   <div class=\"wak-copy wak-body-standard-text\"><p>Slightly removed from the well-trodden end of Valletta, this 17th-century palazzo perches near the tip of the peninsula, deep among the oldest residential part of town, where progress has yet to creep and it still feels like a neighbourhood. The building dates back to 1606, making it one of the earliest residences in the capital. It was also the childhood home of Malta\u2019s first post-independence Prime Minister, George Borg Olivier, whose father extended the house across the street via a sky bridge. Today, its 39 rooms make fine use of the space; their marbled floors, vintage furniture and the odd gallarija tick every boutique box. But the rooftop is the real lure, with a plunge pool andviews across to Fort St Elmo or Marsamxett Harbour the highlight of\u00a0any stay.<\/p>\n<p><strong>More information:<\/strong> B&amp;B doubles from \u00a3151pn; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.palaislebrun.com\/en\/home.htm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">palaislebrun.com<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\r\n\n\n    <div id=\"wak-acf-block-638204\" class=\"wak-acf-block wak-acf-block-article-image wak-content-layout-default\">\r\n                \r\n        <h3 class=\"wak-title wak-h3\">The Phoenicia, Floriana<\/h3>\r\n                    \n<picture>\n    <source media=\"(max-width:575px)\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.wanderlustmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/HR-Bastion-Pool-2-Philippe-Schaff_2800-350x250.jpg, https:\/\/www.wanderlustmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/HR-Bastion-Pool-2-Philippe-Schaff_2800-700x470.jpg 2x\">\n    <source media=\"(max-width:991px)\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.wanderlustmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/HR-Bastion-Pool-2-Philippe-Schaff_2800-1280x693.jpg, https:\/\/www.wanderlustmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/HR-Bastion-Pool-2-Philippe-Schaff_2800-2560x1386.jpg 2x\">\n    <source media=\"(min-width:992px)\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.wanderlustmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/HR-Bastion-Pool-2-Philippe-Schaff_2800-1280x693.jpg, https:\/\/www.wanderlustmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/HR-Bastion-Pool-2-Philippe-Schaff_2800-2560x1386.jpg 2x\">\n    <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.wanderlustmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/HR-Bastion-Pool-2-Philippe-Schaff_2800-350x250.jpg\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.wanderlustmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/HR-Bastion-Pool-2-Philippe-Schaff_2800-350x250.jpg, https:\/\/www.wanderlustmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/HR-Bastion-Pool-2-Philippe-Schaff_2800-700x470.jpg 2x\" class=\"attachment-80615\" alt=\"\" width=\"350\" height=\"250\"><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/picture>   \r\n        \r\n        <span class=\"wak-caption wak-image-caption-text\">Sunset views at The Phoenicia (Philippe-Schaff\/The Phoenicia)<\/span>    <\/div>\r\n\n\n<div id=\"wak-acf-block-289602\" class=\"wak-acf-block wak-acf-block-copy-content wak-content-layout-default\">\r\n        <div class=\"wak-copy wak-body-standard-text\"><p>The islands\u2019 original five-star hotel has its design roots in the Art Deco of the 1930s, though the building wasn\u2019t finished until after the Second World War. Since then, it has remained the capital\u2019s calling-card, keeping up its Anglophile take on the high life with high teas in the Palm Court lounge and strolls of its three hectares of gardens. The grounds are the finest on the islands, with picnic areas, a bar and a pool lounging beneath the bastion walls. Craning around wedding parties for views of Marsamxett Harbour is the only chore, while Valletta\u2019s gates lie a stroll away. Best of all, staff can arrange some great perks, including a private tour and dinner at Birgu\u2019s 18th-century Inquisitor\u2019s Palace.<\/p>\n<p><strong>More information:<\/strong> B&amp;B doubles from around \u00a3256pn; <a href=\"https:\/\/phoeniciamalta.