Gillieru Harbour Hotel

Perched at the water’s edge in St. Paul's Bay (Bugibba), this beach hotel looks over the old fishing harbour and St. Paul's Islands. You're minutes from Bugibba Square and Bugibba Beach, with Golden Bay and Mellieha Bay a short drive away.

This small, prestigious hotel mixes rustic, traditional Maltese character with modern comforts. Rooms have private balconies with harbour views, en-suite bathrooms, air-conditioning, minibars and flat-screen/satellite TVs — early risers can watch colourful fishing boats unload right below.

Soak on the roof terrace or take a dip in the outdoor pool (seasonal closure Sept 15–Jun 1), then unwind at the poolside bar or hotel lounge. The property also offers a spa with massages, body treatments and facials, bicycles to rent, an arcade/game room, tour/ticket assistance and complimentary wireless internet access.

Conference/meeting rooms and a computer station support business needs, plus a 24-hour reception, dry cleaning/laundry, luggage storage and a roundtrip airport shuttle available for a surcharge.

Enjoy the on-site restaurant, poolside bar and limited-hours room service; English breakfasts are served daily (fee). Note that when evening dinners are booked they may be served at a nearby restaurant about 250 metres from the hotel.
