The sounds of the Mediterranean lapping against the beach will soothe you off to sleep each night in the exquisite surroundings of the Westin Dragonara Resort hotel. Set in stunning isolation on its very own peninsula in St Julian's (but just 15 minutes from Valetta), the Westin Dragonara is the archetypal five-star hotel –perfect in every way.
Your comfort and enjoyment are the main priorities here. And you will experience the sort of service and amenities that only an establishment of this quality can provide. With its own private beach and easy access to the entertainment capital of the island (including the Dragonara Casino) just beyond the main gates, you will want for nothing here.
Waking as the sun streams through the window, you can take in the opulence of your surroundings. Rooms at the Westin Dragonara Resort are particularly spacious, accommodating a king or two queen size beds for your absolute comfort. Each air-conditioned room includes satellite TV, telephone, tea/coffee facilities, minibar and bathrobes and a well-equipped en-suite bathroom. A selection of room upgrades are also available at a supplement. Rooms come with either garden or sea views.
The Westin Dragonara is equipped for whatever kind of holiday you want; the Westin Workout gym provides the very best facilities (and all the motivation you need) to enjoy an excellent workout, followed perhaps by time to relax in the Jacuzzi or steam room.
The Westin Dragonara Resort gives you sensational swimming facilities too. The whole lower level is given over to a full-size heated pool, in addition to the two beautiful outdoor pools, including the Bayview pool which is heated all year round.
To complement the perfect holiday experience, the resort offers a huge choice of dining experiences attempting and unique bars and restaurants throughout the resort. The one common denominator? Food is fresh and locally sourced ingredients are used whenever possible. 24-hour room service is also available for an indulgent night in.
With shopping, swimming, diving and a casino all on hand, the Westin Dragonara Resort is a hub of holiday activities. That it is such a perfect spot, with so many wonderful amenities only add to the desire to stay at one of Malta's foremost and finest resorts.
Resting on its own peninsula, the Westin Dragonara Resort is lapped by the azure waters of the Mediterranean. With the blend of traditional and modern St Julian's only minutes away, there are endless possibilities for relaxation and enjoyment.
Stayed here for our anniversary this year and cannot speak highly enough of this hotel. From the moment we arrived we were welcomed and felt a friendly, professional service was given by every member of staff we encountered throughout our stay. Check in was so easy, we’d arrived early and the room wasn’t quite ready so we were checked in so we could access the facilities and the staff called us when the room wasn’t quite ready. The room we had was a king size sea view and was very spacious with great views of the sea, pool area and terrace. It was very spacious, clean and plenty of replenishments from the friendly room staff. Breakfast was absolutely outstanding with an amazing selection of every kind of food you might want for breakfast. Service at the pool area when we went there was great too, with helpful friendly staff who it felt spent time getting to know you with chatting when serving. The restaurants on site were also varied, we ate at the Terrace, Palio’s Trattoria and Quadro, absolutely outstanding again with professional, friendly staff who delivered excellent service. We loved our first time here and when we come back to Malta we will stay here again.
A five star luxury style hotel with spacious rooms and facilities including bars and numerous dining options located at St Julian’s, overlooking the Mediterranean. We enjoyed our stay and the upgrade to Executive lounge facilities thanks to Sunny. Everything fully met and in many cases exceeded our expectations.
We stayed at The Westin Dragonara Resort from 1 to 4 October 2026, and would like to express our heartfelt thanks to the people who made us feel so welcome.
Our appreciation begins with Ms Graziella Desira, whose outstanding professionalism and personal attention made the booking process a pleasure. She guided us through every step with such care that we felt looked after even before arriving. The front desk team continued that welcome beautifully: although we reached the hotel well before the official check-in time, they arranged for us to access our room almost immediately. It was a thoughtful gesture and a wonderful start to our holiday.
The resort itself is magnificent: beautifully maintained, with an elegant yet relaxed atmosphere, lovely indoor and outdoor swimming pools, and direct access to the sea. There is a reassuring sense that every aspect of hospitality has been carefully considered. We would also like to recognise the Terrace Restaurant staff for their kindness, courtesy and the gracious way they look after their guests. Breakfast deserves a special mention: the quality and variety of the food are exceptional. It is an experience not to be missed.
There was, however, a problem that affected our stay. The air conditioning in our room malfunctioned, leaving it uncomfortably cold for two of our three nights. Although our visit coincided with the transition from the summer heat to the autumn season, the discomfort was considerable, and we expressed our dissatisfaction quite firmly. What we appreciated was finding staff who listened, took our concerns seriously and worked to put things right.
Our most heartfelt thanks go to the Manager Mr Ashish Lama. He approached the situation with calm, empathy and genuine concern for our comfort. He resolved the problem and did everything he could to ensure that the final part of our holiday was as pleasant and comfortable as possible. His manner made a real difference: even when we were frustrated, he never allowed us to feel that our concerns were an inconvenience.
The air-conditioning issue was disappointing, and we would not wish to overlook it. Equally, we would not wish it to overshadow the beauty of the resort or the kindness of the people we met. Graziella, Ashish, the front desk and the Terrace Restaurant team all deserve our sincere appreciation. Thank you for your professionalism, your warmth and, above all, for taking such good care of us.

I have just returned from a weeks holiday with my wife . We had booked a club room on a bed and breakfast basis through Jet2 holidays. This is our second stay at this hotel so we were familiar with the hotel and its surroundings. The transfer from the hotel takes about 30 minutes although the airport appears to be always busy so passport control and finding your way about takes a bit of time. It was a very early flight so we arrived to find our room was not ready however they checked us into the hotel to allow us to use the facilities. The check in was efficient and friendly however and they promised to phone me when the room was ready which they duly did as we were having our lunch. We were allocated a room on the eighth floor with a beautiful sea view which was also close to the club lounge which we used for predinner drinks and also breakfast on one occasion . The room itself was large and had a large bathroom and balcony together with the usual tea coffee machines fridge etc which you expect from a hotel of this quality. The beds were extremely comfortable and the rooms were well stocked with towels which were refreshed at both morning and tuck down visits. The quality of the breakfast was extremely high and provided an extensive selection to cater for all wishes . On arrival at the restaurant you would be shown to your table of choice and within a couple of minutes you tea and coffee would arrive . The service really was exceptional with all staff keen to ensure you were properly served. We did not dine in the hotel as we tended to use the local restaurants however we used the pool bar for lunch and drinks where again I found the service fabulous. Not just from a service point of view but also friendly with the staff being happy to chat and get to know you. One point to note are the portion sizes which we found way to large so we tended to share meals which helped greatly. During our stay we tended to use the Adult area for sunbeds which is located next to the sea . It has points of access for swimming in the sea however when we were there the water was quite choppy so we avoided it this time however we found it great on our last visit. The only downside about this hotel is its location in the town of St Julians which we find tacky however getting around Malta is easy with a very good bus service right next to the hotel and also ample Ubers/ Bolts about so it does not put us off staying here . I can absolutely recommend this hotel if you are planning a holiday in Malta as long as you keep your eyes shut when you leave the hotel grounds . Full marks must go to the hotel management as they employ a lot of excellent staff you are obviously well trained.
The location is outstanding, near to everything St Julian’s Bay has to offer but on a peaceful headland in beautiful gardens away from the noise. The atmosphere is relaxed, quiet luxury. The room was very big with a nice balcony and sea view. It was kept spotless by housekeeping who never overlook the smallest details. All of the team at the Westin Dragonara went out of their way to make us feel welcome and to anticipate our every need.
