A Truly Outstanding Hotel
From the moment we arrived until the day we left, our five-night stay at Verdala Hotel was exceptional.
The hotel itself is beautiful, peaceful and immaculately maintained, but what really sets it apart is the people. Every member of staff we encountered was warm, welcoming and highly professional. The service struck the perfect balance between genuine friendliness and discreet efficiency, making us feel valued throughout our stay.
We stayed in a Junior Suite which was spacious, beautifully appointed and incredibly comfortable. It was a wonderful place to relax after exploring Malta.
We also dined at The Griffin on a few occasions. Each meal was excellent. The menu is thoughtfully curated, the food was consistently delicious and the service was outstanding every time. It became one of the highlights of our stay.
Verdala Hotel has created something quite special. The atmosphere throughout the property is calm, luxurious and effortlessly welcoming. It is clear that there is a strong culture of hospitality, and every member of the team deserves recognition.
I would not hesitate to recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a luxury stay in Malta, and we are already looking forward to returning.
Almost five stars, consistency is the missing piece
Verdala Wellness Hotel has all the potential to become one of the best luxury wellness hotels in Malta. At the moment, however, it falls just short of a true five-star experience because of inconsistent service.
The hotel itself is beautiful. Everything feels new, modern and tastefully designed. Our Junior Suite was spacious, with a huge comfortable bed, a lovely bathroom with both a bath and shower, and a practical terrace. The wellness facilities, gym and spa are outstanding, and the massages were excellent. The infinity pool overlooking the valley is stunning and creates a very relaxing atmosphere.
The food also deserves special praise. Breakfast, lunch by the pool and dinner at Griffin were all of excellent quality.
There are a few practical improvements that would make a big difference. There are simply not enough sunbeds around the pool, especially during weekends. Staff even advised guests to reserve beds early in the morning with towels and personal belongings, which unfortunately creates the atmosphere of a crowded all-inclusive resort rather than a luxury wellness hotel.
The biggest opportunity for improvement is service consistency. Some staff members, especially Jade, Samuel and Sri, delivered exceptional service, as did the reception and housekeeping teams. Unfortunately, this wasn't the case throughout the hotel. Food service was often very slow, breakfast orders were not always prepared correctly, the wellness call buttons frequently went unanswered, and we even requested cutlery for our room several times without it ever arriving. During half of our stay there was also no Coca-Cola Zero available anywhere in the resort, something you would not expect from a five-star hotel.
These are all relatively small issues on their own, but together they prevent Verdala from fully delivering the luxury experience its beautiful facilities deserve.
Overall, we had a very enjoyable stay and would definitely recommend the hotel. With a few improvements in operational consistency and service, Verdala could easily become a true five-star destination.

Exceptional Stay!
We had a wonderful stay at Verdala. From the moment we arrived, the service was exceptional, and the hotel provided the perfect place to relax.
A special thank you goes to Mr. Julian Anthony Calascione who truly made our stay memorable. He was always checking in on us, making sure we were comfortable, and went above and beyond to ensure we had everything we needed. His kindness, professionalism, and genuine care did not go unnoticed and made us feel incredibly welcome.
Thank you to the whole team for such a lovely experience. Will surely see us again!