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">phoeniciamalta.com<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\r\n\n\n    <div id=\"wak-acf-block-563545\" class=\"wak-acf-block wak-acf-block-article-image wak-content-layout-default\">\r\n                \r\n        <h3 class=\"wak-title wak-h3\">Rosselli, Valletta<\/h3>\r\n                    \n<picture>\n    <source media=\"(max-width:575px)\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.wanderlustmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/HR-Facade-02_2800-350x250.jpg, https:\/\/www.wanderlustmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/HR-Facade-02_2800-700x470.jpg 2x\">\n    <source media=\"(max-width:991px)\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.wanderlustmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/HR-Facade-02_2800-1280x693.jpg, https:\/\/www.wanderlustmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/HR-Facade-02_2800-2560x1386.jpg 2x\">\n    <source media=\"(min-width:992px)\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.wanderlustmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/HR-Facade-02_2800-1280x693.jpg, https:\/\/www.wanderlustmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/HR-Facade-02_2800-2560x1386.jpg 2x\">\n    <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.wanderlustmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/HR-Facade-02_2800-350x250.jpg\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.wanderlustmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/HR-Facade-02_2800-350x250.jpg, https:\/\/www.wanderlustmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/HR-Facade-02_2800-700x470.jpg 2x\" class=\"attachment-80616\" alt=\"\" width=\"350\" height=\"250\"><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/picture>   \r\n        \r\n        <span class=\"wak-caption wak-image-caption-text\">The entrance to Valletta\u2019s Rosselli (AX Hotels Malta)<\/span>    <\/div>\r\n\n\n<div class=\"wak-acf-block wak-acf-block-sidebar-content\" data-ad=\"in_content_1\"><div id=\"wak-acf-block-433141\" class=\"wak-acf-block wak-content-layout-default wak-acf-block-advert wak-ad-in_content_1\" data-placement-id=\"63376\" data-advert-visible=\"1\">\r\n    \r\n    <div class=\"wak-advert-container\">\r\n        \n            <div id=\"div-gpt-ad-63376\">\n                <script>\n                    googletag.cmd.push(() => { \n                        googletag.display('div-gpt-ad-63376'); \n                    });\n                <\/script>\n            <\/div>\n                <\/div>\r\n<\/div><\/div><div id=\"wak-acf-block-862977\" class=\"wak-acf-block wak-acf-block-copy-content wak-content-layout-default\">\r\n        <div class=\"wak-copy wak-body-standard-text\"><p>This 17th-century palazzo was originally home to a noted goldsmith, from whom it takes its name, though its current owners have retained his taste for the finer things. Several rooms come with their own sauna, while the duplex keeps the building\u2019s original 4m-high ceilings \u2013 a trait of traditional Maltese homes that allowed their rooms to cool naturally. The rooftop plunge pool and summer bar\/restaurant offer a break from the bustle, yet it\u2019s the food that catches the eye here. Michelin-starred Under Grain takes the plaudits, but there is little drop-off at the excellent-value Grain Street out front, where views from the terrace (also the breakfast spot) funnel Merchant Street to the waterfront beyond.<\/p>\n<p><strong>More information:<\/strong> B&amp;B doubles from \u00a3292pn;<a href=\"https:\/\/axhotelsmalta.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">axhotelsmalta.com<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\r\n\n\n    <div id=\"wak-acf-block-895374\" class=\"wak-acf-block wak-acf-block-article-image wak-content-layout-default\">\r\n                \r\n        <h3 class=\"wak-title wak-h3\">Palazzo Bifora, Mdina<\/h3>\r\n                    \n<picture>\n    <source media=\"(max-width:575px)\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.wanderlustmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/HR-Palazzo-Bifora_2800-350x250.jpg, https:\/\/www.wanderlustmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/HR-Palazzo-Bifora_2800-700x470.jpg 2x\">\n    <source media=\"(max-width:991px)\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.wanderlustmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/HR-Palazzo-Bifora_2800-1280x693.jpg, https:\/\/www.wanderlustmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/HR-Palazzo-Bifora_2800-2560x1386.jpg 2x\">\n    <source