Wednesday nights also offer an à la carte dinner service until 10pm, which guests can enjoy paired with live music from the Jazz Quartet with Dominic Galea, amid the ambience of a balmy summer evening spent in five-star style, overlooking Marsamxett Harbour as the sun sets.

The weekly entertainment line-up between 7.30 and 10pm also includes Jimmy Bartolo and Friends on Tuesdays, as well as Acoustic Evenings with Amelia every Thursday.

Those seeking summer revitalisation can meanwhile opt for the hotel's outdoor spa package, which includes a 50-minute Harmonising Massage in the hotel's gorgeous gardens, use of the infinity pool and a food and beverage credit for Bastion Pool, Bar & Restaurant - the ultimate self-care experience, with a luxury twist.
