Where to Stay in St. Paul's Bay

Finding the right accommodation is key to a successful package holiday. St. Paul's Bay offers a variety of options that cater to different travel styles, ensuring you have a comfortable base for your trip.

• DoubleTree by Hilton Malta: This is an upscale seafront hotel located in St. Paul's Bay, Malta, and was formerly known as the Dolmen Hotel.

Getting There and When to Go

Getting to St. Paul's Bay is straightforward for British travellers, with regular flights serving Malta throughout the year. Once you arrive at the airport, transfers are typically efficient, whisking you away to your hotel in no time.

While Malta is a fantastic year-round destination, the best time for beach lovers is between late spring and early autumn. During these months, the Mediterranean temperatures are ideal for swimming and outdoor dining. If you prefer a quieter pace and cooler weather for walking, the shoulder seasons of spring and late autumn are perfect for exploring the wider Malta region.

Beaches and Coastal Appeal

The appeal of St. Paul's Bay lies in its dramatic coastal landscape. Unlike resorts with endless stretches of soft white sand, this area is characterised by beautiful rocky inlets and clear, turquoise waters that are perfect for cooling off. Many holidaymakers appreciate the natural swimming spots found along the coast, which offer a refreshing change of pace from traditional sandy beaches.

The waterfront areas in both St. Paul's Bay and the adjacent Qawra are perfect for morning strolls or evening walks. The promenade connects the various parts of the town, allowing you to enjoy sea views while discovering the local architecture and the vibrant, laid-back atmosphere of the harbour.

Food, Drink and Local Life

One of the joys of a holiday here is sampling the local lifestyle. The town is filled with welcoming spots where you can enjoy a drink overlooking the sea or tuck into fresh, Mediterranean-inspired dishes. From casual cafes serving light lunches to more formal dining venues, you will find plenty of choice to suit your tastes.

Exploring the town reveals a mix of traditional Maltese character and modern amenities. It is a place where you can take things slow, spending your afternoons browsing local shops or simply relaxing at your resort. For those interested in history or regional culture, the area serves as a practical gateway to the many sights scattered across the islands.

Who Suits a Holiday Here?

St. Paul's Bay is particularly well-suited to travellers who want a hassle-free holiday. It is a fantastic choice for families who want pool facilities and easy access to the sea, as well as couples looking for a relaxing retreat without the chaos of larger, high-intensity resorts.
