Selmun Palace Hotel, parts of the surrounding landscape and the grandiose Selmun castle are again up for sale.

The hotel is a fully-owned subsidiary of Air Malta.

Prospective buyers are encouraged to submit their bids and ideas for the site after the Commissioner of Land turned down a €2 million bid, thought to have been submitted in early January.

The advert, which appeared in a recent edition of the Financial Times, read that “in line with its declared strategy of divesting itself of its non-core activities and operations, Air Malta plc, through the Government of Malta, will be selling 100 per cent of the share capital of Selmun Palace Hotel Co. Ltd which owns and operates the Selmun Palace Hotel”.

The Selmun Hotel, classified as a four star hotel, is located next to the eighteenth century Selmun castle, which is often used for weddings, in the limits of Mellieha. The hotel’s website domain is also up for sale.
