Verdala Wellness Hotel: A New Benchmark in Luxury Wellness Hospitality

AX Group p.l.c. is proud to announce the opening of The Verdala Wellness Hotel, Malta’s first fully integrated wellness property and the newest addition to the AX Privilege Collection. Located on the ridge edge of Tal-Virtù, this landmark redevelopment transforms the site of the former Grand Hotel Verdala into a sanctuary of refined design, holistic wellbeing and long-term investment value.

From the outset, the confidence and commitment of our investors have been central to bringing the Verdala Wellness Hotel to life. Their support has enabled AX Group p.l.c. and AX Real Estate p.l.c. to create a property that redefines wellness hospitality in Malta while strengthening the Group’s strategic position in the luxury market.

The hotel’s architectural vision, led by C&K Architects with interiors by Dubai-based LW Design, combines sensitivity to its natural surroundings with contemporary character. A striking pyramidal atrium serves as the focal point, while terraces echo the strata of the ridge, blending harmoniously into the landscape. Inside, granite, marble, timber and textured finishes set the tone for understated luxury, creating spaces that feel both restorative and distinctive.

The Verdala Wellness Hotel features 46 rooms and suites, each conceived as a haven of comfort and wellbeing. The signature Observatory Suite offers expansive private terraces, a jacuzzi and sweeping views over Malta, setting a new standard in quiet luxury. At the heart of the property lies V Spa, a 1,500m² centre dedicated to holistic wellness. Guests can immerse themselves in thermal suites, salt caves and hammams, a cave-style heated pool, meditation zones and IV therapy lounges. Fitness and movement are equally central, with a Motion Hub gym and studios for yoga and Pilates. Curated three-, five- and seven-night retreats integrate treatments, nutrition, fitness and nature-based experiences, from sunrise swims to full-moon meditation, offering a deeply personal and transformative journey.

Culinary excellence is led by the Griffin Brasserie, where Mediterranean cuisine is elevated through balance, seasonality and flavour integrity. The Living Room Lounge Bar and the Elixir Bar within the spa extend the wellness philosophy to every aspect of the guest journey with restorative refreshments and bespoke offerings.

Guests can expect more than a stay: Verdala offers a seamless integration of architecture, wellness and hospitality. The result is a property that delivers serenity, cultural resonance and purposeful luxury, catering to discerning travellers seeking an elevated wellness experience.
