Cheap Why go to Mellieha?

For an authentic taste of laidback Maltese life, head to this beautiful hilltop village on Malta's northern coast.

Mellieha holidays marry the best of white sand beaches, stunning buildings, great food and sites of interest. In short, this tiny village really packs a punch!

Few holidays invite you to unwind quite like a Mellieha holiday, with its sleepy vibe and local feel, you can’t help but adapt to the quiet pace of life here.

Wander the narrow streets of the hillside town, which is about twenty minutes walking from the bay. Here, you’ll find a smattering of churches, alongside restaurants, bars and shops. And let’s not forget the breathtaking view of the coast.

Home to one of just several beaches on the island of Malta , Mellieha holidays can be whiled away in a sun lounger. Set in a sheltered bay, there’s a great choice of water sports to choose from.

For those with itchier feet, day trips to Mdina and Valletta are easy. The former offers an insight into ancient Malta, with the oldest surviving buildings date back to the 11th century.
