Whether for business or pleasure, the festive season brings with it a time of celebration for all. We dine and wine in true Mediterranean fashion, express

our appreciation and take stock of the year gone by, whilst wishing each other a successful new year ahead.

Our selection of unique venues and exquisite menus prepared by award-winning chefs offer the perfect setting for any event. Our team is, as always, at your disposal

to see to your requirements.

The Xara Palace is Malta’s only privately-owned 5-star deluxe boutique hotel, with a grand and luxurious piazza and atrium. This 17th Century Palazzo is home to

Malta’s premier award-winning de Mondion Restaurant and our stylish Trattoria A.D. 1530 located in the charming piazza.

Nestled in the open Rabat countryside just below Mdina, The Xara Lodge, our latest venture, has been built to relive the glory of a traditional country house. As a true, multi-purpose venue from its inception, The Xara Lodge has highly

modular private areas and is hence ideal for any size event and occasion.

Palazzo de Piro is a multifunctional cultural centre located in the core of the silent city of Mdina. Palazzo de Piro exudes a wonderful sense of history, yet artfully

combines all the contemporary qualities and comforts.
