maltatoday | SUNDAY • 9 JUNE 2024 6 COMMERCIAL Phoenicia unveils new experiences programme to make a five-star summer THE Phoenicia Malta has ush- ered in the return of Maltese summertime with the launch of a new programme of laid-back lux- ury summer experiences. Officially introduced earlier this week, The Phoenicia Malta Sum- mer Experience features regular events designed to help guests re- lax and rejuvenate while the sun shines, all held within the luxuri- ous comfort of this five-star prop- erty. With a focus on wellness, the summer programme includes Sunrise Yoga and a Sunset Fitness Class – both held in the tranquilli- ty of the hotel's renowned gardens – while guests can also keep fit in style in the ABS & TONE Classes with Sam on Fridays throughout June, as well as indulge in The Phoenicia Malta's state-of-the-art spa. Entertainment and culinary delights are also very much on the summer schedule, with Summer Evenings By The Pool at the Bas- tion Pool Bar & Restaurant. Set against the backdrop of Valletta's 16th century bastions and The Phoenicia Malta's Insta-worthy infinity pool, the series includes a themed event with live music every weekday evening. Flavours of Sicily presents exqui- site Sicilian wines in collaboration with Donnafugata Winery every Monday, served alongside a spe- cially crafted Sicilian dish, while rum lovers shouldn't miss the selection of Zacapa Rum cock- tails at South American Vibes on Tuesdays. Barbecue Under The Stars offers a mid-week barbecue the Maltese way and, to complete the week, guests can sit back at a Gin & Jazz evening on Thursdays and at Tequila Fridays in collab- oration with Don Julio Tequila. Plus, guests can take a front-row seat, cocktail in hand, to Mal- ta's exquisite summer sunset at a Sundown Chillout session with a DJ every Sunday. Within the ho- tel's elegant Palm Court Lounge, there's also the chance to while away the summer to the tunes of the resident pianist, or even mix and mingle with The Phoenicia Malta's management. To create more sublime summer moments, The Phoenicia Malta has carefully curated a regularly updated series of luxury experiences across Mal- ta, such as a local wine tasting at Markus Divinus, a picnic harbour boat cruise, a chauffeur-driven day tour or a romantic moonlight swim exclusively for two at The Phoenicia Spa & Wellness. "Our goal is to provide a haven of relaxation, wellness and enter- tainment for both our local and international guests as their sum- mer destination of choice, with a vibrant summer programme that epitomises the spirit of Maltese hospitality," says The Phoenicia Malta General Manager, Robyn Pratt. "We invite everyone to ex- perience the magic of a Mediter- ranean summer at The Phoenicia Malta."
