Developed through a powerful partnership between John Keells Holdings and Melco Resorts & Entertainment, this landmark destination symbolizes Sri Lanka’s economic revival and ambition to emerge as a premier luxury tourism hub.
Combining modern sophistication with traditional Sri Lankan artistry, COD SL offers an unparalleled blend of luxury, culture, and innovation. Boasting two world-class hotels Cinnamon Life @ City of Dreams with 687 rooms and NUWA @ City of Dreams featuring 113 ultra-luxury rooms the resort sets new standards for hospitality in the region.
