Xara Collection Managing Director Justin Zammit Tabona is celebrating his birthday today (Friday), and the group’s team took to social media to wish him all the best on his special day.

“From all of us at the Xara Collection, we would like to wish Justin, our Managing Director, a very happy birthday,” it said.

In his role, he oversees the management and operations of the collection’s diversified portfolio, which includes high-end hospitality and catering services.

The Zammit Tabona family acquired The Xara Palace in Mdina in 1996, and after three years of restoration, it opened its doors to the public in 1999. That property then became part of the Relais & Châteaux family in 2001.

The collection is now in its second generation, run by Mr Zammit Tabona and Nicola Paris, and its portfolio is made up of The Xara Palace Relais & Châteaux, One Michelin star restaurant de Mondion, Trattoria AD 1530, OKA’s at the Villa, Rosami at The Villa, Xara Catering, Xara Gardens, and The Xara Lodge.
