Rabat: Serenity Escape & Afternoon Tea + Optional Transfers

Some spa days end with a glass of water. This one ends with **Afternoon Tea and Prosecco**. Set high above the Maltese landscape, **Verdala Wellness Hotel – AX Privilege** offers an elegant escape built around four hours of bathing, heat, cold, hammam rituals, and uninterrupted rest—followed by an afternoon of sandwiches, pastries, warm scones, cakes, and tea. Begin at **VSpa**, where your four-hour admission gives you the freedom to create your own wellness circuit rather than follow a prescribed schedule. Slip into the **indoor pool** for an easy beginning, then move outdoors to the warmth of the jacuzzi. From there, follow whatever your body feels like doing next. Settle into the traditional **sauna**, experience the gentler radiant warmth of the infrared cabin, or step inside the salt cave for a quieter pause. When you are ready for contrast, alternate between the **hot and cold plunge pools**, experiencing the shift in temperature at your own pace. Then enter the hammam. Warmth and steam create another opportunity to slow down before the experience showers bring water and sensory contrast into the circuit. Or simply stop. Four hours gives you enough time to return to the spaces you enjoy rather than treating each facility as something to check off a list. Spa heat, cold immersion, salt environments, hammam bathing, and similar practices are associated with a variety of wellness and therapeutic claims. Specific medical or physiological outcomes should not be assumed. Their appeal here is more immediate: warmth, water, stillness, sensory contrast, and several hours in which your only schedule is the one you choose for yourself. Eventually, trade your spa surroundings for something a little more indulgent. Settle in for an elegant **Afternoon Tea**, beginning with a chilled glass of Prosecco. A selection of **open and closed sandwiches** brings the savory course, followed by delicate pastries and traditional **warm scones with accompaniments**. Then come the cakes. Take your time over an assortment of afternoon tea sweets, accompanied by **unlimited tea and freshly brewed coffee** throughout the experience. It turns an already generous spa visit into something that feels more like an occasion—equally suited to a romantic afternoon, a celebration with someone you love, or the wonderfully underrated pleasure of treating yourself simply because you can. For additional ease, **private round-trip transportation from your Malta hotel** can be included by selecting the transfer option when booking. Then all that remains is to decide what sounds better: one last cup of tea or another piece of cake. **The luxury here is having time for both sides of indulgence—four hours to drift between pool water, sauna heat, hammam steam, salt, and invigorating cold, followed by Prosecco, warm scones, delicate pastries, little sandwiches, and as many cups of tea as the afternoon seems to require.** **Best suited for:** Couples, friends, solo travelers, spa enthusiasts, romantic escapes, celebration days, and Malta visitors looking for a polished wellness experience that pairs substantial spa time with the ritual and pleasure of afternoon tea. **Experience includes:** Four hours of unlimited VSpa access • indoor pool • outdoor jacuzzi • sauna • infrared cabin • salt cave • hot and cold plunge pools • hammam • experience showers • one glass of Prosecco • Afternoon Tea with open and closed sandwiches • pastries • warm scones with accompaniments • afternoon tea cakes • unlimited tea and freshly brewed coffee during Afternoon Tea. **Transfer option:** Private round-trip transportation from your hotel in Malta is included **only when the transportation option is selected at booking**. **Experience note:** The supplier describes four hours of unlimited access to VSpa's wellness facilities.
