Beautiful beaches, quiet and relaxed destination
Con
A lot of traffic on the main street
In a nutshell
A idyllic village but not the place to stay for long. Better to visit for the beach!
Bigs Says: Near the both churches you find the Mellieha shelters. As Malta was bombed heavily in World War two you will find many of those shelters on the island. I found it quite interresting to get an imagination of the life during long air raids. As to make it more real there is the...
Alex_71 Says: From Mellieha you can easily reach some of the most beautiful places of the isle of Malta. In 10-15 minutes on foot, going down hill, you reach Mellieha bay (known also as Ghadira bay). In Mellieah bay you can, if you want just have your towel and stay on the sun or, (as i...
tophat30 Says: If one happens to be in the area of Mellieha, or even maybe on the way to Gozo, one should pay a visit to the sanctuary that is stuffed with history and tradition. Inside, one can admire various works of art like icons, frescoes and oil paintings on the side altars, (17th...
SandiMandi Says: Built in 1647 and standing on Marfa Ridge the red tower used to be a lookout post for the Maltese knights. We tried to walk up to the tower one day, but it was way too far and the weather was way too hot, so we had to give up. So I only got photos of the tower from a far,...
SandiMandi Says: This is where the Popeye Village is situated (see my previous tip). Opposite the film set are these great steep rocks as seen in the pic.I wasn't too keen on seeing the Popeye Village, but I'm glad we went there, otherwise I would've missed these spectacular views!
SandiMandi Says: Sweethaven Village or Popeye Village as it's also known is a film set of the 1980 Hollywood musical “Popeye”, starring Robin Williams. It was constructed in Anchor Bay during the last 7 months of 1979. Nowadays the film set has turned into a fun park for children. We didn't...
SandiMandi Says: Mellieha church (or Church of Our Lady of Victory) was built in late 19th century and is located in the middle of Mellieha along the main road on the edge of a steep hill. The location makes it a good landmark.It's worth climbing up the hill as you'll see the whole Mellieha...
SLarke Says: A beautiful beach, crystal clear waters, loungers & parasols, a friendly bar (the only place in Malta that can make a frappe) & a good restaurant. This is paradise - civilised.We love beaches & spend all our holidays seeking out new & better spots. This ranks highly, just...

Classic73 Says: A cozy little restaurant with an Italian air, Giuseppi's was recommended on the net, and (luckily!) my wife and I decided to give it a chance. Besides the set menu, the restaurant offers an assortment of chef's specials - a lot, actually! My hat's off to the waitress for...
Cafe Latino Punta Rena: Nice terrace
SandiMandi Says: Punta Rena serves texmex dishes and is located along the road that leads to the beach. They have a terrace which offers nice view to the bay. Can't comment on the food, we only went there for a drink once.
La Baiha Cocktail Bar: Bar in hotel
ginte Says: A cosy bar in the hotel where except all other beverages you can try Kinnie as well. This is traditional Maltese soft, non-alcoholic, bitter-tasting drink, made from bitter oranges and aromatic herbs, and is caramel in colour.
fruit de mer, Marfa Road, Mellieha: Amazing Food with a freindly warm welcome.
cjb1612 Says: We recently had our wedding in Malta and after being let down by our hotel for a reception venue. We were desperately searching round for a nice restaurant to hold our reception. Luckily we found fruit de mer in mellieha bay.Run by Antionette and Charlie we couldn't of asked...
SandiMandi Says: The Le Mar Grill House / Pizzeria / Pasticceria / Gelateria, is one of the most popular places in Mellieha Bay, ideal for family outings. Here you can savour mouth watering pizzas, grills, light snacks, home made desserts and ice cream. Sitting outside on the terrace you can...
al_mary Says: .We were just there in Mellieha Bay for a total of 10 days, and taxi fare from the airport to Mellieha Bay will run approx. 25 - 30 euro each way .... BUT you can contact Williams Garage, and it will only cost you 18 euro one way for up to 4...
SandiMandi Says: The yellow buses run frequently to and from Mellieha and unless you have a car they're the best way to get around. Buses no. 44 and 45 go to Valletta, tickets cost 25c/person. These buses go via Mosta and it takes about 50-60 mins to reach Valletta, depending on the traffic....
Feast of Our Lady of Victories
Diana75 Says: As all Malta towns, Mellieha has its own celebration.The feast of Our Lady of Victories is celebrated on September 8, but the festival starts earlier, on August 30.The entire town is colorfully decorated and the hand made fireworks are the main attraction.
Diana75 Says: Just entering the cave chapel your attention is definitely captured by the famous Madonna and Child icon. But while looking at the altar from the back of the chapel I had the impression that something was "wrong" with it.Going closer I have noticed that the icon, the main...
tophat30 Says: When one leaves the sanctuary, one can also visit the artificial cave dug in the 17th century. This cave could be reached from the road that leads to Mellieha Bay. Fourteen steps lead to the site where a small chapel with a statue of the Virgin and a natural spring can be...
leics Says: You'll have to look for this, because it's rather hidden away at the top of the village. In fact, it was set in a rather unattractive piece of wasteland just beneath the remains of the fort.The cross was constructed, apparently, to give pilgrims hope on the last leg of their...
Children playground and panorama
ginte Says: Just behind the church there is a small square with children playground, small caffe and some benches for to enjoy wonderful panoramic views. It is a nice place to spend some time for resting or looking at the views around.
