Malta's North Coast offers a more relaxed and tranquil setting, ideal for those who wish to be on the mainland but do not want to be in the busier parts of the island. It is less inhabited and offers a range of walking and restful options. Therefore the hotels in this area tend to offer nightlife centred in or around its hotels and resorts. Close by lies Golden Bay, which enjoys a secluded location and a large sandy beach framed by rocky cliffs.

Transfer times:

Malta Airport to the North coast / Golden Bay: 50 minutes
