Airport Guide
Compare 4 airports near Mellieha
For most travelers, Malta International Airport (MLA) is the only practical choice: it is the primary international gateway located within Malta and offers simple, direct transport to Mellieha. All other airports are not in Malta at all and require complex, multi-day, or multi-modal journeys involving ferries and long-distance transfers. Catania–Fontanarossa Airport (CTA) serves the nearby city of Catania in Sicily and is a major hub, but it is highly impractical for reaching Mellieha due to the vast distance and the need to coordinate sea crossings. Similarly, Comiso Airport (CIY), which serves the Ragusa region of Sicily, and Lampedusa Airport (LMP), located on the island of Lampedusa, are not viable alternatives for regular tourism. Travelers should prioritize arriving directly at the local airport to avoid excessive travel times, high costs, and logistical uncertainty. Practical tip: Always book transfers in advance if arriving at late hours, as public transport options on the Maltese islands cease operation around midnight.

The hotel left a very positive impression. The location is excellent, close to the sea and the promenade with many restaurants. The room was clean and had everything we needed. Check-in was very easy thanks to the code system — quick and convenient.
The staff was always available and ready to help. Breakfast is simple but sufficient: yogurt, fruits and juices are provided in the room, which is very convenient.
During the season, there is a rooftop pool, which is very atmospheric and offers a nice view. The spa was not exactly what we expected, but still quite pleasant and a good place to relax.
Overall, a great place for a спокойный отдых. We would definitely recommend it!

Reception and room services were excellent, although the dining room service was a little lacking by comparison to the other departments. Some dining room staff looked and acted completely disinterested, whereas the 'upstairs' teams were much more approachable, friendly, pleasant, and helpful. The 'superior room' booked was large, clean, bright, and well equipped, although the outlook to the rear of the hotel was somewhat underwhelming with views of rooftops and walls.
Overall, it was very good value for money, and in spite of some relatively small negatives, we would certainly stay at The Solana Hotel again.
The chargable garage parking facility was most welcome because of a general limitation on parking in Mellieha and most of Malta.FromUS$132

The room was very nice but noisy with a busy road and hotel noises during the night. You are a captive audience, with no immediate outside facilities. The food was adequate, if not overpriced. Hotel quality, not restaurant quality. Edible but nothing to write home about. You need a bus to go anywhere. The next couple of little towns offer a variety of restaurants. The facilities in the hotel are OK but nothing to see unless you like ferries. A bus pass at the airport costs 27 euros and should last a week, even if you go out daily. This is the very top of the island, so you will need transport, unless you just want to sit by the pool.FromUS$101

Positive points: location, breakfast, the diversity of restaurants, the cocktail map, staff.
Negative points: unheated outdoor swimming pools, closed main restaurant terrace, the room was not very hot and heating was not working at all. The principle of restaurants is not too bad but you must book, they are not every evening open and, above all, food remains basic and the dishes are very similar. There is only the main restaurant open at noon and is not very varied. FromUS$376

We stayed at the Luna Holiday Complex over Christmas and had a pleasant overall experience. We were self-catering, so I can’t comment much on the food, although we did order a pizza once and it was very nice.
There was quite a bit of renovation work going on during our stay, and unfortunately the rooftop pool was closed. I had been really looking forward to using it, so that was a bit disappointing. However, the downstairs family pool was open and we made good use of that.
Our apartment was spacious, comfortable, and well maintained, with regular housekeeping throughout our stay. The complex felt very festive over Christmas, which added to the atmosphere.
The location was great for us. Scenic, close to the sea, and in a quieter part of Malta, which is exactly what we were looking for. We preferred being by the coast rather than high up in the village, and this worked perfectly.
Overall, a nice stay with good accommodation and a lovely location.FromUS$152

We were completely satisfied, although you had to be prepared for Malta's somewhat cooler hotel charm. We were very pleased with the service; all our requests were met and fulfilled. The price/performance ratio was excellent. We're excited to see what the resort will look like after the expansion.FromUS$186

Excellent hotel with free parking, conveniently located near the island's most beautiful beaches. The room was clean and spacious, and the buffet breakfast offered a wide variety of options. You can also have dinner at a reasonable price. Both the indoor pool with spa and the outdoor pool are lovely and very functional, and the gym, though small, is perfectly adequate. There's also a nice indoor bar and a terrace perfect for an aperitif. Overall, a great experience; I highly recommend it and would definitely return!FromUS$149

I think it's invincible Hotel with five stars to the wrist
❤️ Check-in time 2 pm, check-out time 11:00
❤️ The smallest room type is also a suite, the area is super large! One word, cool! !
❤️ There are a total of more than ten boutique hotels, so there are not many listings, remember to book early.
My room is on the first floor with floor-to-ceiling windows. I see that there is monitoring on the wall outside the window, so I don’t have to worry about safety. I can feel the breeze in the small town of Meliha when I open the window. It is a joy.
❤️ Overall health 9 points +, very clean
❤️ Mediterranean style, the outside looks a little simple, but it is very exquisite to walk in, even the door is very modern design, all facilities are very perfect, this is not seen in the whole European Hotel
❤️ The breakfast room is connected to the lobby, the heated swimming pool on the 1st floor, and the terrace pool on the 4th floor are all modern styles, very beautiful
❤️ Sound insulation is very good, no noise
Free Wi-Fi, water, slippers, bathrobes, coffee maker, etc.
There are paid snack cabinets and paid SPAs to make an appointment for 100 euros in advance (guests can get 15% off) (large apartments have bathtubs)
❤️ Paid breakfast, more delicious and very filmed
Three-story continental plate + one main course + optional drink
❤️ The location is far from the capital of Malta: the town of Meliha, the beautiful church of Meliha is out, the restaurant next to the downstairs is also delicious, you can see the sea, close to the blue lake, convenient to travel along the street, away from the hustle and bustle, quiet and comfortable
❤️ The hotel is very safe, and the mobile phone is not lost in the room.
❤️ The front desk staff was very friendly. On the first day of check-in, they sent lemon soda directly. They took the initiative to help carry luggage into the room. They even introduced the facilities. This kind of attentive service is moving! I hope he will all go well for more than one night stay, the cleaning staff will take the initiative to clean the room, all the staff are very nice
Disadvantages:
There are almost no shortcomings. The hard thing to say is that the location is relatively remote, but there is a semi-insulated comfortable atmosphere here, suitable for emptying, vacation/and receiving adults. If you bring children and pets, it is not suitable.
The overall experience of staying is very good, and I will definitely come back to the hotel in Malta in the future! I love Lure ～ I hope you can maintain quality.5 star

Overall clean and friendly place
ㅇ Advantages
- Close to Gojo Island
- Quite clean and quiet place
- Breakfast was better because it was not a buffet. It's a breakfast served ~ Besides, there are three choices, breakfast for starters! Fantastic !!
ㅇ Disadvantages
- A place too hard to shower because of the bathroom without shower booth
- I told you in advance that I gave you a room with a shower booth, but I couldn't find it anywhere when I booked.
- A little difficult to check in if you go late in the evening. You have to read the QR of the explanation at the door and go to the restaurant in front of the hostel to get the check-in envelope.
It was a good place to stay for these shortcomingsFromUS$161
