The Dragonara occupies a nineteenth-century palace built as a summer residence on a promontory at St Julian's, converted to a casino in 1964 — the first on the island. The gaming rooms run through the villa's original halls, with a terrace over the sea.
It is small by international standards and serves Mediterranean tourists, cruise passengers and Malta's large gaming-industry workforce. Maltese residents face a higher minimum age than foreign visitors.
Highlights
- Housed in an 1870s seaside palace
