As one of Malta’s leading diversified group of companies, AX Group has built a legacy of 50 years of excellence across business sectors such as healthcare, hospitality, development, construction, real estate and renewable energy. Renowned for delivering high-quality, innovative projects, the Group continues to shape key sectors in Malta with visionary developments.

One such landmark is AX ODYCY Hotel, a four-star destination in Qawra under the AX Hotels portfolio. This vibrant, year-round resort caters to families, couples, and business travellers alike, offering exceptional experiences. Redeveloped from the iconic Suncrest Hotel, originally built in the 1980s, AX ODYCY underwent a multimillion transformation to enhance Qawra’s appeal as a tourist destination, also aiming to rehabilitate and redevelop the entire area. This initiative seeks to create a pedestrianised experience, enhancing connectivity and public engagement. The project added four storeys to the hotel structure, making it one of Malta’s largest hotels with 600 guestrooms, ranging from family-friendly options to luxurious suites.

The hotel features 11 dining outlets, including fine dining, chic bars, seaside
eateries, and extensive buffet options, alongside five-star amenities such as a panoramic lido, waterpark, kids’ club and conference facilities, ensuring the hotel is a versatile destination for any occasion. 

Spanning 20,000m², the masterplan integrates AX ODYCY, Luzzu Lido, and the soon-to-be-redeveloped AX Sunny Coast Resort & Spa, which will be rebranded to AX ODYCY Residences. This ambitious plan includes the current 600 hotel rooms, 151 residences, themed bars, restaurants, extensive pools, a leisure centre, spa, and a 220-vehicle car park, creating a cohesive destination.

AX ODYCY embodies AX Group’s commitment to innovation, quality and community integration, setting a benchmark
for quality hospitality in Malta.
