Upmarket Ta'Ċenċ hides in 160 hectares on a remote cliff-top plateau just east of Sannat. Built out of local stone, the simple, stylish rooms are housed in trulli (cone-shaped buildings). There are landscaped gardens, two outdoor pools and, around 3km away, a rocky private beach with a spectacularly located restaurant. Spa and beauty-therapy services are available at the hotel.
