Although Malta is a very small country, the question of where to stay depends on what you mainly want to experience during your stay.
Valletta
Valletta, the capital of Malta is in our opinion the best place to book your accommodation. Here you have numerous sights, a variety of restaurants and bars and also a small city beach to refresh yourself in the cool water from the summer heat.
St. Julian’s & Paceville
St. Julian’s with its associated neighborhood Paceville is the ideal place if you are mainly looking for long party nights. This is where young people gather and party into the morning. Besides, here you also have many restaurants to fill your stomach and a small sandy beach for some relaxing.
Mellieħa
The ideal destination if you are mainly looking for relaxation and want to be close to the most beautiful places on the main island of Malta. From here you can enjoy some sun at Mellieha Bay or Ghadira Bay in the immediate vicinity. On the opposite side of the island and about 30 minutes away by bus you will find other beautiful sandy beaches, namely Golden Bay and Ghajn Tuffieha Bay.
From Mellieħa you can also travel more easily to the two other islands of Malta, Gozo and Comino.
Gozo
Although most visitors to Malta tend to visit the second largest island of Gozo as a day trip, you can also spend more time here. For a stay we would recommend the capital city Victoria or Nadur. From here you can visit all the beautiful sights of this island and enjoy the stunning beaches of San Blas Beach and especially Ramla Bay.
The bonus here is that the island of Comino is also very close and definitely worth a visit.
