Kempinski Hotel San Lawrenz opened in 1999 and in 2024 marked its 25th anniversary on Gozo. The hotel is the island’s only international luxury brand and was conceived as a hideaway resort set amid 30,000 square metres of semi-tropical gardens near Dwejra Bay. Its design emphasizes local yellow limestone and wooden interiors, and the property has become known for its spa and Ayurveda offering as well as its multi-venue dining. Kempinski’s official materials and Forbes Travel Guide both describe it as a long-established flagship luxury retreat on Gozo.
