Cities in Malta
Where to go in Malta
The main choices are Sliema, St Paul's Bay, St. Julian's, Valletta, Mellieħa, and Gozo, each with a different balance of volume and focus.
- Gozo
Gozo is the island choice if you want to stay outside the main hotel concentrations on the Malta mainland. It works well for a slower base, while the busiest areas such as Sliema and St. Julian's offer many more hotel options. - Sliema
Sliema has 793 hotels, the largest choice in the list. It suits visitors who want the widest range in one place and easy comparison between many stays. - St Paul's Bay
St Paul's Bay has 603 hotels, giving it one of the biggest selections outside Sliema. It is a practical pick if you want plenty of options without moving into the smallest areas. - St. Julian's
St. Julian's has 501 hotels, so there is still a substantial choice while staying below the very largest clusters. It is useful if you want a busy base with many properties to compare. - Valletta
Valletta has 467 hotels and stands out for a sizeable but more focused selection. It is a strong choice if you want to stay in the capital and keep the search more compact. - Mellieħa
Mellieħa has 263 hotels, which makes it a mid-sized option with enough variety for comparison. It can suit travellers who want fewer choices than the main hubs but still a solid list. - Il-Gżira
- Marsaskala
- Msida
- Xagħra
Top-rated hotels
These picks are chosen by guest score, with review count helping separate the strongest options from the rest. That makes high-rated places with many reviews easier to compare against newer or smaller-listing favourites.
When to go
Interest peaks in 7. The monthly pattern is strongest in 7, with solid demand also in 3, 5, 6, and 8, while 10 and 11 are softer. That can help if you want a busier period for choice, or a quieter time to compare more calmly.
Getting there and around
No distances are provided for arrival points, so the main decision is usually which part of Malta you want as your base. If you are choosing between the larger hotel clusters, Sliema, St Paul's Bay, St. Julian's, and Valletta give the broadest selection, while Gozo and Mellieħa can suit a more specific stay style.
Travel guides
The guides help if you want to match a hotel choice with a wider plan for Valletta and the harbour area, rather than deciding on location alone.