media=\"(min-width:992px)\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.wanderlustmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/HR-Palazzo-Bifora_2800-1280x693.jpg, https:\/\/www.wanderlustmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/HR-Palazzo-Bifora_2800-2560x1386.jpg 2x\">\n    <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.wanderlustmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/HR-Palazzo-Bifora_2800-350x250.jpg\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.wanderlustmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/HR-Palazzo-Bifora_2800-350x250.jpg, https:\/\/www.wanderlustmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/HR-Palazzo-Bifora_2800-700x470.jpg 2x\" class=\"attachment-80617\" alt=\"\" width=\"350\" height=\"250\"><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/picture>   \r\n        \r\n        <span class=\"wak-caption wak-image-caption-text\">Rooftop pool views at Palazzo Bifora (Palazzo Bifora)<\/span>    <\/div>\r\n\n\n<div id=\"wak-acf-block-888126\" class=\"wak-acf-block wak-acf-block-copy-content wak-content-layout-default\">\r\n        <div class=\"wak-copy wak-body-standard-text\"><p>For decades, The Xara Palace was the only hotel in Mdina, then Bifora opened in 2022. Spread across two houses (400 and 800 years old), it took 12 years of careful renovation to complete. As such, it\u2019s a real labour of love. There are only six rooms \u2013 some of which have kept their original 4m-high ceilings \u2013 and the quietude of the Silent City really shines through as you make your way deep into its labyrinthine alleyways to reach them. The crowning glory is the rooftop, with its plunge pool (the only one in Mdina) and fine-dining restaurant offering views over the citadel. It\u2019s a delightful spot for soaking up Malta\u2019s medieval former capital long after the crowds disperse.<\/p>\n<p><strong>More information:<\/strong> B&amp;B doubles from \u00a3168pn; <a href=\"https:\/\/palazzobifora.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">palazzobifora.com<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\r\n\n\n    <div id=\"wak-acf-block-212957\" class=\"wak-acf-block wak-acf-block-article-image wak-content-layout-default\">\r\n                \r\n        <h3 class=\"wak-title wak-h3\">Casa Rocca Piccola, Valletta <\/h3>\r\n                    \n<picture>\n    <source media=\"(max-width:575px)\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.wanderlustmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/HR-Sala-Grande-2_2800-350x250.jpg, https:\/\/www.wanderlustmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/HR-Sala-Grande-2_2800-700x470.jpg 2x\">\n    <source media=\"(max-width:991px)\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.wanderlustmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/HR-Sala-Grande-2_2800-1280x693.jpg, https:\/\/www.wanderlustmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/HR-Sala-Grande-2_2800-2560x1386.jpg 2x\">\n    <source media=\"(min-width:992px)\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.wanderlustmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/HR-Sala-Grande-2_2800-1280x693.jpg, https:\/\/www.wanderlustmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/HR-Sala-Grande-2_2800-2560x1386.jpg 2x\">\n    <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.wanderlustmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/HR-Sala-Grande-2_2800-350x250.jpg\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.wanderlustmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/HR-Sala-Grande-2_2800-350x250.jpg, https:\/\/www.wanderlustmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/HR-Sala-Grande-2_2800-700x470.jpg 2x\" class=\"attachment-80618\" alt=\"\" width=\"350\" height=\"250\"><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/picture>   \r\n        \r\n        <span class=\"wak-caption wak-image-caption-text\">The elegant rooms of Casa Rocca Piccola (Casa Rocca Piccola)<\/span>    <\/div>\r\n\n\n<div id=\"wak-acf-block-140497\" class=\"wak-acf-block wak-acf-block-copy-content wak-content-layout-default\">\r\n        <div class=\"wak-copy wak-body-standard-text\"><p>By day, visitors can take tours of the building\u2019s 50-plus rooms and basement bomb shelter with the resident marquis, for whom this has been an ancestral home for nine generations.

Instead, the hotel\u2019s restaurants scatter the citadel, including the Michelin-starred De Mondion, whose rooftop<br>\ndoubles as a breakfast spot with views that sweep the countryside.

