One apartment, run properly. A seafront balcony in Buġibba, hosts who are on the island, and a rate you won’t beat on any listing site — because there isn’t a middleman taking a cut.

On the seafront
Buġibba promenade
The home
A bright two-bedroom apartment directly on the Buġibba seafront, sleeping five, with a west-facing balcony and the sunset in front of it.
Right on the Buġibba seafront in San Pawl il-Baħar, with uninterrupted Mediterranean views. Two bedrooms and a sofa bed for up to five, two bathrooms, a full kitchen, fast Wi-Fi, and a balcony pointed straight at the sunset. Swimming spots, beach clubs, restaurants and the whole promenade are on the doorstep.
Current offers
Malta doesn’t really do winter. Sixteen to nineteen degrees, sun most days, and Valletta to yourself. These rates are live now.
25%
Malta in winter is 16–19°C, quiet, and a fraction of the summer price. Stay five nights or more between November and February and we'll take 25% off the accommodation.
Fourteen nights or more, any time of year. Ideal if you're working from here for a stretch.
Our thanks for skipping the listing sites. Enter DIRECT10 at checkout on any stay of two nights or more.
Around the islands
Malta is 27 kilometres end to end, which means everything on this list is a day trip and most of it is an afternoon. Ask us and we'll book the boat.
Boats leave from the bay
The single best reason to be based up here. Trip boats leave from Buġibba and Qawra through the season, so you walk to the quay rather than driving across the island. Go on the first boat — the lagoon is close to empty until mid-morning.
Boats from the bay, a short walk away
The slower island
Ċirkewwa, where the Gozo ferry goes from, is about twenty minutes up the coast — closer from here than from anywhere else people stay. Salt pans at Xwejni, the Ġgantija temples, and a long lunch somewhere with a view.
Worth the trip in
Europe's smallest capital, a UNESCO site you can cross on foot in twenty minutes. Caravaggio in St John's Co-Cathedral, the Upper Barrakka gardens for the noon gun, and the bars down Strait Street that only wake up late. Direct buses run from Buġibba square.
The sand ones
Malta's proper sandy beaches are on this side of the island, twenty minutes west. Golden Bay has the easy access and the beach bar; walk over the headland to Għajn Tuffieħa and there are two hundred steps and far fewer people.
The Silent City
The old walled capital, still residential, still closed to cars after dark. Go for sunset once the coaches have left, when the limestone turns the colour of honey and you have the bastion walls to yourself.
Year-round, 16–26°C
Some of the clearest water in the Mediterranean, and a lot of it reachable straight from the shore. There are dive schools within walking distance of the apartment, and the wrecks off this coast are among the best in Malta.

We’ve only just started taking bookings direct, so the reviews still live on Airbnb. The rating is the same apartment and the same team — and booking here costs less.
Why book direct
Booking here isn't a favour to us — it's cheaper, more flexible, and you get a person instead of a support ticket.
Book on merillstays.com and you pay less than any listing site. Find it cheaper elsewhere and we'll match it and take another 5% off.
The price you see is the price you pay. No service charge, no card surcharge, no surprises at checkout.
Cancel free up to 14 days before arrival for a full refund, straight back to your card.
We live here. Message us for a restaurant table, a boat day, or an early check-in and you'll get a person, not a queue.
Still deciding? Just ask.
A real person answers, usually within the hour, and we’ll tell you honestly if the dates don’t suit.
Ready when you are
