About

If you are looking for the postcard Malta—turquoise water and golden sand—you must head North. For this week, we skipped the concrete chaos of Sliema to take you to Mellieħa, a picturesque village perched on a hill overlooking the island's largest bay. You will stay at Hotel VIU57, a modern property with a panoramic pool. Beyond relaxation, we included tickets to Popeye Village: born as a movie set, it is now an iconic spot nestled in the stunning Anchor Bay.

Included Services

Flights: Direct round-trip with WizzAir from Rome to Malta.
Transfers: Shared shuttle transfer airport/hotel and vice versa.
7-Night Stay:
Accommodation at Hotel VIU57 (Mellieħa).
Double Room City View with breakfast included.
Activity: Entrance tickets to Popeye Village (June 18).

Recommended by GB World consultants because

Malta is rocky; the few sandy beaches are almost all in the North (Golden Bay, Ghadira). Staying in Mellieħa means being the first to hit the beach, avoiding the morning traffic that blocks those coming from the central island.
Don't underestimate it. This 1980 movie set is located in one of Malta's most beautiful and sheltered bays (Anchor Bay). The included ticket lets you not only visit the set but swim in spectacular emerald waters with a world-unique view.
Mellieħa is hilly. Hotel VIU57 offers a dominant position with open views of the horizon and the monumental parish church, offering a superior visual experience compared to hotels tucked in narrow alleys.
