Riviera Spa Resort in Detail
Your Wellness Hotel
The Riviera Spa Resort in Malta is an exclusive adults-only hideaway (from age 16), designed for those who wish to consciously disconnect, recharge, and leave everyday life behind. Situated directly by the idyllic Marfa Bay, the resort blends Mediterranean flair with modern wellness architecture. In the expansive spa area, guests seeking relaxation enjoy soothing treatments, tranquil relaxation zones, and comprehensive self-care. A place where wellness, indulgence, and time for oneself are central. Perfect for relaxed getaways in a stylish setting.
Location & Surroundings
Nestled in the tranquil coastal landscape of Malta's North Coast, the Riviera Spa Resort, situated above the picturesque Marfa Bay, offers a harmonious blend of relaxation in nature and cultural diversity. Strolls along the coast, excursions to authentic fishing villages, or restful hours by the sea create the perfect backdrop for a rejuvenating getaway.
The surroundings of the resort captivate with a fascinating mix of history, myth, and Mediterranean lifestyle.
Dining & Leisure
At the Riviera Spa Resort, dining becomes an experience with three first-class restaurants and stylish bars that impress with diversity, quality, and Mediterranean flair.
In the main restaurant "Mirasol", as part of your booked meal plan, enjoy a delicious selection of Mediterranean and international specialties from the buffet, fresh, colourful, and full of flavours (The all-inclusive offer is available exclusively from May to October.) Vegan, vegetarian, lactose-free, and gluten-free options are available on request for guests with special dietary needs.
The à la carte restaurant "Osteria Tropea" brings Italian zest to your plate and delights with homemade pasta and a noble sea view. Authentic Lebanese cuisine with spicy delicacies and oriental flair is served at the restaurant "Byblos", a real highlight for gourmets.
Three stylish bars, including the "Comino Sunset Bar" with a breathtaking panoramic view, invite you to relax with coffee, cocktails, and light snacks. Whether at sunset or to end the day, indulgence is always on the menu at Riviera Spa Resort.
In all restaurants, the dress code is casual, but sleeveless tops (tank tops) are not allowed at any time.
Wellness & Spa
The Riviera Spa Resort - Adults Only stands for the highest standards of quality and guest satisfaction, a philosophy that is also reflected in the collaboration with the renowned Carisma Spa & Wellness (open daily from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m.). The long-standing recognition with the World Luxury Spa Awards underscores the excellent reputation of the hotel and confirms its position as one of the top destinations in the Mediterranean for holistic relaxation and exclusive wellness experiences. Nestled in the quiet atmosphere of the resort, the modern spa combines Eastern healing arts with innovative Western treatments, perfect for bringing body and mind into lasting harmony. A heated seawater indoor pool (29°C), a sunlit fitness centre, and stylish relaxation areas provide the setting for a diverse range of offerings: from detox and aromatherapies to classic and Ayurvedic massages, as well as beauty treatments for face and body. Steam bath, sauna, ice fountain, and harmoniously designed retreats complement the spa experience. Here, wellness is redefined as a powerful connection of professional care, high-quality products, and tangible renewal.
Fitness & Courses
For guests who find peace through movement, the Riviera Spa Resort provides the perfect setting. Yoga sessions with views of the sparkling Mediterranean invite you to consciously center yourself, deepen your breathing, and rejuvenate. The program is complemented by Aerial Yoga, a modern form of practice where flowing movements are performed in soft fabrics. This sensation of weightlessness enhances stretching and body awareness, offering a new balance between strength and ease. Equally effective and meditative is Tai Chi, taught at the resort by dedicated instructors. This ancient Chinese form of exercise combines flowing movements with inner mindfulness, promoting both energetic and physical balance. Pilates specifically strengthens the core, improves posture, and enhances overall well-being - gentle, effective, and suitable for all levels. Those who prefer to recharge their zest for life through rhythmic movement will find joy and energy in Salsa classes, a vibrant break filled with music, ease, and social interaction.
Pool Area
Two stunning seawater outdoor pools invite you to dive in and linger. Surrounded by Mediterranean sun and with breathtaking views of the crystal-clear sea, this is the perfect place to let your soul dangle and fully enjoy the moment.
Free Time
For active holidaymakers and water sports enthusiasts, the Riviera Spa Resort offers a diverse range of leisure activities right on your doorstep: "Bluewaves Water Sports" provides thrills and a natural experience with jet skiing, kayaking & more, all with a view of the stunning island of Comino. Those who prefer to dive deeper can explore Malta's fascinating underwater world with "Dive Vision", from vibrant reefs to mysterious wrecks, guided by seasoned professionals (both activities are subject to a fee). As the day fades into sunset, the evenings at the stylish Sunset Parties transform into atmospheric highlights filled with music, dance, and Mediterranean flair, perfect for making your holiday evening unforgettable.
