The db Group has grown from a family-run business into Malta’s foremost corporate player in the tourism, hospitality & leisure sector, and beyond.

In the 1980s, Silvio Debono, the Group’s founder, operated a small guesthouse. Today, as db Group Chairman, he sits at the helm of
the largest operation in Malta.

Over the last four decades the Group has forged strategic relationships with a range of global players including Hard Rock Café International, Starbucks, the Accor Hotel Group, and RIU Hotels & Resorts. As a result, we accumulated invaluable business acumen and operational experience. 

This track record has enabled us to establish our very own unique brand, db Hotels + Resorts, driven by the fundamental principle of excellence in everything we do. Year-on-year, the Group won a number of prestigious global awards, positioning it at the forefront of the Maltese hospitality and catering industry.

In due course, and prudently, the Group diversified its core operations, taking in contract catering, healthcare, and property development under its wing.
