How do we rate a property?

We rate all our hotels, resorts, and lodges using our own bespoke grading system. We'll only invite a property into our collection once it's been assessed by one of our specialists. If it doesn't impress us, it doesn't make the cut.

From the quality of the food served in the restaurant to the amenities offered in each bedroom, we carefully rate each property to make sure it meets our high expectations.

About This Hotel

Style:

Rooms:

Setting:

City

The question isn't why stay at The Xara Palace Relais & Chateaux, perched on a hilltop on the island of Malta and surrounded by the ancient fortifications of Mdina. It's why not.

The palace's outer shell may be old, but the amenities sure aren't. Free wireless internet is available in most rooms and public areas, while a mini gym and sauna help fight the not-so-inevitable vacation bulge. On the other hand, the gourmet dining of on-site Mediterranean restaurant de Mondion, routinely voted the best in Malta, might send you packing with a couple extra pounds. And don't even get started on the pizza at Trattoria A.D. 1530 and tasting trips to the nearby Meridiana Wine Estate.

Nearby casinos, nature walks, boat charters, and historical sites keep you busier than you likely thought possible on this sleepy Mediterranean Island.
