Mellieha, in the North Region of Malta, is a relaxed hilltop village close to some of the island's best sandy beaches. For UK families and couples it combines warm Mediterranean sun, easy swimming and that friendly, English-speaking ease that makes Malta such a comfortable choice.

It is a calmer corner of the island, popular with those who want a beach holiday with a bit of local character and a gentle pace rather than non-stop resort bustle.
