Bugibba boasts an idyllic promenade lined with a selection of bars, restaurants and cafés to choose from.
MELLIEHA This quiet area in the north of the island is ideal if you’re looking for a relaxed atmosphere. Home to Malta’s longest white sandy beach with great views over the Mediterranean-Sea, this is one of the most peaceful resorts on the island.
QAWRA Located in St. Paul’s Bay, Qawra is a lively resort home to a bustling promenade lined with cafés, restaurants and bars.
