Get ready, South Asia! Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan will headline the grand opening of City of Dreams Sri Lanka on August 2, 2025, as the event’s special guest. This by-invitation celebration marks the launch of South Asia’s first luxury integrated resort, a collaboration between John Keells Holdings and Melco Resorts & Entertainment.
Designed by world-renowned architect Cecil Balmond, the 4.5-million-square-foot resort sits proudly at 01 Justice Akbar Mawatha in Colombo, offering over 800 luxury rooms, world-class dining, wellness retreats, and breathtaking views of the Indian Ocean.
City of Dreams Sri Lanka will also debut Melco’s Nuwa, a premium hotel brand, and feature the country's most advanced meeting and event spaces. A key highlight is the resort's new lifestyle campaign — “Let’s Go, Let Go”, promising immersive luxury and entertainment.
Speaking ahead of the event, Craig Ballantyne, Property President of City of Dreams Sri Lanka, said: “Having Shah Rukh Khan join us for this historic moment reflects the global ambition and cultural celebration at the heart of City of Dreams.”
The integrated resort is poised to elevate Colombo as both a leisure and business destination, with excitement building fast across the region. Mark your calendars — August 2 will be a night to remember.
