City of Dreams Mediterranean (COD) in Limassol, Cyprus, offers a new pinnacle of luxury as Europe’s first fully integrated resort. Nestled against the backdrop of the Mediterranean, the 5-star destination combines opulent accommodation, the island’s largest pool complex, and world-class entertainment. With over 500 lavish rooms and suites, the resort is designed to immerse guests in unparalleled comfort, offering sweeping views and impeccable service, recognised globally.
The resort’s casino, the largest in the Mediterranean, is complemented by an array of fine dining options, thrilling activities like the Waverider, and an Adventure Park for adrenaline seekers. Families, too, will find a wealth of options, including dedicated children’s pools and playful fountains.

COD also serves as a premier venue for corporate events, combining leisure and business in an exclusive environment. Its location, facilities, and all-in-one convenience make it a top choice for both discerning travellers and executives alike, offering an experience that blends relaxation, entertainment, and sophistication at every turn.
“Our goal when building City Of Dreams was to create the biggest integrated casino resort, and we’ve done that, with an investment of €600m. With the restaurants, the day club, the night club etc, traditionally you’re not going to get that experience anywhere else. The biggest benefit with being located in Cyprus is that it’s the sunniest place on earth, so during the gloomy winter cold months, this is the perfect location. And with our ‘Sunshine Guarantee’ we’re offering a free stay with every day the sun doesn’t shine.”
Lawrence Ho, Chairman & CEOÂ at Melco
