Which Xlendi Stay Suits You?

Xlendi is tiny, but the places to stay are quite varied. Most of the options are within a few minutes’ walk of the bay, so the real choice is the style of stay you prefer.

Seafront stays on the bay: Seafront hotels along the promenade have balconies, restaurants, and terraces where you can watch the sunset with a drink in hand.

Boutique-style comfort: For a more relaxed atmosphere, Xlendi and the surrounding valley offer small boutique properties with individually designed rooms, cosy lounges and generous breakfasts.

Studios and aparthotels: You'll find plenty of aparthotels and studios near the seafront, which are great for families and those who like to cook.

Countryside–meets–coast: There are also countryside-style hotels above the bay, often with pools and views, and nearby restaurants and swimming spots in Xlendi.

Hotel San Andrea
