The much-anticipated Verdala Wellness Hotel AX Privilege is set to open in Rabat, Malta, this August, introducing a fresh approach to wellness that bridges holistic practices with Mediterranean luxury. With its cave-inspired architecture, unmatched panoramic vistas, five pillars of well-being and bespoke retreats, this unique property by AX Hotels is rooted in a philosophy of balance and intention.
Providing travelers with an alternative to immersive retreats in Asia, Verdala celebrates Malta’s distinctive rocky landscape, working harmoniously with the natural formations to create protective spaces where guests can safely explore vulnerability and reconnect with their authentic selves. This vision extends into the hotel’s inviting communal areas including The Phoenix multipurpose hall for workshops and events, The Nest relaxation lounge for quiet moments of calm and The Drawing Room, a naturally lit space ideal for reading or reflection.
The heart of Verdala’s transformative experience is V SPA, where guests embark on a tailored wellness journey under the guidance of a seasoned team of experts. Spanning an impressive 1,500 square meters, V SPA embodies a holistic approach that integrates both time-honored practices and advanced therapies. Signature treatments draw inspiration from Maltese herbalism traditions offering rituals designed for deep restoration. From contrast therapies and physiotherapy to energy healing and advanced facials, each service is delivered with intention and expertise. Facilities include a salt cave, a cave-inspired indoor pool, a hammam, an infrared sauna, experience showers, consultation suites and movement spaces for yoga and Pilates. The Echoes meditation zone and Elixir Bar complete the experience supporting reflection and nourishment throughout the day.
Verdala’s approach to wellness programs is refreshingly different. Rather than offering off-the-shelf packages, the hotel provides three types of retreats that can be personalized to individual needs, drawing inspiration from Mediterranean rhythms, cultural rituals and seasonal cycles. Signature Retreats reflect the essence of Verdala, carefully curated around the five pillars of well-being to deliver a balanced and immersive experience. Seasonal Retreats align with the Mediterranean’s natural rhythm offering different focuses for winter, summer, spring and autumn. Custom Retreats are fully tailored to personal goals, with a flexible approach that allows guests to build a program perfectly aligned with their needs.
At Verdala there is no single formula for well-being. The focus is on meeting each guest where they are, offering gentle guidance and meaningful support throughout their personal wellness journey. axhotelsmalta.com
