Atlantis, including a large approved investment project with VICI Properties, a major U.S. casino/resort real estate owner.
  • Public reporting suggests VICI’s role would likely be to own the real estate (buildings/land) while Brookfield or a partner remains involved in operations , but as of the latest news there is no finalized sale publicly confirmed.
