Kempinski Hotel San Lawrenz
Kempinski Hotel San Lawrenz Details
Location
Located on the sleepy island of Gozo, Malta's little sister island. The rugged island is covered in lush vegetation with dramatic cliffs. The resort which is low rise and built entirely from Maltese limestone is situated in a valley in the West of the island close to the little village of San Lawrenz. It is close to the coast where you can get to easily using the free shuttle bus which operates throughout the day.
Transfer Time - 90 minutes from Malta airport by car and ferry
Rooms
There are 122 rooms, all of them very spacious and with private balconies. Decorated in a rustic Maltese style with cool limewashed walls. Choose between Superior, Premium and Junior Suites.
Food
Unsurprisingly the main L'Ortolan restaurants offers fresh Mediterranean dishes using fresh local ingredients many from the hotel's own garden. If you are on an Ayurvedic programme, balanced Ayurvedic meals are served to supplement your treatment programme. If you want lighter spa meals, let us know in advance and we can arrange for the chef to talk to you about the best options. If you don't plan to go out and about, we recommend taking a half board option as meals can be quite pricey and add up on your check out bill.
Fitness and Daily Activities
Yoga, pilates and acqua aerobics classes operate weekly at a small cost. Wellbeing Escapes guests on an Ayurvedic programme will have daily yoga classes included in their package. There are tennis and squash courts and a gym with the standard equipment. Ask the concierge to supply you with information on trails around the resort where you can jog or hike and enjoy the spectacular landscape. Bikes are also available for hire with or without a guide!
Other activities
Gozo is known as a good Mediterranean dive spot and the Dive Centre can organise your dives based on your experience. The hotel can also arrange for you to spend a day with a traditional and authentic Gozitan farmer or fisherman, experiencing their way of life and sharing meals with the families.
Insider Tips
- Travel to the even smaller island of Comino - a few minutes by boat - and make your way to the picturesque and famous Blue Lagoon
Holiday insider tips
Wellness Approach
- A large part of the spa is dedicated to Ayurveda with a qualified Ayurvedic Consultant and therapists trained in Kerala, India. Established as one of the best and most authentic Ayurvedic spas in Europe with treatment plans individualised to your personal needs and Ayurvedic constitution. The spa also has a section that specialises in marine treatments, inlcuding massages, balneo baths and vichy water showers in addition to beauty offerings such as facials, manicures & pedicures.
Freestyle Spa
- Steam Room and Sauna in the spa and an indoor heated pool and jacuzzi with a relaxation area.
Signature Treatment
Chavitti Thirummu. A specialist Ayurvedic treatment where herbal medicated oil is applied all over the body and a massage is given with the therapists feet, whilst they hang on a rope. This is an exceptional treatment where you can get the longest sweeping massage stroke, from the tips of your fingers to your toes. Fantastic for spinal correction but can only be applied by a qualified Ayurvedic therapist.
We Love
- The Ayurvedic chef from India who makes individual meals for your dosha as prescribed by the Doctor.
- The Ayurvedia Bath where after a massage and body scrub you soak in a warm bath full of seasonal flowers and herbs.
Return on Investment
Toned and Purified.
Holiday reviews and comments
By Alena Clark, Kent
Thank you for organising this holidays for me. It has been a fantastic week
- exactly what I was looking for. Nice hotel, friendly and attentive staff, tasty fresh food and a very good Spa. Yoga class every morning helped to unwind and Shape Up Spa programme was a true indulgence. I can also recommend trying Auverdic treatments - very unusual & powerful experience.
Wellbeing Escapes did a great job in organising this holiday for me and I will definitely use them again for planning my next pampering gateway.

I went to the Kempinski in Gozo in very early May and it was clearly pre-season. The hotel was blissfully quiet, I was immediately upgraded and all the staff addressed me by name - which was impressive. However on the down side it meant that only one of the three restaurants was open, the pool bar was closed and the outdoor pools were arctic.
The spa and gym have been refurbished over the winter and were both well equipped and comfortable. I made full use of all the facilities with yoga classes by the pool in the morning, sessions with the personal trainer in the gym and then my treatments were scheduled in the late afternoon. The Therapists were excellent, well planned over the five days, and I particularly enjoyed the reflexology.
It was an ideal holiday to take on your own - though being on full board and with only one restaurant open, I was bored of the food after the fifth night.
I came home relaxed and refreshed and would definitely book through Wellbeing Escapes again.

Just wanted to say that I absolutely loved my break it and it was worth every penny.Without doubt one of the most pleasant places I have stayed and the staff were lovely. All the treatments were fabulous and everything went really smoothly. I booked half board and went with the healthy menu option for dinner and it was fantastic. Three courses every night and really interesting food so you didn't feel as though you were missing out on anything.
Thank you so much again for organising for me and I will no doubt be in touch again when I next feel like pampering myself - which is likely to be sooner rather than later!
