Hotels in Malta

Where do we even begin with Malta hotels? You’ll find everything from sweeping beach resorts to great no-frills bases here. Whether you’re after a chic harbourfront boutique in Valletta, a family-friendly resort packed with splashy pools in Mellieha, or a romantic hideaway perched above the sparkling Blue Lagoon, Malta has hotels to suit every traveller’s vibe. Think rooftop bars with killer views, local charm around every corner, and enough variety to keep everyone-from beach bums to history buffs-grinning from ear to ear. This is island living at its best, and the perfect base for your next adventure.

Malta Hotels

Undecided about which hotel is right for you? We've got a tonne of options ready to take you from sofa to seafront in a jiffy. Whether you're travelling with the whole fam, or you and the other half have managed to bag some annual leave at the same time, Malta has a hotel for you. You'll be building sandcastles on the beach or walking hand in hand down cobbled streets in no time...

Beaches

If you want sun, sea and sand, then the aptly named Golden Bay is a great choice of beach. Found to the northeast of the mainland, this golden crescent is a fabulous all-rounder. Beachside dining, sun loungers and gently-shelving water is the name of the game here. There’s even a diving and watersports centre nearby if you’re feeling adventurous.

If you like to beach-hop, you can’t go wrong with the popular and beautiful Mellieha Bay. It’s hardly a surprise this twinkling gem is such a hit – not only is it the longest beach on the island, but it’s also one of the best for family holidays. Gentle blue waters, soft silvery sands and plenty of exciting watersports that the whole gang will get on board with. Plus, this tourist-friendly favourite is lined with plenty of seafront cafes, beach bars and open-air eateries, so you can dine alfresco for your lunchtime fix, or enjoy a refreshing ice cream in the afternoon sunshine.

But for a more scenic and secluded spot, head to the Blue Flag Ghajn Tuffieha bay. A small yet mighty cove boasting vast ocean views and sheltered shrub-covered hills hugging either side – this dinky stretch of sand offers a more private take on Malta beach life.

Fancy curating the perfect vacay Insta-feed? Make for the Blue Lagoon on Comino. Its water is so clear it’ll make bottled water look murky, and the snorkelling here is next-level. Paradise Bay is another little stunner – small but, well, paradise by name and by nature. And don’t miss Ramla Bay over on Gozo, with its rare red-golden sand that looks like something straight out of a travel brochure. Basically, if you pack more swimsuits than outfits, you’re doing Malta right. And the best bit? Nowhere’s ever too far away. Malta’s compact size means you can tick off multiple beaches in one trip – golden sands in the morning, hidden coves by the afternoon, and a sundowner swim to finish. That’s what we call top-tier beach-hopping.

Why Malta Hotels Are a Win

Here’s the thing – Malta hotels just make sense. You’ve got short flight times (around three hours from the UK, so no stiff legs or six in-flight films to get through), sunshine pretty much guaranteed, and hotels to suit every kind of holidaymaker.

Travelling with the fam? There are resorts with splash parks, kids’ clubs and big sandy beaches right on your doorstep. Going for a mates’ escape? Pick a base near St. Julian’s or St. Paul’s Bay and you’re laughing. After something a bit boujee? Spa hotels, rooftop infinity pools and harbour-view suites are ready and waiting. And if you’re all about stretching the pennies, Malta’s no-frills stays and wallet-friendly packages mean you can save your cash for boat trips and beachside cocktails.

Oh, and bonus points – English is widely spoken, buses are cheap and easy, and island-hopping to Gozo or Comino is as simple as hopping on a ferry. Basically, Malta ticks all the boxes without rinsing your holiday fund. Short hop, top-tier hotels, and sunshine that keeps on giving – what’s not to love?
