Buġibba & Qawra

Resort GuidesMalta › Malta

Malta’s main package-holiday resort area, with a long seafront and family-friendly pace.

Buġibba & Qawra

Overview

Buġibba and Qawra form Malta’s main purpose-built package-resort area, on the north side of the island, with a long seafront promenade, a good spread of family hotels, and easy access to the National Aquarium and several water parks nearby.

Families & toddlers

The seafront has rocky and small sandy swimming spots plus lido-style pool complexes at several hotels, and the National Aquarium and nearby Splash & Fun water park make for easy add-on family days.

Couples, teens & nightlife

A straightforward, unpretentious range of bars and restaurants along the promenade rather than a big nightlife scene — pleasant, relaxed evenings suited to families and couples alike.

Seniors & accessibility

The long seafront promenade is flat and easy, and the resort’s pace is generally gentler than St Julian’s — a comfortable, straightforward base for older visitors.

Best time to visit

April to October for comfortable weather and swimming.
