Montekristo Palace

Montekristo Palace is an eclectic Maltese manor estate that has evolved into an expansive leisure complex encompassing a free-entry animal park, an equestrian arena, multiple bars, restaurants, cafeterias, and event venues. The ornate gardens and replicated architectural features give the grounds a theatrical, fairytale quality that draws families, wedding parties, and day-trippers alike. The Rare Gastropub on site draws particular praise for solid food at reasonable prices — a full day here is easily spent moving between the animals, the gardens, and the various hospitality venues.
