A Day in the Life at Verdala: Inside Malta’s New Wellness Resort

Finding a wellness resort that truly helps you reset physically, emotionally, and mentally can feel like chasing a dream. You’re not just looking for massages and spa treatments but a place that balances luxury with purpose, that grounds you in nature, and inspires calm with every detail.

Welcome to Verdala Wellness Hotel, Malta’s newest wellness resort that is offering something quite new and unique. Located in Rabat’s tranquil countryside and just a short walk from the timeless citadel of Mdina, Verdala Wellness Hotel blends holistic healing, Mediterranean charm, and five-star luxury into one deeply restorative experience.

Here’s what one perfect day at Verdala could look like, and why it’s already being called one of the best spa resorts in Europe.

You open your eyes to soft natural light pouring into your room through floor-to-ceiling windows at our wellness spa resort. Each guest room at Verdala Wellness Hotel embraces you with interiors that reflect the resort’s commitment to calming earthy tones, textured stone, natural woods, and lush greenery. Each design aspect is designed to come together in order to support rest and renewal.

Stepping out onto your private balcony, you take in the sweeping views of the Rabat countryside. The peace is almost tangible. Then you can head downstairs for breakfast, where a colourful and freshly prepared spread awaits. It’s as nourishing as it is beautiful, a key component of this wellness resort that places just as much care in its cuisine as in its treatments.

After breakfast, ease into the day with a morning yoga session. Each class is led by a professional, it’s tailored to the energy level and needs of the group, a key feature of Verdala’s bespoke wellness approach.

After yoga, you’re guided to VSPA, the 1,500-square-meter wellness sanctuary at the heart of Verdala. Following an in-depth consultation, you enjoy a personalised massage, designed specifically for your body’s needs. Whether you’re seeking deep tissue work, lymphatic drainage, or a gentle release, every treatment at this resort is delivered by expert hands using carefully selected techniques and oils.

Following a reinvigorating morning of yoga and treatments, lunch at Verdala is your next sensory experience. The Griffin Brasserie, led by Culinary Director Victor Borg, serves up a delicious selection of locally inspired dishes made with seasonal, nutrient-rich ingredients. Every dish is crafted to nourish without compromising on flavour, because at this wellness resort in Malta, wellness is about joy as much as health.

Feeling recharged, you can take a short stroll to Mdina, also known as the Silent City. Within 10 minutes walk from our wellness resort, you’ll step through Mdina’s grand stone gates, ready to explore one of Malta’s oldest and most breathtaking cities.

Here you can visit St Paul’s Cathedral, wander through the narrow, golden-hued streets, and admire the panoramic views from Mdina’s bastions. Pop into small cafés for a cooling drink and soak in the city’s timeless beauty.

Following a refined evening dinner at The Griffin, you might want to enjoy a quiet dip in the heated outdoor pool, one of Verdala’s most tranquil spaces. Lit by soft, ambient lights and framed by landscaped gardens, the pool offers the perfect setting to wind down after a day of mindful indulgence. It’s a gentle reminder that wellness isn’t only found in spa treatments and therapies, but also in these slow, quiet moments at our wellness resort in Malta.

Back in your room, pour a cup of herbal tea and step out onto the balcony once more. The countryside is calm under the starlit sky. With journal in hand, you can take a few moments to reflect. Here, at this uniquely personal wellness resort, you’re not just resting, you’re reconnecting with yourself. Every space, every plate, every treatment has been curated to help you feel whole again.

It’s this careful attention to balance, restoration, and presence that places Verdala among the best spa resorts and most thoughtfully designed wellness resorts in the Mediterranean.
