Tucked away on Malta’s northern coast, Naxxar is a historic town with grand squares, elegant churches, and a slower pace that feels worlds apart from the island’s busier resorts. Hotels here lean boutique and characterful—think stylish townhouses turned intimate guesthouses perfect for couples or solo travellers after peace and authenticity. If you’re after luxury resorts or family-friendly stays, nearby St. Paul’s Bay and Bugibba are better options, but for charm and quiet elegance, Naxxar is where you’ll want to unpack.
Naxxar is a charming town that grew up around its 17th-century parish church, and today it still carries a strong sense of history. Wandering its streets, you’ll come across elegant old palaces like Palazzo Parisio and Palazzo Nasciaro, as well as centuries-old fortifications such as Gauci Tower and Captain’s Tower that speak to its once-strategic role. When you’re ready for a slower pace, the nearby coastline is dotted with beaches perfect for sunbathing or slipping into the sea for a spot of snorkelling.
