SCHEDULED CLOSING OF RESORTS SALE

PARADISE ISLAND, The Bahamas, April 18, 2001 – Sun International Hotels Limited (NYSE:SIH) today announced that the closing of the sale of the Resorts Casino Hotel to an affiliate of Colony Capital LLC is scheduled for April 26, 2001. At the Closing, the Company will receive approximately $126 million in cash and $17.5 million of Subordinated Notes. The Subordinated Notes will have a maturity of seven years and bear interest at 12.5% per annum. The interest is payable 50% in cash and 50% in additional Subordinated Notes. The $126 million in cash will be used to permanently reduce debt under the Company’s Bank Credit Facility. The Company has been advised by Colony that it has committed financing for the acquisition, which is being led by Merrill Lynch. As part of the purchase agreement, Colony has an option to acquire additional real estate adjacent to the Resorts Casino Hotel for $40 million.

The Company currently operates or manages resort hotels and/or casinos in The Bahamas, Atlantic City, Indian Ocean and Dubai.
