Our interests
With a proven track record in delivering high-end lifestyle properties, Polidano has attracted leading international names in the five-star, deluxe hotel and resort sector as partners.
We developed, constructed and invested in the Westin Dragonara Resort and Le Meridien St Julian’s Hotel and Spa which are located in Malta’s prime destination – St Julian’s. Both are noted for their innovative design, impeccable attention to quality and detail throughout and their high standards of service. These hotels – which are both managed by Starwood – have consistently won high acclaim, particularly from corporate travel and hospitality clientele.
We own and manage several other hotels across the Islands including an apart-hotel, a four-star hotel and spa, and a lifestyle day-resort beach. We were among the first to see the potential in diversifying Malta’s leisure market by developing in more outlying regions to the north and south. Polidano pioneered quality hotel accommodation in Malta and was among the first to invest in upgrading the Islands’ leading hotels sector.
Polidano has developed also a new hospitality offer in Malta with Montekristo Estates. This concept development uniquely combines a wine estate, olive grove and chateau to provide the setting for an eclectic range of visitor attractions, hospitality venues and cultural activities. Opened four years ago, Montekristo gives individuals, groups and tour and destination management operators immense scope and flexibility in the hosting of events and in devising innovative hospitality programmes.
Westin Dragonara
The Westin Dragonara was one of the first hotels on Malta’s so-called ‘Golden Mile’, a stretch spanning the Islands’ top resort town St Julian’s and the Blue Flag beach of St George’s Bay. The hotel lies adjacent to the elegant turn of the century Dragonara Casino, a landmark from which the Westin Resort takes its name.
Starwood operates the hotel under the Westin brand and Polidano was responsible for the development, construction, finishings and landscaping of the hotel and resort on this breath-taking peninsula.
