Hotel Ta Cenc

Couples looking for an idyllic rustic retreat in Malta for a honeymoon haven or a delightful wedding in an absolutely stunning location need look  no further than Hotel Ta Cenc, a truly romantic hotel on the Maltese island of Gozo.

Gozo, or Ghawdex as the locals call it, is the second largest island in the Maltese archipelago and perhaps the most beautiful one. This oval shaped island is only 70 square kilometres in size but behind every one of its honeycomb of hills, a variety of magnificent vistas unfolds – all of which make a stunning backdrop to wedding and honeymoon photographs!

Nestled within a Natura 2000 site, the Hotel Ta’ Cenc & Spa takes its guests back to nature, encouraging them to explore and enjoy their surroundings while still sensing the soothing ambiance that awaits them back at base. The hotel is literally at one with nature, spread over a staggering 1.5m sqm of idyllic countryside very rich in flora and fauna.

The spacious airy rooms, some built in the Trullo style, are decorated in understated elegance. The colours echo the hues of the setting sun on the magnificent limestone cliffs and the wild thyme that covers the surrounding garrigue. Each room has its own cosy garden or separate porch, where one can relax in privacy while enjoying stunning views.