Part of this is down to its location. Sprawled across four honey-hued townhouses and a former bank (the reception lies in the old vault), its waterfront rooms have unmatched balcony views of the Grand Harbour, where so much of Malta\u2019s history played out. The other reason for its rise is down to the rooftop ION Harbour restaurant, masterminded by British chef Simon Rogan, which became the first venue on the islands to bag a second Michelin star. That it doubles as the breakfast room, dishing up views of the Three Cities and a morning menu just as cultured, is a bonus. The 23 rooms span impressively sized suites, apartments and a guesthouse, all decked out in neutral colours and two-tone murals, while the facilities are rounded off by a basement spa and one of Valletta\u2019s rare hotel gyms.<\/p>\n<p><strong>More information:<\/strong> B&amp;B doubles from \u00a3315pn; <a href=\"https:\/\/inialamalta.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">inialamalta.com<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\r\n\n\n    <div id=\"wak-acf-block-696103\" class=\"wak-acf-block wak-acf-block-article-image wak-content-layout-default\">\r\n                \r\n        <h3 class=\"wak-title wak-h3\">Palazzo Consiglia, Valletta<\/h3>\r\n                    \n<picture>\n    <source media=\"(max-width:575px)\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.wanderlustmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/HR-Deluxe-Suite_2800-350x250.jpg, https:\/\/www.wanderlustmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/HR-Deluxe-Suite_2800-700x470.jpg 2x\">\n    <source media=\"(max-width:991px)\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.wanderlustmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/HR-Deluxe-Suite_2800-1280x693.jpg, https:\/\/www.wanderlustmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/HR-Deluxe-Suite_2800-2560x1386.jpg 2x\">\n    <source media=\"(min-width:992px)\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.wanderlustmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/HR-Deluxe-Suite_2800-1280x693.jpg, https:\/\/www.wanderlustmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/HR-Deluxe-Suite_2800-2560x1386.jpg 2x\">\n    <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.wanderlustmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/HR-Deluxe-Suite_2800-350x250.jpg\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.wanderlustmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/HR-Deluxe-Suite_2800-350x250.jpg, https:\/\/www.wanderlustmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/HR-Deluxe-Suite_2800-700x470.jpg 2x\" class=\"attachment-80622\" alt=\"\" width=\"350\" height=\"250\"><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/picture>   \r\n        \r\n        <span class=\"wak-caption wak-image-caption-text\">Room in Palazzo Consiglia (Etienne Farrell, Etienne Farrell #KitzKlikz)<\/span>    <\/div>\r\n\n\n<div id=\"wak-acf-block-568718\" class=\"wak-acf-block wak-acf-block-copy-content wak-content-layout-default\">\r\n        <div class=\"wak-copy wak-body-standard-text\"><p>Of the many palazzi in the capital to have been converted into boutique stays in recent years, none match the 400-year-old Consiglia for its facilities.

Head up through the lobby (a former chapel) to the rooftop, where the pool and deck area offer glimpses over the harbour. Even the street outside is charming, with the steps that slide down to the waterfront often filled with cushions and jazz music on summer nights.<\/p>\n<p><strong>More information:<\/strong> B&amp;B doubles from \u00a3188pn; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ikcollection.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">ikcollection.com<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\r\n\n\n    <div id=\"wak-acf-block-961203\" class=\"wak-acf-block wak-acf-block-article-image wak-content-layout-default\">\r\n                \r\n        <h3 class=\"wak-title wak-h3\">Cug\u00f3 Gran Macina, Senglea<\/h3>\r\n                    \n<picture>\n    <source media=\"(max-width:575px)\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.wanderlustmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/HR-IBB-MACINA-03059_2800-350x250.jpg, https:\/\/www.wanderlustmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/HR-IBB-MACINA-03059_2800-700x470.jpg 2x\">\n    <source media=\"(max-width:991px)\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.wanderlustmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/HR-IBB-MACINA-03059_2800-1280x693.jpg, https:\/\/www.wanderlustmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/HR-IBB-MACINA-03059_2800-2560x1386.jpg 