Holidays in
St Pauls Bay

Step into the past in St Paul’s Bay

A large resort on Malta’s north coast, St Paul’s Bay holidays have lots to offer, from peaceful, atmospheric explorations to buzzing nightlife. Once a fishing village, the area has grown into a busy commercial hub, but it retains much of its charm thanks to the local families that still live there, and this is one of the best places to experience authentic Maltese culture – in particular, some great food.

St Paul’s Bay offers a wide range of activities to get stuck into, from exploring prehistoric caves and embarking on cruises around the bay to visiting ancient stone temples. With a stellar selection of restaurants, bars and cafés, plus its striking coastline, this is one of Malta’s gems. There’s a delicate balance of old and new, busy and quiet, which makes holidays to St Paul’s Bay an attractive prospect for travellers of all age ranges and tastes.

Your St Paul’s Bay questions, answered

St Paul’s Bay is a great choice to visit all year round, with the highest temperatures occurring in summer. While there’s a dip in temperature in winter, it’s still on the warm side.

Local specialities to try include a range of different breads, plenty of freshly caught fish, garlicky ‘zalzett Malti’ (Maltese sausage), game and delicious soups.

Hand-blown glass is a favourite Maltese souvenir, but for something a bit more suitcase-friendly, consider some traditional filigree jewellery, colourful ‘qubbajt’ (Maltese nougat) or a bottle of local cactus liqueur.
