Stretch out on the soft sand of the aptly named Golden Sands Beach on Golden Bay. Along with Mellieħa Bay, this is one of Malta’s most beloved beaches, for its fine granules which set it apart from the usual pebbly shorelines. The sea opens up in front of you here, framed by ragged cliffs, with the mysterious Ghajn Tuffieha tower just visible over scruffy hills. Golden Bay is not quite within Mellieħa but very accessible from the township, as Malta is quite compact. Because it’s slightly out of the way, it rarely gets crowded. The people here are happy to just lie in the sun and enjoy the waves that form out in the distance and roll gently into the shore. However you travel here, enjoy the pretty countryside of Malta on your way. Many of Malta’s beaches are either heavily developed for tourism, artificial or full of people, so Golden Bay is a retreat from the frenetic resort lifestyle. It looks now as it has looked throughout the thousands of years of civilization in Malta. Wind surfers and other watersports lovers in particular enjoy its serenity. Appreciate the beach’s features that have earned a Beach of Quality Award. Go for a leisurely walk along the cliffs that hang over the blue water. Notice that the land behind is relatively unspoiled, apart from a large hotel. If you’re staying at the hotel you’ll have access to a private portion of the beach. Several cafés assure you won’t go hungry. Rent sunbeds and umbrellas from beachside kiosks. The beach at Golden Bay truly shines in the rosy glow of a gorgeous sunset when the light fades over the horizon. Arrive by car and use the plentiful parking or by bus from Bugibba or Sliema. If you’d like to spend a night under the stars and hear the gentle waves as you fall asleep, put up a tent at the nearby Ghajn Tuffieha campsite. ## Plan a trip to see Golden Sands Beach Price found within the past 48 hours.

(125 reviews) A higly recommended boutique hotel (winner of the award for the best Malta boutique hotel for 2025). My wife and stayed here for two weeks in November (the off season) and it was perfect for our base of operations. The rooms are kept spotless. The breakfast (included) is cooked for you daily. And for dinner in the restaurant (not included) food, wine, and service are exceptional. This is a small, locally owned, family run hotel. We were made to feel very welcome and the owners and staff were happy to provide suggestions and recommendations for restaurants and activities. Thank you to all.

(8 reviews) JL Hotel is very well located, just a short walk from the beach and extremely close to a busy nightlife and clubbing area. Because of this, it is far more suited to singles, couples, and solo travellers rather than families. It is not particularly family-friendly, especially in terms of accessibility. There are stairs all the way up to reception, and the reception area itself is very small. This makes the hotel inconvenient for guests with heavy or large luggage, pushchairs, or wheelchairs. In addition, reception is not manned after certain hours, and the hotel operates largely on a self-service basis, with guests required to contact the hotel via a provided number if assistance is needed outside reception hours. This can be inconvenient if issues arise late at night. One further point worth noting is that the entire hotel is very dimly lit, including the entrance, lift areas, and corridors leading to the rooms. While this may be an energy-saving measure, it is not ideal from a safety or comfort perspective, particularly for guests who are uncomfortable in dark spaces or who prefer well-lit communal areas. The rooms themselves are modern, very clean, and well equipped. One downside was the amount of signage warning guests about charges for damage to linen, towels.
