Gaming, glamour and luxury NÜWA elevates Colombo’s Travel Scene

Colombo  welcomed a new addition to its hospitality scene last month with the opening of NÜWA at City of Dreams Sri Lanka, the flagship luxury hotel brand of Melco Resorts and Entertainment. Located at the Cinnamon Life complex off Glennie Street in Colombo 2, the property offers travellers a blend of modern comforts and refined experiences, adding a fresh stop on the capital’s growing travel and entertainment hub.

In just six weeks since its debut, NÜWA at City of Dreams Sri Lanka has captured the spotlight on the global travel map, drawing strong interest from the Indian subcontinent and China. With its mix of luxury living and world-class entertainment, it is fast emerging as one of South Asia’s most sought-after lifestyle destinations.

Perched above Colombo’s skyline with sweeping views of the Indian Ocean, NÜWA at City of Dreams sets a new benchmark for luxury stays in the capital. Its 113 rooms and suites are thoughtfully designed, where handcrafted artistry meets state-of-the-art comfort.

From the sleek Executive King Cityscape rooms to the opulent Dragon Suite, every space displays contemporary elegance infused with cultural character. With bespoke in-room experiences and refined aesthetics, NÜWA reimagines what modern luxury in Sri Lanka can be. Guests can choose from 40 deluxe King Cityscape rooms or deluxe Twin Cityscape rooms, including three accessible options. For those who prefer ocean views, the hotel features 38 deluxe King Oceanfront rooms and 12 deluxe twin Oceanfront rooms. The experience is elevated further with an exclusive selection of suites, including one Executive Suite, 15 Premium Suites, three Presidential Suites and the showpiece of the property, the Dragon Suite, the ultimate expression of NÜWA’s signature luxury.

Dining & Beverages

Dining at NÜWA is as refined as its accommodations, with venues that cater to every mood and moment. The Crystal Lounge, open 24 hours, invites guests to linger over curated teas, artisanal patisserie and refined wine tastings. For something more exclusive, ‘The Vault’ offers a sophisticated setting for crafted beverages, while the Pool Bar is perfect for relaxed cocktails under the Colombo sky. At the heart of it all is ‘Spice8’, the hotel’s signature all-day dining restaurant, where eight Asian culinary traditions come alive in an open-kitchen setting. 

‘Spice8 is a truly unique restaurant, offering a fusion of Asian cuisines that sets it apart’ said Michael Habashi, Vice President and General Manager of NÜWA.
