Beaches in Malta

Malta is a paradise country that is traditionally considered one of the most visited in summer. Read on to find out which locations are most often chosen by tourists.

General information

The country has no land borders and is considered one of the smallest states in Europe. Its closest neighbors are Italy and Tunisia. It is dominated by numerous stone slopes, and there are no rivers or lakes.

The climate is Mediterranean, without stifling heat. The air temperature ranges from 28°C to 35°C. The season begins in May and ends in October.

Marsaskala

This cozy town is famous for its beautiful views and tranquil atmosphere. There are no lively and noisy parties here. The main beach is St. Thomas Bay. Here you can go kayaking, SUP-boarding, and scuba diving. It is also a favorite spot for locals. In the evening, you can often meet couples and groups of friends here.

Keep in mind that the location is far from tourist spots. Therefore, you should not rely on public transportation. It is better to rent a car.

Hotel prices range from €695 and above for 5 days for 2 people. Apartments will cost from €551.

Mellieħa 

The resort village in the north of Malta is known for its long sandy beach Mellieħa Bay. It has all the conditions for a family vacation, with numerous restaurants, cafes and playgrounds. Travelers can go windsurfing and parasailing.

We recommend going to Ghadira Bay, where you can comfortably relax with your kids. The shoal stretches for a kilometer and a half. You can also rent a deck chair and umbrella here. If you are looking for peace and solitude, head to Imġiebaħ Beach. This place is ideal for camping, barbecues and parties.

A 5-minute drive from the province, Ċirkewwa, ferries depart to the two islands of Malta:

  • Gozo. It is a paradise with a well-developed transportation system. In the capital Victoria, be sure to visit the Citadel. It is located on top of a hill, offering incredible views of the surrounding area. The fortress is home to the Cathedral, the Museum and the Old Prison. Interesting fact: the famous TV series Game of Thrones was filmed in Dwejra Bay.
  • Comino. An ideal place for snorkeling enthusiasts. The best time to relax is early in the morning before the first ferry arrives, or late in the evening when it's not so crowded. Here you can find accommodation for every taste. A triple deluxe room will cost €770 for 5 nights for 2 adults. A deluxe room with a sea view will cost €1,335.

Sliema

The center of shopping and leisure in Malta. It is also the main residential and shopping areas, which are densely dotted with hotels. It's hard to believe that this was once a quiet fishing village.

The tourist season in Sliema lasts all year round. The main beach in the city is Qui-Si-Sana Beach. It attracts travelers with its rocky coastline. There is no sand and a gentle entry into the water, but there are convenient descents. Numerous cafes and bars have been built here, along with sun loungers and umbrellas. By the way, local establishments often develop various promotional offers. For example, you can buy a drink and get a free snack.

Prices for hotel accommodation range from €575 for 2 people for 5 days. Many facilities offer a shuttle service - a free taxi from the airport.

Buġibba

The town is located in the north of the country and shares a cape with the Qawra resort. The coast is mostly rocky, with beaches in separate bays.

For diving enthusiasts, nature has created ideal conditions here - crystal water with a rich underwater world. The location is perfect for a family trip with children, as the entrance to the sea is gentle.

Keep in mind that Buġibba wakes up only in the evening. It is at this time that nightclubs and bars start working. The transport interchange is well developed, so you can get from here by bus to any part of the city.

A one-bedroom apartment will cost €661 for two people for 5 days. A superior room costs €450.
