Dolmen Hotel

Perched along the scenic Qawra coast of St. Paul’s Bay, Dolmen Hotel in Malta is close to Bugibba Square and from the towns of St. Julian’s and Valletta, the capital. Stay in 488 rooms and suites, some with sliding glass doors that open to reveal panoramas of the Mediterranean Sea, the Megalithic Temples (a UNESCO World Heritage Site) or St. Paul's Bay. Other reasons to visit include a seafront casino and the Amazonia Complex, which features an Instagram-worthy infinity pool peeking over the water, a kiddie pool with a waterfall, the Aqua Terrace Bar overlooking St. Paul’s Island and direct access to the beach. When hunger strikes, choose among Café Bistro, whose glass walls make you feel like you’re dining outdoors; Carvv, a spin on an American steakhouse; the Oracle Casino Pasta & Grill located in the hotel’s casino; the seaside Batubulan Sunset Grill, which serves seafood; and the Agora Bar & Lounge in the lobby.
