Hotel Cavalieri

Hotel Cavalieri details

Perched on the water’s edge at St Julians, the Cavalieri Hotel has a peaceful setting and great views across clear blue seas.

The Cavalieri hotel is a grand, white building that hugs the coastline. And at night, when it’s all lit up, it almost looks like an extra-large lighthouse guiding yachts in to harbour.

Inside, it’s just as impressive. The lobby is a sleek, minimalist affair. Think white marble floors and an avenue of grand columns that leads to a circular, copper-clad reception. All finished off with extra-large windows and abstract art on the walls.

Bedrooms, meanwhile, take on a more classical feel. They’re dressed in creams and golds and kitted out with queen-size beds, satellite TVs and pine wood furniture. Plus you’ll have a balcony that overlooks the bay or marina, too.

As for the food, the restaurant is right at home in its seaside setting. It’s a nautical affair of crisp white table linen teamed with navy blue chairs. And buffets are piled high with Mediterranean dishes and indulgent desserts. What’s more, you can dine al fresco on the sundeck and enjoy barbecues with a side-order of panoramic views across St Julian’s Bay.

A little further along the sundeck is the pool scene, and access to the sea. Tucked between white canvas parasols and sunloungers is a good-sized pool, plus there’s a separate one for pint-sized guests. There’s an indoor pool complete with a whirlpool tub, too.