2x\">\n    <source media=\"(min-width:992px)\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.wanderlustmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/HR-IBB-MACINA-03059_2800-1280x693.jpg, https:\/\/www.wanderlustmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/HR-IBB-MACINA-03059_2800-2560x1386.jpg 2x\">\n    <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.wanderlustmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/HR-IBB-MACINA-03059_2800-350x250.jpg\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.wanderlustmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/HR-IBB-MACINA-03059_2800-350x250.jpg, https:\/\/www.wanderlustmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/HR-IBB-MACINA-03059_2800-700x470.jpg 2x\" class=\"attachment-80626\" alt=\"\" width=\"350\" height=\"250\"><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/picture>   \r\n        \r\n        <span class=\"wak-caption wak-image-caption-text\">Outside pool area of Cug\u00f3 Gran Macina (C\u00c8sar Guerrero Fotograf\u00cca)<\/span>    <\/div>\r\n\n\n<div id=\"wak-acf-block-708383\" class=\"wak-acf-block wak-acf-block-copy-content wak-content-layout-default\">\r\n        <div class=\"wak-copy wak-body-standard-text\"><p>Occupying part of the old bastion built by Malta\u2019s Knights, this stylish stay takes its name from the macina (crane) that was added in the 16th-century to hoist goods ashore and de-mast ships. It continued in use until the 1920s, though you\u2019re more likely to see yachts than warships in the marina these days. Its transformation into a design hotel with a rooftop pool and notable restaurant is all the more remarkable given this was an office for Malta\u2019s Labour party for years. Inside, the 21 suites blend the stone of the old walls through its minimalist rooms. It\u2019s also well-placed to explore the Three Cities, where the Knights first settled, with the grand fort of Birgu ever in sight from the terrace.<\/p>\n<p><strong>More information:<\/strong> B&amp;B doubles from \u00a3192pn; <a href=\"https:\/\/cugogranmacina.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">cugogranmacina.com<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\r\n\n\n    <div class=\"wak-acf-block wak-acf-block-sidebar-content\" data-ad=\"in_content_4\"><div id=\"wak-acf-block-509172\" class=\"wak-acf-block wak-content-layout-default wak-acf-block-advert wak-ad-in_content_4\" data-placement-id=\"63379\" data-advert-visible=\"1\">\r\n    \r\n    <div class=\"wak-advert-container\">\r\n        \n            <div id=\"div-gpt-ad-63379\">\n                <script>\n                    googletag.cmd.push(() => { \n                        googletag.display('div-gpt-ad-63379'); \n                    });\n                <\/script>\n            <\/div>\n                <\/div>\r\n<\/div><\/div><div id=\"wak-acf-block-371382\" class=\"wak-acf-block wak-acf-block-article-image wak-content-layout-default\">\r\n                \r\n        <h3 class=\"wak-title wak-h3\">Lure Hotel &amp; Spa, Mellie\u0127a<\/h3>\r\n                    \n<picture>\n    <source media=\"(max-width:575px)\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.wanderlustmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/HR-Grand-Suite-1_2800-350x250.jpg, https:\/\/www.wanderlustmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/HR-Grand-Suite-1_2800-700x470.jpg 2x\">\n    <source media=\"(max-width:991px)\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.wanderlustmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/HR-Grand-Suite-1_2800-1280x693.jpg, https:\/\/www.wanderlustmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/HR-Grand-Suite-1_2800-2560x1386.jpg 2x\">\n    <source media=\"(min-width:992px)\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.wanderlustmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/HR-Grand-Suite-1_2800-1280x693.jpg, https:\/\/www.wanderlustmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/HR-Grand-Suite-1_2800-2560x1386.jpg 2x\">\n    <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.wanderlustmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/HR-Grand-Suite-1_2800-350x250.jpg\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.wanderlustmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/HR-Grand-Suite-1_2800-350x250.jpg, https:\/\/www.wanderlustmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/HR-Grand-Suite-1_2800-700x470.jpg 