Reviewed By JasmineA492 - Amman, Jordan
We visited the area at the beginning of January on a sunny day, and there were very few people there, which just added magic to the whole experience. I imagine this place to be packed in summer, the beach is sandy and it's such a beautiful spot. The clay slopes provide a dramatic contrast to the blue sea below. It's worth walking all the way around the large 'rock' overlooking the sea. We walked around this and then down to the beach. We spent some time on the beach and then walked back up towards the tower. It is so beautiful here, the views are breath-taking and it's just absolutely worth visiting, especially on a cold, sunny day if you like hiking or on a warm, sunny day if you like swimming. Next time we'll go back with a kayak so we can explore the caves around the area.

An experience not to be missed. Very informative and interesting visit. Can’t begin to imagine what life was like in there and the thought of digging out your own room (if you had a permit) is rather scary.

Very beautiful and if you go across the road at the back of this church there is a play area for children, head towards this as there is a lovely little bar at the back with amazing views and a great cuppa.

This place is temporarily closed.
Reviewed By 586grahamh
The tower is closed until further notice but views from the location are really good particularly if you are up for a 2-3 hour circular walk. Involves one short steep climb. For the (clockwise) walk start out along the broadly level minor road that goes "inland" above the scruffy bungalows at the bottom of the hill below the tower. Emerge beyond the bungalows; pass a farmyard area; then when the road forks head right up hill. Where it levels out good views. Follow the road round to the right with planted fields either side. After some 200m watch for a concrete track/right turn. Take it. Ascend some (very) steep stone steps to reach the top of the ridge. Seat nearby for more lovely 360' views. Option here to walk left along minor road out and back to end of headland. Otherwise turn right and walk along minor road to the Red Tower. For the route down walk beyond the tower, ignore two tracks off to right and continue as road starts to descend. Watch for access to path and steps on right which zig-zag down the hill to emerge onto the road at the end of Mellieha bay within a few yards of your start point.

Me and my mum had a walk up to Mellieha to visit the underground church of the Lady of the Grotto. We had seen the gate to it a few times but didn't venture down as we did not think we were allowed. When our transfer was bringing us to our hotel this time she advised visitors can down for a visit. There is a steep flight of stairs, which are beautiful and then you go into the underground church. It is a lovely little church, very well maintained. We love history so this was a great attraction for us.
6. Coral Lagoon

4.5 based on 45 reviews
Reviewed By thetravellingfrenchy - Prague, Czech Republic
This lagoon is a hidden cave that is very popular diver’s spot due to its crystal clear waters. From Little Armier Bay, you can get there by kayak or by foot and swim in this unusual, true beauty of nature! A lot of people are jumping off the top of the cave but be careful because the rocks surrounding lagoon are pretty harsh and might cut you. It is better to walk around with sneakers or water shoes.

This is one of the best beaches in Malta, where you cannot even see the resorts. Just a fishing village, where the locals go for a swim. Sandy and with turquoise waters.
