The rooftop is the favourite hangout with a pool that looks across Qawra and out to the bay. It is an easy place to spend an afternoon with a book while you drift between sunbed and water. When evening rolls in the SkyDeck pours a good spritz and the view does the rest.
If you like to keep the routine going there is a small fitness room for a quick session before breakfast. You can ease out any travel knots with a simple menu of massages that you can arrange on site. Everything is laid back so it never feels like a chore to fit it in.
Families and friends like the location because you can split the day between the coast path, the town cafés and the little beaches around Bugibba. Boat trips to Comino are easy to arrange from the promenade and the aquarium is a useful plan for a breezy afternoon. It means you can leave the car behind and still feel you have done a lot.

More Info
Food & Drink
The hotel serves a good breakfast each morning with hot and cold choices so you can start the day well. The SkyDeck handles light bites and a nice range of drinks which suits an easy pool day. Qawra and Bugibba are full of cafés and restaurants so dinner is a simple wander out rather than a plan that needs booking. It keeps things flexible if your plans change with the weather.
Breakfast Restaurant
The main room opens early with fresh fruit, pastries and the usual cooked items that travellers look for. Coffee is decent which helps when you have an early boat trip or a hire car day ahead. Seating is relaxed and you can be in and out quickly if you want to catch the morning sun on the rooftop. It is a tidy set up that works for couples and families alike.
Bars
The rooftop bar is the most popular spot when the light softens in the evening. Expect simple cocktails, wines and chilled beers with that wide sky view that always feels special. There is also a lobby space for a quick drink before you head out to the promenade. It all feels easy which is what you want on holiday.
Entertainment & Activities
Daytime
Start with a swim on the roof then wander to the coast path for a look at the bay. The Malta National Aquarium is a short walk which is handy if you want something light in the middle of the day. Boat trips to Comino and the Blue Lagoon leave from nearby piers so you can be on the water without much effort. If you are a walker there are plenty of easy seaside routes to stretch your legs.
Evening
Bugibba Square has a friendly buzz with music in the bars and plenty of places for a late gelato. The rooftop is lovely at sunset if you want a calm drink before dinner. If you fancy a little more energy there are casual pubs and live sports screens along the promenade. It makes for a simple evening that still feels like a night out.
Nearby Attractions
For a day trip you can hop a bus to Valletta for museums and grand harbour views. Mdina is another easy win with quiet streets and that golden stone that looks great in late afternoon light. If the sea is calm you can join a cruise that loops around the island which is a nice way to see the coast without driving. Car hire is straightforward if you plan to reach Gozo under your own steam.
Contacting The Hotel
If you have questions about rooms or arrival times the team replies quickly by email and is happy to help before you travel. You can also reach them by phone if you prefer to speak to someone. Response times are usually short which takes the stress out of planning.
Getting There
Transfer time from Malta International Airport to Qawra is around half an hour by road depending on traffic. Pre booked shuttle coaches and private taxis are easy to arrange or you can take a local bus from the terminal for a budget option. If you prefer the freedom to explore, car hire desks operate at the airport and parking in Qawra is manageable if you avoid the busiest times.
