About Naxxar

If you’re looking for a quieter base you might consider Naxxar, which is a stately, old town on the main island’s northern coastline.  It’s charmingly off the main tourist trails, and rather residential, but has a really impressive ancient heart, with a large square and an impressive church.  The best places to stay in Naxxar are all boutique, intimate guesthouses.

Things not to miss:

  • Built in the 17th century, the town is set around the Naxxar parish church.
  • The nearby coastline has a host of lovely beaches that are great for relaxing as well as snorkelling.
  • Because of its strategic importance, Naxxar has a number of historic fortifications that are worth visiting such as Gauci Tower and Captain's Tower.
  • Throughout the town, there are numerous historic palaces such as Palazzo Parisio and Palazzo Nasciaro.

Our selection of the best places to stay in Naxxar are fairly well spread throughout the town and tend to be small, family-run affairs.
