Tucked inside the leafy Wied Ghollieqa Nature Reserve, Urban Valley Resort & Spa gives you easy access to the great outdoors (including the largest population of Malta’s endangered national tree, the sandarac gum). Yet, its central location also puts you close to the island’s most popular and visited sites. When it comes time to return to the Malta hotel, make use of the tennis courts, archery offerings and spa, which includes a pinewood sauna, steam room, indoor heated pool, fitness area and three treatment rooms. For cocktails, try Thistle Lounge Bar or alfresco Viento, and for meals, make a beeline for Silver Heron or the seasonal Tri Bistro. Elsewhere on the property, you’ll find amenities like a greenhouse and gardens, two large freshwater outdoor pools — one of which is for children — and a spacious deck overlooking the nature reserve. The most luxurious overnight options are the penthouses with marble floors, roomy terraces and outdoor sun loungers.
