With sleek, white, and Moorish designs, the 515-room db San Antonio Hotel & Spa stands out against Qawra’s rocky limestone shores and blue waters located across from the hotel. Outdoor pools, including a children's pool and an adult-only rooftop pool, overlook the sea. A Moroccan-themed spa features a gym with a boxing studio, and an indoor pool and hot tub under a skylight. On-site dining is elegant, but there are often long queues for seating. Minimalist, Moroccan-themed rooms offer balconies or terraces, and many come with sea views. However, this area mostly has rocky beaches, unlike the sandy shores at Radisson Blu Resort & Spa, Malta Golden Sands.
