Mellieħa sits on a ridge at the north of Malta, looking down over Mellieħa Bay — one of the island’s largest sandy beaches — towards Comino and Gozo. The village has a strong community, a striking parish church and a relaxed, seaside rhythm.
The landscape
The north of Malta is greener and more open than the harbour area. The Red Tower — St Agatha’s Tower, built by the Knights — stands on the ridge above the bay. Anchor Bay, Golden Bay and the nature reserves around the bays are all nearby, and the ferry port of Ċirkewwa is minutes away.

Practicalities
A car is useful — Mellieħa is further from Valletta and the harbour towns than central villages, though buses run to Valletta and Ċirkewwa. See driving in Malta. Non-EU buyers need an AIP permit, as there is no SDA in Mellieħa.
