Bastion Pool, Bar & Restaurant – An open-air poolside restaurant and bar with views towards Valletta’s walls, serving relaxed lunches, cocktails and evening dining in a scenic garden setting. Beefbar in the City – A modern brasserie-style restaurant serving prime beef, international street food-inspired dishes, rich sauces and indulgent sides just outside Valletta. Palm Court Lounge – An elegant all-day lounge for coffee, light bites, cocktails and afternoon tea, including handmade pastries, gourmet sandwiches and loose-leaf teas. The Club Bar – A classic hotel bar specialising in cocktails, spirits, cigars and light bites, with a terrace setting suited to pre-dinner drinks or a late evening nightcap. In-Room Dining – Available 24 hours a day for guests who prefer breakfast, a meal or late-night dining in the privacy of their room or suite.
Spa & Wellness
Cugó Gran Macina Malta provides private wellness treatments and massages rather than a traditional hotel spa facility. Treatments can be arranged in the privacy of your suite, creating a relaxed, personalised experience within the hotel’s historic waterfront setting in Senglea. The treatment menu includes custom-blended aromatherapy, Balinese massage, Shizukesa serenity massage, pregnancy massage, jet lag recovery treatments and seasonal body rituals. The Anti-Stress Signature Package combines aromatherapy massage, foot reflexology, an Indian head massage and a facial ritual for a more complete wellness session. Wellness at Cugó Gran Macina Malta also extends to the rooftop pool and solarium, where sunbeds and Grand Harbour views add an easygoing outdoor retreat to your stay. Private wellness sessions are available by pre-booking through the hotel reception team.
