The Xara Palace Relais & Châteaux

Located at Misrah Il-Kunsill in Mdina, Malta, The Xara Palace Relais & Châteaux is a 5-star hotel. Mdina is a fortified hilltop city in the Western District of central Malta and the island's former capital. Often called the "Silent City," it has origins in antiquity, a largely car-free medieval and Baroque core, and is one of Malta's most important historic sites. The hotel is registered within Malta's official accommodation classification system, which distinguishes properties by star rating, type, and service standard. The hotel is close to Annunciation Church, Domus Romana, and Mdina Gate — key landmarks in Mdina. The Maltese archipelago enjoys more than 300 days of sunshine a year, a warm Mediterranean climate, and a coastline of sheltered bays, cliffs, and sandy beaches. Its compact geography — no point is more than 45 minutes by car from any other — makes it an unusually easy island to explore. Reservations can be made through Booking.com and similar platforms, which cover the full range of Malta's registered hotels and guest houses.
