Malta Marriott Resort & Spa

Overlooking Balluta Bay, in the charming seaside town of St Julian’s, the Malta Marriott Resort & Spa couples relaxation with luxurious surroundings for the perfect Maltese getaway.

Get started on unwinding straight away by dropping your bags and heading straight to the spa. Choose from a list of indulgent body treatments and relaxing massages, or just relax by the indoor pool. If you fancy catching a few rays, head up to the rooftop terrace and snag a poolside sun lounger. Take a dip, grab a drink at the bar, or just bask in the sunshine – it’s totally up to you.

If you feel like venturing out, there’s loads on the doorstep. Balluta Beach, a small-but-perfectly-formed stretch of sand, is less than a five-minute stroll from the hotel. A walk along the seaside promenade will take you to Sliema, where you’ll find a mix of boutique and high street shops. A few minutes’ walk in the other direction is Paceville, with its bars, restaurants, and clubs.

The main restaurant here serves up an international buffet for breakfast and dinner. Two à la carte restaurants serve up Mediterranean and seafood specialties – and offer al fresco dining if you visit in the summer. Stay in a Club room and you’ll also have access to an exclusive top-floor lounge and terrace with panoramic views and direct access to the pool.
