Kempinski Hotel San Lawrenz, Gozo

Set in beautiful countryside, the Kempinski Hotel San Lawrenz wraps itself around an oasis of lush gardens and peaceful pools. The hotel and spacious guestrooms are decorated in traditional Mediterranean hues while outside, the grounds are full of aromatic herbs, ripe fruits and vegetables for the chefs to harvest, conjuring up deliciously fresh and flavoursome dishes. Enjoy an antipasta platter at La Caverna Wine Bar, or a drink on the west-facing terrace of the Bar Il-Baldakkin, a year-round sun trap that affords magnificent sunset views. The spa experience here is a unique combination of treatments, from hammam to Indian Ayurveda experiences. Indulge in a relaxing almond oil body massage using hot stones, surely the ultimate luxury Mediterranean therapy, or try a personalised programme. With a wealth of activities and an island to explore, the helpful staff will point out the hidden beaches and secret caves where you can swim in clear Mediterranean waters. Perhaps sample Gozo's famous dive sites - the hotel's dive school caters for both experts and beginners - visit archaeological sites, or, if it all sounds too hectic, simply relax by the hotel pool with a complimentary iced tea or a delicious fruity cocktail.
