Unveiling Medusa: A Mythical Experience 10 Floors Above

Situated on level 10 of ODYCY Malta in Qawra, Malta, the Medusa Skybar is a unique concept inspired by Greek mythology and female empowerment. Medusa, the mythical creature with snakes for hair and the power to turn people to stone with her gaze, has been reimagined as a symbol of strength, beauty, and independence in this sky-high location. The bar’s focus on high-end champagnes and signature cocktails makes it the perfect destination for the discerning traveller looking for a one-of-a-kind experience.

At the heart of this elevated sky bar lies the inspiration drawn from one of Greek mythology’s most enigmatic figures—Medusa. Renowned for her mesmerizing gaze and the intricate tales woven around her, Medusa’s mystique has endured through the ages. Often depicted as a symbol of power, beauty, and enigma, her story serves as the cornerstone for the bar’s ethos – with female empowerment being at its core.

Stepping into Medusa Sky Bar is akin to embarking on a mythical odyssey. The ambiance exudes an aura of mysticism, with carefully curated elements that pay homage to the legend. The interplay of lighting, decor, and architectural design whispers echoes of the enigmatic Greek gorgon while embracing contemporary sophistication.

The décor intricately weaves Medusa’s essence into every detail—the subtle serpent motifs, the mesmerizing light installations reminiscent of her serpentine locks, and the beguiling bust of Medusa herself out on the terrace, that stands at over two metres tall.

Of course, the main attraction of any sky bar is the drinks, and Medusa Skybar does not disappoint. The bar’s champagne list features an impressive selection of high-end labels. If champagne isn’t your thing, the signature cocktail menu is equally impressive, featuring a range of unique and creative concoctions. The Gorgon’s Gaze, for example, is a blend of gin, Martini Bianco, adding a kick to it with ginger syrup, passion fruit puree and citrus, while the Serpent’s Kiss is a refreshing mix of gin, dark rum, fresh mint, citrus, and strawberry foam. Every drink is expertly crafted by the talented team of mixologists, ensuring that each sip is a true experience.

Medusa Sky Bar isn’t merely a venue; it’s an experience—a tapestry woven with threads of history, mythology, and sophistication. What sets the Medusa Skybar apart from other sky-high destinations is its unique focus on female empowerment. Medusa, the mythical creature who is often depicted as a monster, has been reimagined as a symbol of strength and beauty. Claire Zammit Xuereb, Director of Hospitality at AX Group who guided the project as a whole, wanted to create a space that celebrated the power and independence of women, while also paying homage to the rich history and mythology of Greece. “We want to encourage patrons to experience all that Medusa has to offer – from its mysterious ambience to its premium drinks.
