Malta: Mediterranean Wellness Escape

Welcome to Malta. Upon arrival, guests will be greeted at the airport and transferred to Verdala Wellness Hotel - AX Privilege in a private air-conditioned vehicle. After check-in and time to settle in, the group will gather for a Welcome Dinner at the hotel restaurant, offering the perfect opportunity to connect and ease into the retreat experience.

Begin the morning with an energizing wellness session, followed by breakfast at the hotel. Later in the morning, travel to a local agricultural estate for an authentic farm-to-table culinary experience. During a guided tour of the estate, you'll learn about Malta's rich farming traditions while exploring the seasonal crops and fresh ingredients grown on the property.

Following the farm visit, head to a rustic workshop kitchen for a hands-on cooking class where you'll prepare a traditional three-course Maltese meal using locally sourced, seasonal ingredients. After cooking, gather together to enjoy the meal you've created, paired with local house wine and warm Maltese hospitality.

Before returning to the hotel, you'll receive traditional recipes, along with a commemorative apron and chef's hat, allowing you to recreate the flavors of Malta long after your journey comes to an end.

Start the day with a guided wellness practice and breakfast before departing for a private catamaran sailing experience along Malta's stunning coastline. Spend the day swimming, snorkelling, and soaking in the Mediterranean views while enjoying a fresh BBQ lunch onboard.

The catamaran operates for eight hours, with paddleboards and snorkelling gear included, and bathrooms available on board. Return to the hotel in the late afternoon with the evening free to enjoy at leisure.

Today is dedicated to rest and recovery. Following a morning wellness session and breakfast, guests will enjoy a customized 40-minute spa treatment experience designed exclusively for the retreat at Verdala Wellness Hotel.

The remainder of the day is open for relaxation, reflection, or personal exploration — a gentle pause to integrate the experiences of the days before.

After a morning wellness session and breakfast, enjoy a slow-paced day before heading to Majjistral Nature and History Park for a guided sunset hike. Explore Malta's rugged coastal beauty while taking in breathtaking Mediterranean views as the light softens toward evening. The park is approximately 25 minutes from the hotel. Following the hike, the group will gather for dinner at Bohini Restaurant before returning to the hotel.

Begin the morning with an energizing wellness session, followed by breakfast at the hotel. Today's experience takes guests on a scenic e-biking adventure through Malta's beautiful landscapes before arriving at Villa San Martin for a nourishing wellness lunch.

The menu features fresh salads, grilled chicken, Mediterranean bowls, and infused waters. The afternoon invites time to relax and reflect. Later in the evening, depart the hotel as we celebrate the journey with a special Farewell Dinner at a local restaurant.

Enjoy one final wellness session and breakfast at the hotel before checking out. Take a quiet moment to reflect on the experiences, connections, and renewal this journey has offered. From the movement of mountain trails and the calm of open water to shared meals and a restorative spa morning, Malta has provided space to breathe, reset, and return home renewed. At the appropriate time, guests will be transferred to the airport for their onward journey.
