How to get from Malta Airport to Mellieha

The easiest way to get to your accommodation in Malta is with a pre-booked airport transfer direct to Mellieha. We offer a wide range of transport options, including private taxis, affordable shuttles, minibuses, luxury cars and wheelchair accessible vehicles. Book one of our affordable shuttle buses, and we’ll get you from Malta Airport to the town in just 70 minutes. If you choose one of our private vehicles, your driver will get you door to door in 45 minutes.

Things to see and do in Mellieha

Mellieha Bay, also known as Għadira Bay, is the perfect destination for beach lovers. Home to both the biggest sandy beach in Malta, and one of its 12 Blue Flag beaches, it’s popular with families and holidaymakers looking for sun, sea and sand. Plenty of facilities make it very child-friendly and there are various water sports and boat excursions to Comino and the Blue Lagoon.

Another popular, natural place to visit during your stay is the Għadira Nature Reserve. This area of salt marshes and lakes is home to birds, wildlife and plants and is a great way to see some of Malta’s animal inhabitants. Finally, a popular sight for many holidaymakers here, the small district of Selmun is a historical place of interest where you can learn more about the Knights of Malta and see the Selmun Palace.

Top attractions

Film buffs can explore the set of the 1980 film Popeye, starring Robin Williams and filmed here in Malta. Still a major attraction for tourists, the set of Sweethaven consists of colourful buildings that overlook the sea. The set has since been expanded to include swimming pools, restaurants, gift shops and boat trips for visitors, as well as entertainment for the whole family.

A completely different experience, although no less interesting, is a visit to the large WWII air raid shelters, near Mellieha’s Parish Square. The tunnels, which were dug by hand, stretch out over 500 metres and include a variety of rooms and corridors. It’s a fascinating place to explore and discover some of Malta’s history.

Best restaurants

One of the best recommended restaurants in the area is family-run Zozi’s Bar and Restaurant. Located just nearby in Ghadira Bay, it specialises in home cooked Maltese cuisine with a twist. Diners can enjoy a set menu, daily specials and seasonal produce.

Types of HolidayTaxis transfer vehicles
March 31, 2023

At HolidayTaxis, we recognize that every traveler is different and may have their own preferences and requirements for their airport transfers. To accommodate this, we offer a diverse range of transfer vehicles for our customers to choose from, each with its own set of benefits and advantages.

For example, if you're traveling in a large group, our minibus or shared airport shuttle transfers might be the best option for you, as they can comfortably accommodate a larger number of passengers and their luggage. On the other hand, if you're traveling with just one or two companions, a private car may be more suitable for you as they offer a more intimate and personalised experience.
