Malta's First Luxury Wellness Retreat Opens Near Rabat with Tailored Health Programmes

Malta’s first fully integrated wellness retreat has opened its doors near Rabat. Verdala Wellness Hotel sits just 20 minutes from Malta International Airport and offers adults-only stays with tailored health programmes.

The retreat focuses on personalised wellbeing, blending nutrition, movement and emotional balance into every guest’s experience. The hotel provides two main retreat options: the Signature Retreat and the Seasonal Retreat. Prices for the Signature Retreat start at €2,400 per room for three nights, including full board. Seasonal Retreats begin at €3,000 per room, also on a full-board basis.

Each room is designed as a ‘restorative sleep environment’, equipped with wellness bars and vegan amenities. The dining programme is overseen by Michelin-starred chef Victor Borg, who crafts meals based on anti-inflammatory principles.

Amber Gauci Ward, the head of wellness, specialises in ‘transformational wellness’ and nervous system healing. The hotel’s programmes cover five key areas: nutrition, movement, rest and recovery, emotional wellbeing, and human connection. Guests can expect a structured yet flexible approach to improving their health during their stay. Verdala Wellness Hotel marks a new addition to Malta’s hospitality scene. Its focus on holistic health and luxury sets it apart as the island’s first dedicated wellness retreat. The combination of expert-led programmes and high-end facilities aims to attract guests seeking a comprehensive wellbeing experience.
