Location Summary
The citadel of Mdina has been fortified since as far back as 1000BC when the Phoenicians built a protective wall here. The history of Rabat dates back just as far and also has strong religious ties as this is where St. Paul was imprisoned during his time in Malta and later where St. Agatha hid after she had fled from Sicily.
Banquets & Meetings
The Xara Lodge is a new and exciting concept, nestled in the open Rabat countryside just below Mdina, The Xara Lodge is the style of a traditional Maltese country house. As a true, multi-purpose venue from its inception, The Lodge is ideal for any size of event and occasion, from grand weddings to corporate events through meetings and conferences, product launches, shows and much more.
Fine Dining On Site
Whether you choose our award-winning fine dining de Mondion, perched on Mdina's bastions, the more relaxed, al fresco Trattoria AD 1530 in the palace's courtyard, or if you'd rather enjoy a sumptuous dinner in the privacy of your room, at The Xara Palace we pride ourselves in featuring a cuisine richly steeped in these basic ingredients, yet not bound by the shackles of tradition.
