Dining takes place in several on-site restaurants. Il Carubo is set in a shady courtyard under a centuries-old carob tree and serves Mediterranean and Gozitan dishes using fresh local ingredients. Il Terrazzo offers lighter meals and snacks with views over the countryside and cliffs. During the warmer months, guests can also enjoy meals at the Kantra Lido, a seasonal cliffside restaurant near the hotel’s private rocky beach.
