The Island of Malta region
Malta is just 17.5 mls long x 8.5mls wide, but visitors always find the RANGE OF ACTIVITIES UNBELIEVABLE !! Malta is a great holiday destination with hot balmy summers and great beaches to enjoy them on! Beaches are public and well taken care of by Lidos that provide a huge range of rental equipment (banana boat rides, para kiting, jet ski, scuba diving) and a diversity of activities (night cruises,quad rides,jeep safaris,fishing trips, island bus tours).
POPULAR BAYS within easy reach from our apartment are : MISTRA BAY - 2KM away (no bus service) Quiet and still unknown to tourists, Mistra has a pebbly beach, is great for swimming and fishing and has a single restaurant (seafront and good food). PARADISE BAY -1KM (no bus service) small but very scenic, great sandy beach. ARMIER BAY - 2KM well taken care of by RAY's LIDO which does an unusual line in JET SKI SAFARIS :) Accessible by bus - a ride of 5 mins! GOLDEN BAY - 6KM accessible by direct bus service. huge lovely sandy bay but be careful of the currents! The cafe turns into a very romantic restaurant by night! and of course, the ISLANDS OF GOZO and COMMINO can be quickly reached by boat or ferry 120m-1/2km away
For comfort and relaxation - SPAS and BON VIVANT CAFES/ RESTAURNTSabound :) The SOLANA HOTEL in Mellieha does a great buffet breakfast , open to non residents for 5euro pp. Newly refurbished, the Solana also offers a good range of spa and wellness therapies. A top notch restaurant in Mellieha's main road is 'THE ARCHES' - 700m. Wonderful meals, great wine list! Sea edge is the RIU SEABANK hotel complex. 3 differnet restaurants including a children's playarea, Jungle theme restaurnat, bowling alley, internet cafe and a restaurant with nightly entertainment in summer.
The RIVIERA RESORT 1km away and easily reached by bus, has a wonderful spa - The ELYSIUM The 'Riviera' has several eateries - pizzeria, cafe, 2 restaurants - all enjoying gorgeous sea views. Sundays (not in July-Sept) the restaurant does a marvellous Buffet Lunch.
POPEYE VILLAGE is a must for children :) 700m distant from the apartment,there is a direct bus service in summer from the sandy beach of Ghadira to the village. A swimming pool, quad rides, theme park and year round activities make this complex a firm favourite. MEDITERRANEO WATER PARK 7km makes for a great day out for all the family. The water park is next door to a Dolphinarium with shows held daily. For brave souls, it is also possible to arrange to SWIM WITH THE DOLPHINS :)
Two PADI certified DIVING SCHOOLS in the vicinity. One is 30m away, the other is in Mellieha Village, 700m distant. DARE TO DO SOMETHING DIFFERNT THIS SUMMER! TRY A DIVING LESSOR OR TWO :)
In winter temperatures hardly ever falling below 10degrees making it a great time to take advantage of country pursuits such as clay pigeon shooting , archery, guided rambles around our lovely countryside or treat yourself to alittle luxury with Wellness and Spa treatments offered all over the island, on going concerts and operas, Fireworks Spectacular shows from as early as April 2009 and fine cuisine in every little village :)
The Maltese Islands offer an exhilarating contrast of colours: clear blue skies and the azure of the Mediterranean with the mellow honey-coloured limestone which characterises the architecture. Have a welcome break on our lovely little Island !
Mellieha / Ghadira Bay area
Located in Mellieha Valley,the apartment is bright & spacious :) On the third floor (served with lift) you will enjoy views of Mellieha's terraced fields from the SUNNY TERRACE and from the Kitchen/Living Area.Two of the BEDROOMS enjoy RELAXING SEAVIEWS of the blue Mediterranean :) At night its lovely to go to sleep to the sound of the waves! 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, views from most rooms and fully equipped with your comfort in mind :) Rocky beach 50m & safe,sandy beach 100m- safe because there are no undertows. A well stocked MINI MARKET is 20m away (overseas newspapers supplied).Al fresco cafes, restaurants and facilities start 20m from the apartment.There are plenty of activities, tours, cruises and experiences that you can book directly from Ghadira Bay within 7minutes walk from the apartment. Ghadira Bay is an exceedingly popular bay with locals and tourists alike . The location is wonderfully calming with sandy beach on one side and Mellieha's green terraced fields on the other :) It is predominantly family holiday turf , attractions are numerous (trips to Gozo& Commino, diving lessons,Popeye Village, boat cruises, plane trips)and buses run regularly from Ghadira to several other touristic villages throughout the summer months. A hive of activity in summer, Ghadira Bay remains cut off from the noisier aspects of tourist nightlife (karaoke /disco music) and at night it is pleasantly quiet and tranquil in my apartment even at the height of summer. In winter it is the ideal place for a walking holiday, absorbing the fresh sea air and tranquil surroundings, enjoying the spas available in the vicinity and the excellent cuisine of two of Malta's finest restaurants located in Mellieha Village. Spacious, comfortable, airy and sunny the apartment is a great place to spend a holiday :)
How to get there
The island's national airline AirMalta offers worldwide flights and Malta is on most major airline's routes. Easyjet and Ryan Air both offer value-for-money flights to Malta.
Directions from Airport: Follow signs to Gozo, keep driving straight past Qawra and Bugibba area. Once you arrive at St.Paul's Bay you will see signs to Mellieha.
