Shah Rukh Khan to Grace Grand Opening of City of Dreams Sri Lanka

South Asia is gearing up for one of its most glamorous events yet — the grand opening of City of Dreams Sri Lanka on 2 August 2025, with none other than Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan as the special guest. The event marks the debut of the region’s first luxury integrated resort and promises to set a new benchmark for hospitality, entertainment, and leisure.

Developed through a dynamic partnership between John Keells Holdings and global luxury resort operator Melco Resorts & Entertainment, City of Dreams Sri Lanka represents a significant milestone in the region’s tourism landscape. The highly anticipated opening also unveils the resort’s signature campaign, “Let’s Go, Let Go”, inviting guests to embrace indulgence and escape into a world of limitless experiences.

Spanning 4.5 million square feet, this architectural marvel is located at 01 Justice Akbar Mawatha, Colombo, and was designed by globally renowned architect Cecil Balmond. The resort features over 800 luxury rooms, a world-class casino managed by Melco, high-end retail outlets, rejuvenating wellness retreats, and globally inspired dining options – all offering spectacular views of the Indian Ocean and Colombo’s dynamic skyline.

Adding a new dimension to Sri Lanka’s hospitality offering, the launch will also introduce Nuwa, Melco’s luxury hotel brand, to the country. City of Dreams is equally focused on business tourism, boasting South Asia’s most advanced meeting and event spaces, including striking cantilevered ballrooms adorned with curated local art.

With the countdown to the grand opening already creating a buzz across South Asia, Shah Rukh Khan’s presence only amplifies the excitement. As the resort opens its doors to the world, it aims to transform Colombo into a hub of luxury travel, world-class entertainment, and unforgettable experiences.
