Hotel Phoenicia is offering a weekend of romance for Valentine’s Day, on the back of being ranked in Malta’s top six most romantic hotels in TripAdvisor’s Travellers’ Choice Awards.

Guests can start Saturday evening with a special themed dinner in the Phoenix Restaurant, with a complimentary welcome aperitif for all couples.

Hotel staff will pamper and spoil you throughout the evening, which includes a three-course set meal for €95 per couple.

Diners will also be presented with a surprise gift to celebrate their love.

Alternatively, there is the option to wine and dine à la carte in the award-winning Pegasus restaurant, then dance the night away in the Palm Court Lounge.

Seafood lovers can pre-order a plateau de fruits de mer, a luxuriant selection of shellfish on ice, accompanied by a bottle of French sparkling wine. Godwin Lucas will play mellow and romantic classics in the perfect location to gently dance the night away.

On Sunday, couples can enjoy the signature Sunday lunch carvery at Pegasus, followed by a Valentine’s afternoon tea in the Palm Court Lounge, with soft tunes from the Dominic Galea Trio.

The hotel has a Valentine’s Boutique open from Tuesday, filled with Valentine's inspired lollipops, cupcakes, muffins, chocolates and truffles, along with fun-filled gifts such as teddy bears and boxes of hand-made chocolates – perfect for last-minute presents.
