November 1 marks the official opening of ME Malta, primely positioned in the seaside town of St. Julian's on the island's north-eastern coastline. Located on the water's edge and designed by the globally acclaimed Zaha Hadid as part of the Mercury Towers development, ME Malta will become a cultural hub for travelers and locals alike, elevating the destination's urban scene with its restaurants, bars, and cultural programming. The property is ME by Meliá's Maltese debut and marks the brand's second collaboration with Zaha Hadid, following the success of ME Dubai which opened in 2020.
One of Europe's most celebrated capitals of culture and leading LGBTQ+ destinations, Malta is perfectly aligned with the ME by Meliá brand. Home to a balmy climate, rich history and endless opportunities for fun, the Maltese archipelago is a true Mediterranean gem, and ME Malta provides the ideal base from which to explore. A versatile destination with a vibrant nightlife, picturesque bays and luxury boutiques, St. Julian's offers a plethora of experiences for visitors and is just a few miles west of the capital city of Valletta.
Set across 20 floors, the 113 rooms, 27 suites and 35 residences offer a vibrant, modern environment, embodying ME's signature avant-garde design. An ideal choice for those traveling for both business and leisure, striking social and event spaces include three Thinking Labs, a Plenary Room and two Breakout Rooms. The hotel is also part of ME by Meliá's wider 'Culture Collective' programme, whereby guests can take part in a curated calendar of events including showcases from local artists and performances from the hottest names in music.
Located on the hotel's 8th floor, Cabana Club is set to become Malta's premier rooftop, poolside beach club. Combining panoramic views over the rocky coastline of St Julian's, modern Mediterranean menus, and a striking pool framed with plush cabanas and loungers, Cabana Club is the new destination to relax, dine, and party in style. Hot on the heels of Cabana Club is a new restaurant, Luciano by Gino D'Acampo. The menu, designed by Gino and his expert team, incorporates a selection of classic Italian and experiential dishes, with a focus on high-quality ingredients.
A signature ME by Meliá concept, the hotel's crowning jewel is the Radio Rooftop bar, which will open in early 2025. Guests can indulge in a modern menu of Asian sharing plates and signature cocktails while soaking up unobstructed views of the Mediterranean, soundtracked by some of Malta's top DJs.
Also set to open in early 2025, the Spa offers a tailored experience that combines ancestral wellbeing techniques with the latest technology. Here, guests can choose from a menu of rejuvenating treatments that incorporate local, organic ingredients, from massages and facials to bespoke full-body rituals. A 24/7 gym is complete with state-of-the-art equipment.
A curated collection of hotels rooted in diversity, discovery and discernment, each ME property provides a space where culture and lifestyle can come together in unison. The growing portfolio embodies a contemporary European spirit, with flagship hotels including ME London and ME Milan. As the brand continues to expand into Europe's most captivating cultural capitals, ME Lisbon is next in the pipeline, set to open its doors in 2025.
