A modern well appointed apartment with breath taking views. Featuring highend tech and up market furnishings together with an infinity pool which make this apartment stand out from other apartments on the island. Communication throughout was excellent and we were grateful of the tips and local insights.
The town of Xgħajra is incredibly charming - quiet and relaxed - where locals sit out of an evening on the promenade and watch the world go by. Like stepping back in time. El Catalan is a great restaurant close to the apartment (the only one in the town) and serves excellent Maltese dishes and wines. Joe Joes bar is below the apartment but it closes at 11 and not loud when open. There is also a fish and chip shop close by where the fish is locally caught. Less than 10 minutes walk is the modern ‘Smart City’ with a selection of restaurants, bars and a cafe. Great place for cocktails is the Londoner - and wait for the fountains to start.
Well worth a visit is the coastal town of Marsakala - it’s a 1/2 hour walk along the coastal path and well worth checking out - head along at dawn for an amazing sunrise and then dive straight into the harbour with the locals for snorkelling. Or head over at sundown and take in one of the bars or restaurants that line the harbour with traditional Maltese fishing boats nestled amongst the yachts.
Well worth downloading the Bolt app - like Uber for Malta - always on time - good value and really friendly and insightful. Also note that GoTo e-car parking bay outside the apartment. You can hire a car my the minute or hour - but there’s an option of €42 which gives you up to 7 hours of driving for up to 14 days - which is more than you’ll need to get to and from the supermarkets (Lidl, Chain, Scotts). There is a bus stop opposite the apartment - the 94 goes straight to Valetta and the 120 goes to Pembroke. Cheap and reliable.
Highly recommend for a relaxing stay in a charming seaside town.
