Mellieha Beach is one of the best sandy beaches on Malta. It is located at northern part of the Malta in the Mellieha Bay just bellow the Mellieha village… Mellieha Beach is very popular during the tourist season and it is often very crowded.

One of the reasons for the popularity is close proximity of the Malta capital Valleta. It is just 40 minutes far by car, airport is on similar distance.

Azure color of the sea and white sand are also characteristics of this beach. Beach has excellent facilities like nearby hotel, lots of villas available for rent, public showers and toilets, enough cafes and restaurants, so as nearby shops where you can get cold ice cream while getting the hot Mediterranean sun. Local wines and olive oils are especially good.

Above the Mellieha Beach is village Mellieha. Since it is located on the top of the cliffs it offers magnificent sceneries and sea views. This location is often used for filming in various movies and it is subject of many online photographs…
Besides being the best Malta beach, some of the next best Malta beaches such as Ghajn Tuffieha Bay and Golden Bay are near this one…