2x\" class=\"attachment-80623\" alt=\"\" width=\"350\" height=\"250\"><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/picture>   \r\n        \r\n        <span class=\"wak-caption wak-image-caption-text\">Hot tub view at Lure Hotel &amp; Spa (Lure Hotel &amp; Spa)<\/span>    <\/div>\r\n\n\n<div id=\"wak-acf-block-682925\" class=\"wak-acf-block wak-acf-block-copy-content wak-content-layout-default\">\r\n        <div class=\"wak-copy wak-body-standard-text\"><p>Most travellers pass through Mellie\u0127a, in the hilly north-west of the mainland, en route to its eponymous bay or the ferry to Gozo in \u010airkewwa. Few stick around \u2013 which is a shame. The adults-only Lure, opposite a rather grand 19th-century parish church on the old town square, is one more reason why they\u2019re missing out. Views from its marbled rooms and rooftop pool skim down to the water, while the big \u2018lure\u2019 here is its steam room and spa, though the terraced Core restaurant runs them a close second. It\u2019s particularly well-placed to explore the little-visited Second World War tunnels and shelters that were hand-dug beneath the village in the 1940s. It\u2019s a side to the town that few see.<\/p>\n<p><strong>More information:<\/strong> B&amp;B doubles from \u00a3170pn; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lurehotelmalta.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">lurehotelmalta.com<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\r\n\n\n    <div id=\"wak-acf-block-436434\" class=\"wak-acf-block wak-acf-block-article-image wak-content-layout-default\">\r\n                \r\n        <h3 class=\"wak-title wak-h3\">Kempinski Hotel San Lawrenz, Gozo<\/h3>\r\n                    \n<picture>\n    <source media=\"(max-width:575px)\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.wanderlustmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/HR-KIMLA_Entrance_High-Res_53167_2800-350x250.jpg, https:\/\/www.wanderlustmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/HR-KIMLA_Entrance_High-Res_53167_2800-700x470.jpg 2x\">\n    <source media=\"(max-width:991px)\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.wanderlustmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/HR-KIMLA_Entrance_High-Res_53167_2800-1280x693.jpg, https:\/\/www.wanderlustmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/HR-KIMLA_Entrance_High-Res_53167_2800-2560x1386.jpg 2x\">\n    <source media=\"(min-width:992px)\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.wanderlustmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/HR-KIMLA_Entrance_High-Res_53167_2800-1280x693.jpg, https:\/\/www.wanderlustmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/HR-KIMLA_Entrance_High-Res_53167_2800-2560x1386.jpg 2x\">\n    <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.wanderlustmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/HR-KIMLA_Entrance_High-Res_53167_2800-350x250.jpg\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.wanderlustmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/HR-KIMLA_Entrance_High-Res_53167_2800-350x250.jpg, https:\/\/www.wanderlustmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/HR-KIMLA_Entrance_High-Res_53167_2800-700x470.jpg 2x\" class=\"attachment-80627\" alt=\"\" width=\"350\" height=\"250\"><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/picture>   \r\n        \r\n        <span class=\"wak-caption wak-image-caption-text\">Beautiful entrance to Gozo\u2019s Kempinski Hotel San Lawrenz (Kempinski Hotels &amp; Resorts)<\/span>    <\/div>\r\n\n\n<div id=\"wak-acf-block-364943\" class=\"wak-acf-block wak-acf-block-copy-content wak-content-layout-default\">\r\n        <div class=\"wak-copy wak-body-standard-text\"><p>The quiet countryside of Gozo is a popular escape for Maltese mainlanders, who often hole up in its converted farmhouses for the summer. There are far fewer options for hotel escapes though, so the 141-room Kempinski, just inland from the cliffs and dive sites of Dwejra, makes for a welcome outlier. Its grounds incorporate a celebrated spa, three hectares of semi-tropical gardens, several pools and just as many dining options \u2013 there\u2019s even teppanyaki served in the gazebo \u2013 while the cool, marbled rooms, suites and apartments come with their own private balconies to soak it all in. In addition, it\u2019s a great base for visiting the island\u2019s citadel capital and megalithic \u0120gantija temple complex.<\/p>\n<p><strong>More information:<\/strong> B&amp;B doubles from
