Best places to stay in Malta

There has long been a wealth of accommodation on the Maltese Islands, but it’s now increasing in variety, particularly in and around the capital Valletta, which has lately gained some inviting boutique apartments and hotels. Birgu (Vittoriosa), across the harbour from the capital, is also an extremely attractive base and has several new handsome, characterful options. If you’re after a beach holiday, you’ll probably want to aim for the main resort towns on the northern coast, such as St Julian’s, Buġibba and Mellieħa.
