A Distinctive Maritime Sanctuary in St. Julian's

Unlike urban city hotels across Sliema or Paceville, The Westin Dragonara Resort occupies a secluded promontory surrounded on three sides by the Mediterranean Sea. The architecture draws on classical warm Maltese globigerina limestone colors, balanced with terraced pool platforms, lush subtropical palm gardens, and immediate pedestrian access to St. Julian's cosmopolitan dining strip.
