Verdala Wellness Hotel has opened its doors in the ancient town of Rabat, offering Gulf travelers an exclusive sanctuary for renewal, privacy, and balance. Carved into the natural ridge with panoramic views over the valley, this adults-only sanctuary balances refined design with a holistic, 24-hour approach to wellbeing - from restorative sleep environments and wellness-led cuisine to personalized programs and biohacking practices that promote longevity and spiritual healing.

The five-star boutique hotel, the newest offering from AX Privilege Collection, is led by an experienced team of Maltese experts and has been designed from the ground up for people seeking physical, mental, and emotional nourishment, helping them to experience a renewed sense of self.

Verdala’s Holistic Wellness Philosophy

Verdala’s Holistic Wellness Philosophy

At the core of Verdala’s concept is a thoughtfully designed wellness program that draws on both ancient wisdom and contemporary science. Built around a five-pillar framework – Nutrition, Movement, Rest & Recovery, Emotional Wellbeing, and Connection – the program is led by Amber Gauci Ward, Verdala’s Head of Wellness, who has a background in transformational wellness with a specialization in energetics, bioharmonisation and nervous system healing.

Inspired by the ‘V’ in Verdala, the hotel’s philosophy guides guests through a progressive exploration of wellbeing, beginning with insightful diagnostics and evolving into a personalized journey enriched by timeless wisdom. This philosophy comes to life at V SPA, a 1,500sqm sanctuary designed for stillness, renewal, and balance. With seven treatment rooms, a hammam and steam room, salt cave, saunas, contrast baths, hydrotherapy pool, and restorative lounges, alongside meditation and movement studios, V SPA offers a seamless rhythm of care throughout the day. Curated in partnership with leading global wellness brands including GROUND, Seed to Skin and Preime, it reflects a natural and scientific approach to long-term vitality.

Bespoke Wellness Experiences and Therapies

Guests can choose from private retreats, exclusive family buyouts, and bespoke wellness immersions. Each experience is designed to foster deep rejuvenation, with every detail tailored to individual needs, ensuring a highly personalized journey that resonates with both regional and international travelers.

Treatments combine holistic therapies with advanced technologies – from energy-based healing and somatic practices to complementary therapies such as PEMF Therapy and DermaLux Tri Wave LED – creating a balance of ancient practice and modern science.

To complement the wellness offering, Verdala features 46 thoughtfully designed rooms, each balancing comfort with understated sophistication. More than just a place to stay, rooms are created for effortless relaxation, with curated wellness bars, vegan guest amenities, and restorative sleep environments.

Culinary Philosophy and Immersive Luxury Experience

Culinary Philosophy and Immersive Luxury Experience

Verdala’s food philosophy is led by Chef Victor Borg, one of Malta’s most acclaimed culinary figures and the talent behind Michelin-starred Under Grain. Borg and Head Chef Brady Dalli have created menus that are both indulgent and nourishing, rooted in anti-inflammatory principles, seasonality, and globally inspired clean cuisine.

The hotel offers three distinct dining experiences: The Griffin Brasserie for elevated Mediterranean cuisine, The Ridge Pool Bar for fresh salads, juices, and smoothies, and The Living Room Lounge serving botanical cocktails and lighter fare.

Verdala is just 20 minutes’ drive from Malta International Airport, making it the ultimate reset for travelers seeking a fully immersive luxury wellness experience.
