Ta’ Mena Estate is owned by the Spiteri family and was founded by their late mother Carmela, popularly known as Mena, and her late husband Frank who together worked hard to purchase and cultivate the land.

Mena passed away in April 1986 but her husband continued to take care of the estate and operate the fruit shop.

In 2002 the Spiteri Family decided to regenerate the two hectares of agricultural land which used to be a fruit and vegetable garden, thus realising their late parents’ dream of integrating agriculture with tourism so that one sector sustains the other. Today more land has been added to the estate which now covers around twenty five hectares.
