If, like us, you like a bit of a quieter stay and prefer enjoying the natural beauty, then this is definitely the place for you. Mellieha / Ghadira Bay is very pretty and Bill’s apartment has a super view from the balcony. It is perfectly situated in the north of the island with lots of beautiful bays, hikes and caves etc to visit. Also, perfect for Gozo and Camino.
Of course, Malta is a small island so everything else is very easy to visit. We hired a car (although the buses are very good), and we were able to always park very easily at the apartment (in April).
There are some lovely bars nearby (sunset cocktails at blu bar being a favourite) and the town of Mellieha is close enough for more choice and for the better supermarket (Welbees).
Bill kindly provided a few items in the fridge for our arrival. The apartment was clean, and had most items. Beach towels were a super bonus too.
Definitely recommend!!
