◆ OUR PHILOSOPHY ◆
Beaconteamhang celebrates Malta's two crown casino jewels — Dragonara Casino inside the historic Dragonara Palace at The Westin Dragonara Resort, and the Casino at Portomaso adjacent to Hilton Malta. Both properties define what European luxury gaming looks like in the 21st century.
From the limestone arches of a 19th-century summer palace once owned by the Marquis Emmanuele Scicluna, to the gleaming Portomaso tower rising above one of the Mediterranean's most exclusive marinas — this is Malta at its most refined.
◆ TIMELINE ◆
The Dragonara Palace is constructed as a summer residence for the wealthy banker Marquis Emmanuele Scicluna on the rocky promontory of St Julian's.
The palace becomes Malta's first licensed casino — and remains the most iconic gaming venue on the island to this day.
The Portomaso complex develops alongside Hilton Malta, introducing European-style luxury gaming and the now-legendary Battle of Malta poker series.
Both venues operate 24-hour gaming floors with hundreds of slots, live tables, and dedicated VIP rooms — under the Malta Gaming Authority.
◆ MALTA GAMING CULTURE ◆
Malta is one of Europe's most respected gaming jurisdictions, with the Malta Gaming Authority setting the standard for safety and fairness.
Where else can you play roulette steps from the sea, then watch the sun rise over Sliema Bay from your suite?
The Battle of Malta at Portomaso is one of the largest poker tournaments on the continent, drawing thousands annually.
St Julian's and Paceville never sleep — gaming, dining and nightlife flow seamlessly from dusk to dawn.
