The most spectacular swimming spots in Malta


Details

Curated selection of points

Malta has been described as the ‘underrated gem of the Mediterranean’ and looking at these pictures of spectacular swimming spots, it’s easy

to see why. With some of the cleanest waters in the Mediterranean, spending your days lazily ticking off these beaches on your Malta bucket list is a holiday dream. Be warned though – many of the beaches are the rocky kind often found in this part of the world, so try to put the Australian version of sandy beaches out of your mind. The upside? No pesky fine-grained sand in your bathers and beach bag! Here are the best swimming spots to cool off in Malta.

Golden Bay
This is one of the few ‘sandy’ beaches, so if you have a vision of lying on a towel and soaking up the sun, this might be the spot for you.

1
Ramla Bay
Known locally as ‘the red sandy beach’, this is the island of Gozo’s most popular swimming spot.

2
Blue Lagoon
Just a boat ride from the seaside resort of Sliema on Malta (the archipelago’s main island) is the small island of Comino.

3
Paradise Bay
At the most northern point of Malta is where you will find this lovely small beach, set in natural rocky surrounds.

4
Qawra Point
Sure, the beach is a little rocky, but this is a beautiful, sheltered beach with spectacular views and crystalline waters.

5
Fomm-ir-Rih
This one is tricky to get to, but if you want to escape the crowds it can be well worth the trek.

7
St Peter's Pool
Set near the charming fishing village of Marsaxlokk, St Peter’s pool is considered one of the most beautiful natural pools in the world.

8
San Blas Bay
Another of Gozo’s great swimming spots, San Blas Bay is set in the secluded green countryside at the end of a pristine valley.
