Project Description

The Sands Resort is a visionary luxury hospitality and lifestyle destination envisioned along one of Malta’s most pristine coastal stretches. Anchored by a sweeping beachfront promenade and panoramic views of the Mediterranean, the development was master planned to offer an elevated seaside escape that balances architectural elegance with natural beauty.

At the heart of the resort stands an 18-storey five-star hotel, a modern landmark defined by its sculptural façade and vertical rhythm. The hotel was designed to house world-class amenities, exclusive retail boutiques, fine dining venues, and a panoramic rooftop experience overlooking the sea.

Surrounding the main tower, a collection of private villas and multi-level terraced hotel suites were arranged organically into the site’s gentle slope—blurring the lines between architecture and landscape. Each unit was designed to embrace expansive sea views, natural light, and direct access to a series of lush gardens, meandering walkways, and secluded lounging areas.

The resort’s beachfront zone was conceived as a curated leisure destination, with private cabanas, dining terraces, and wellness pavilions that invite guests to unwind at the edge of land and sea. From sunrise yoga on the sand to sunset dinners by the water, The Sands Resort was envisioned as a sensory journey through understated luxury and Maltese coastal charm.
