Business Meets Leisure: Conference & Business Facilities at AX ODYCY
In today’s fast-paced world, the lines between business and leisure are increasingly blurred. This evolution has given rise to a growing trend in the travel industry: "bleisure," a fusion of business and leisure that allows professionals to seamlessly combine work and relaxation during their travels. With this shift, business travellers are seeking destinations that not only cater to their professional needs but also provide a space for unwinding after a day of meetings and presentations.
At AX ODYCY Hotel in Qawra, Malta, we understand this trend and have curated an environment that caters specifically to the modern business traveller. Here, work meets relaxation in a stunning seaside setting. AX ODYCY offers an array of modern conference and business facilities, while also ensuring ample opportunities for relaxation and recreation, making it the perfect destination for professionals who seek a balanced and enriching business trip.
Tailored Conference and Meeting Facilities
For business travellers, the right environment can make all the difference. Whether you're hosting a large conference or a small, focus meeting, AX ODYCY offers a range of flexible event spaces designed to accommodate various needs. Our conference rooms are fully equipped with the latest technology, including Wi-Fi, audiovisual equipment, and customizable seating arrangements to foster productive collaboration.
Each of our meeting rooms has ample natural lighting, offering a refreshing and uplifting atmosphere that enhances creativity and engagement. Additionally, our professional event coordinators are on hand to ensure that every detail of your conference or meeting is seamless, from the moment you arrive to the closing remarks.
For larger events, AX ODYCY's main conference space, Poseidon Hall, is a premier choice, boasting the capacity to host up to 400 attendees. Its modern design and adaptable layout make it suitable for a variety of events, including corporate seminars, workshops, and product launches.
Relaxation at Its Finest: Adults-Only Areas
After a productive day of meetings, business travellers deserve a break. AX ODYCY recognizes the importance of downtime and offers several adults-only spaces that allow you to unwind in a peaceful, luxurious setting. Our Minoa restaurant, located on Level 11, serves as the perfect post-work retreat, offering a sophisticated Mediterranean fusion menu in an welcoming setting, perfect for client dinners, team bonding, or even just a solo dinner.
For those who prefer a more laid-back atmosphere, our Medusa sky bar on Level 10 provides the perfect spot for an evening cocktail while humming to the tunes spun by the DJ. The bar is adults-only, allowing business travellers to enjoy the end of a long day with a premium cocktail in hand.
Business travellers can also take advantage of the hotel’s fitness centre or book a rejuvenating spa treatment, ensuring that both mind and body are recharged for the next day’s meetings.
The Rise of Bleisure Travel: A Growing Trend
The travel industry is witnessing a significant rise in the demand for “bleisure” experiences. Business travellers are increasingly extending their work trips to explore the local culture, enjoy leisure activities, and take time to relax. This shift is influencing how hotels and conference centres around the world are designed and operated.
As companies recognize the importance of employee well-being and work-life balance, they are more open to offering flexible travel arrangements. In return, professionals seek destinations where they can mix business with pleasure, creating memorable experiences that go beyond the boardroom.
