Also in Condé Nast Traveler and AFAR.
Accommodations reflect Gozo’s rustic architectural heritage through warm sandy tones, textured limestone accents and contemporary furnishings with classic influences.
Tucked away
A place apart: the property is the destination.
The quiet village square of San Lawrenz sits a short walk away, minutes from the dramatic coastal cliffs of Dwejra Bay.
The rooms
Sandy palettes and textured limestone accents shape every room, extending outdoors to private balconies framing garden and valley views.
The pools
Bring a swimsuit.
Three outdoor pools curve through palm gardens, and heated indoor pools sit beneath Gozitan limestone arches.
The spa and gym
A striped-marble hammam and dedicated Ayurveda centre fill the spa, and the gym sits beneath a timber ceiling.
Restaurant
L'Ortolan
Turquoise seating and wave wood panelling fill the dining room, where daily breakfast buffets are served.
The five-star hotel has 140 rooms and suites, multiple indoor and outdoor pools, and six restaurants and bars, though the highlight is most definitely the spa…
At the table
Outdoor terraces look across the valley for evening cocktails, and the kitchen garden supplies fresh herbs to dinner tables.