In Malta we drive on the LEFT and car hire is a good idea if you wish to spend some of your holiday exploring the island. Despite its small size, Malta offers a wide and varied range of entertainment in addition to being a treasure trove of historical relics - notably the Hypogeum, Mnajdra Temples and (in Gozo) Ggantija Temples.
The bus service in Malta is quite reliable and extensive but on the island sister of Gozo, the bus schedule is sparse.

Guestbook for Mellieha Bay Apartments
We enjoyed our holiday immensely; the tranquillity and easy pace of life, the warmth of the Maltese people, not to mention the wonderful weather. The apartment was most comfortable and spacious, and delightfully cool even in the heat of the day, whilst the veranda enabled us to “people watch” and take in the atmosphere of the island at our ease. Blair, UK, Sept 2009
We would very much like to return some time in the future and when we do we can assure you that your apartment will be our first choice of “home from home”.
Marvellous apartment ! I'm Australian and often come to Malta. I love mellieha but apartments here always seem to have the most horrific uphill to their front door! This apartment is on the flat of the main road, so no nasty hills to deal with when you're coming back tired from the sea. Spacious too, we were a family of 4 and the children loved the enormity of it. Our kids enjoyed horse riding (pick up arranged by our wonderfully kind hostess), scuba diving with a dive school 60m behind the apartment, bowling at the Riu Sea Bank ten mins down the road and they loved having the internet cafe next door-meant they could keep in touch with their friends back home.Bus service is regular and frequent and buses stop just feet from the apartment so its ideal for touring by bus and we felt safe enough to let the girls go off on their own bus trips once or twice. Can't praise this place enough- Sheila keeps her rates very reasonable , very few flats have views in all rooms. The sea views from the bedrooms are great to wake up to and the sound of the sea really is soothing to hear of an evenin. Idyllic. Will definitely be booking ahead to ensure reservation - thanks Sheila! May C. - Australia, Mar09
The apartment is large and very well equipped. It is located in an area of Malta which remains calm (we went there in December). It is very close to the beach and not far from some bars and restaurants, which was perfect because we went everywhere on foot!" Marie-Lise R, Italy , Dec2008
"la proprietaria è una persona molto cortese e atenta alle esigenze degli affittuari il contesto è il migliore per una vacaza a malta per una famiglia con bambini" Mr Gianni R. - Italy, July 2008
"I would like to thank you for all the information and facilities you gave to us, and the apartment was great! we spent all time visiting the island and we had a lovely holidays there in Malta." Mr Manuel P. -Spain, July 2008
"El apartamento excellente y fiel a la descripción:limpieza, entorno, vistas, facilidad de acceso,equipamiento, pero a resaltar sobre todo la AMABILIDAD y el ENCANTO de Sheila, la propietaria, que nos hizo la estancia mucho mas agradable con todas sus atenciones." Mrs Karmele B. - Spain,August 2008
The dwelling is generously and very wonderfully furnished. We found it very cleanly and maintained. Bedlinen and towels are present in generous number. In addition we found also some, which practically, but is not usual e.g. detergent, basic food for the first day, books in large number, dvds. The dwelling is suitable well for families with children. - The landlady was extremely helpfully and extraordinarily anxious around the well-being of the guests. We felt an unusually large readiness to enter requests and needs and pass information on. Delivery and assumption of the dwelling functioned very reliably. - The situation of the dwelling is well suitable both for stays at the beach and for trips: The beach of Mellieha is easy to reach by foot. Most objects of interest and the well-known sand beaches in the environment can be likewise very well achieved with the car. In the proximity is the ferry going to Gozo and buses to La Valetta and/or direction Gozo . " Mr & Mrs Gehrig - Switzerland, August 2008
"A wonderful apartment - the photos don't do it justice" Ms. Rachel Davies - Cornwall, Septmeber 2008
"L'appartamento è grande e molto carino. Due camere hanno vista mare e la sera si sente il rumore lontano delle onde! Molto comodo anche il fatto di avere due bagni! Inoltre il centro della cittadina è molto vicino e lì si trovano negozi, ristoranti e ogni genere di servizi. La cosa però più importante è che i padroni di casa sono molto gentili e disponobili...delle persone davvero deliziose!" Ms. Alessandra O.- Italy, August 2008
'Your rooms are arranged with love and very good taste.' Mr & Mrs Pfitzer - Germany, September 2008
Very well located apartment, near the beach and with good communication of bus. With terrace, kitchen, 3 bedrooms and 2 baths, sunny, good views to the town and the sea. Although the best thing has been the amiability and the affection with which it has received us and treated by Sheila owner, there at any moment of our benefit and comfort during our vacations in Malta." Mr J.Felix - Sunny Spain, Aug2008
One does not realize very well with the photographs but this apartment is particularly vast. It very well is equipped and located on the 3rd floor . Sheila, the owner is particularly accessible and makes any possible assistance so that its tenants pass the most pleasant possible stay. We appreciated not to be downtown full and we had a magic of our week. As indicated in l' announces, there are with 50m restaurants, a mini-market and the stopping of the buses (Valetta with 45mn for 0,58€!). In short, a very advisable address! " Mrs Therese C - France, Nov 2008
Wonderful terrace! with three young children we enjoyed the days of sunshine here in Malta and ate out on the terrace at every possible occassion. Lovely play area for the children just up the road behing the mellieha church. weather quite good for January. Mr Colombo P - Italy, Jan2009
