Buskett Gardens, also known as Buskett Woodlands, is one of Malta’s most peaceful countryside areas and is located around 3.4 km from Point De Vue. It is a popular place for walks, nature, shade and a quieter break away from the busier historic streets of Mdina and Rabat.

For guests staying at Point De Vue, Buskett is a good option for a short countryside outing, especially during cooler months or late afternoon. It offers a different side of Malta, with trees, valley views and a more rural atmosphere close to the island’s historic centre.

History & Heritage

Buskett was planted and developed during the time of the Knights of Malta and is associated with Verdala Palace and the surrounding countryside. It remains one of the island’s best-known wooded areas.
