Our stay at Verdala Wellness Hotel was absolutely wonderful, and even more special because it was a birthday present. From the moment we arrived, everything exceeded our expectations.
The staff were excellent—warm, attentive, and genuinely welcoming—and the service was outstanding throughout our entire stay.
The food was excellent as well, with every meal being a real pleasure. What we especially loved was the calm and peaceful atmosphere of the hotel. It is the perfect place to relax, unwind, and truly switch off from everyday life.
A very special thank you goes to Dilit, who went above and beyond to make our romantic private dinner truly memorable. Her attention to detail and warm hospitality made the evening feel incredibly special and added a beautiful touch to our birthday celebration.
There is honestly nothing to criticise. Everything was exceptional, and we would happily return. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a peaceful, relaxing, and truly enjoyable wellness experience!
Verdala Wellness Hotel is truly top of the range and, without a doubt, one of the few hotels in Malta that we will definitely be revisiting.
This was our first stay at this wonderful and relaxing hotel, but it certainly will not be our last! From the moment we arrived, we knew we were in for a special experience. We received such a warm and heartfelt welcome from the front desk staff, which immediately made us feel comfortable and valued. From then on, every moment of our stay simply added to the wonderful experience.
The hotel itself is beautiful, with a peaceful and relaxing atmosphere that makes it the perfect place to unwind, disconnect from the daily routine, and enjoy some quality time together. It was the ideal setting to celebrate a relaxed and romantic birthday, and we could not have asked for a better place.
What truly made our stay even more memorable, was the exceptional service and genuine hospitality of the entire team. Every member of staff we encountered was incredibly helpful, friendly, professional, and always ready to assist with a smile. It is honestly impossible to mention everyone by name because every single person contributed to making our stay so special.
A special mention must go to the General Manager, Mr. Calascione, who truly went above and beyond to make our experience unforgettable. He regularly checked in on us, making sure we were comfortable and had everything we needed throughout our stay. His kindness, professionalism, attention to detail, and genuine care did not go unnoticed. He made us feel incredibly welcome and showed a level of hospitality that is becoming increasingly rare.
Verdala Wellness Hotel exceeded our expectations in every way. It is a place where beautiful surroundings, a relaxing atmosphere, and outstanding service come together to create a truly memorable experience.
Highly recommended to anyone looking for a luxurious, peaceful, and enjoyable stay in Malta. We are already looking forward to our next visit!
This was my second time there since I went in June solo.
Our experience was an unforgettable one. It exceeded our expectations. The staff at the pool bar, Rajesh, David and especially Ratan were very professional.
Ratan was the pool boy assigned to us on both occasions and he was available for our every beck and call. He made sure that we had the best experience and the most relaxing day by the pool ever.
Verdala Wellness hotel is top of the range. It is one of the few hotels in Malta that I will revisit for sure.
As for cleanliness I will rate it 10/10.
The ambience is so relaxing that it is the one and only hotel that I would consider to go to for me to unwind and have a mental reset.
I am so glad that this hotel is only a few minutes away by car, from where I live.
The view from the pool is breathtaking and it is so peaceful that I can say that it is heaven on earth, literally.
I would dare say that I prefer keep going for a day by the pool from time to time than going for a massage or day spa anywhere else.
One last note. KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK! BRAVO to all staff in general. They are very welcoming and make sure you feel at home the second you step inside. You are exceptional.
Also, I really hope that Ratan will keep being the pool boy assigned to us during future visits.
Spent a day at the spa with my wife which was amazing. All facilities are top notch and the service was great at all times. Special thanks goes to Julian who helped coordinate everything to make sure we were always comfortable and well served.
This hotel has only been open about a year so it’s still very fresh and new! Even though I booked a basic room, I found what they gave me to be incredibly spacious and well appointed (with all the amenities including robes!!). I loved the “nook” afternoon experience with free prosecco, drinks & small bites. I also loved the pool — truly an incredible view & so relaxing. Great menu of healthy food options, too. It was nice to be non smoking by the pool too so you aren’t bothered by others smoking. My only suggestion is to not make guests go to the front desk for pool towels — have a stand by the pool for towels so guests don’t need to walk through the lobby. Additionally the A/C is eco friendly so it turns off when it thinks you aren’t in the room which is a bit of a problem at night in terms of the temperature rising. Overall a great stay though and I would enthusiastically return!
