Best Nature and Parks (RV, National, Dog, etc) in Malta

"These colonnaded gardens perched high above Grand Harbour were created in the late 16th century as a relaxing haven for the Knights from the nearby Auberge d'Italie. They provide a shady retreat from the bustle of the city, and the balcony has one of the best views in Malta.The terrace below is occupied by the Saluting Battery, where a cannon once fired salutes to visiting naval vessels."

"Be sure not to miss the stunning Upper Barrakka Gardens, which give you panoramic views of the Harbor. Originally these gardens were used by the Knight of St. John, who are responsible for building Valletta. Note: The closer you are to the tourist attractions, the more that you’ll find prices for basics will rise."

"My steps took me to Lower Barrakka Gardens, a quiet place with stunning views – for me it was the most picturesque point in Valletta and I was so surprised there were hardly any people around, unlike in Upper Barrakka Gardens. Before I got to the second one I also took some random streets and found myself in the Middle Eastern quarter with Turkish, Armenian or Persian shops (signs, flags etc). It was the only place I’ve seen so far where Turkey and Armenia neighbor peacefully. From there it was a short walk up to Upper Barrakka Gardens that also offer amazing views but was a much busier place."

"With limited space in Valletta and stone simply everywhere, the thinking behind building the Upper and Lower Barrakka Gardens should be obvious. These rare patches of green within the city not only give you a break from the city streets, but also happen to be exceedingly pretty on their own. The gardens are positioned at different points along the Grand Harbour, but both enjoy sublime views of the harbor as well as Valletta’s waterfront."

"While the Upper Barrakka Gardens are a definite must visit, the Lower Barrakka Gardens too are a wonderful sight to see if you are not hard pressed for time. They provide a different and very lovely perspective to the Malta harbor and are a lovely place to hang out after a day of sight-seeing. The soothing sounds of the sea in the distance, the salty sea-breeze and the unique vantage point that...Read more"

"Located in the periphery of St. Julian’s, lies a gastronomic experience that has in recent years established itself as the leading dining location for modern Mediterranean cuisine and molecular cocktails in Malta."

"The island of Malta is certainly studded with an array of lovely gardens which is rather surprising for its climate. One such surprising and lovely place to visit in Malta is the lesser known and yet incredibly beautiful Hastings Garden. The area is small but the green grass, the lovely flowers and the sculpture make it a wonderful and refreshing oasis in the middle of a busy city."

"Jedna z piękniejszych, a dla wielu najpiękniejsza plaża na Malcie znajduje się na północy wyspy. Można tu dojechać bezpośrednim autobusem, o ile aktualnie kursuje. Najlepiej jednak udać się do Cirkewwa Ferry i stamtąd aleją oleandrów iść prosto do Rajskiej Zatoki."

"Spinola Bay is one of the most famous in Malta, and the popular and busy location in St Julian's for walking and recreation. The Northern part of the Bay is a more relaxed place. Here, the boardwalk rises directly to the waters of the Mediterranean sea."

"Made possible by BirdLife Malta, the oldest environmental organization in Malta, this reserve is located on the outskirts of Mellieha, right across from the beach and it’s a great place to learn more about the local flora and fauna, go for a short hike, do birdwatching, and look for chameleons. This is a perfect length hike for little legs–it’s a single path that’s a little under a half mile one way–and the promise of finding chameleons will keep kids very interested. We saw several chameleons every time we visited the reserve (by walking slowly and looking hard!) and the kids loved it."

Għadira Nature Reserve, nestled in the valley just behind Mellieha Bay, consists of seven hectares of brackish lake and saltmarsh habitat. Permanent water habitats like this one are quite rare on the island due to the long, hot summers."

"Luxury residential and business complex, which is a popular place for walks and rest, where, if you want, you can stay for a few days. In the Portomaso complex includes: three pools with moorings for vessels; a luxury residential building with swimming pool, sun terraces and restaurants; and the 5-star Hilton Malta Spa centre with indoor pool, 4 outdoor pools and 2 pools for children. This place is not suitable for swimming, but can be a great solution for walking and recreation."

Tico Tico on Strait Street was one of the first to open its doors among the current generation of hotspots in Valletta. Owners Clint Debono and Mark Zammit saw potential in the capital when many looked past it, realising that there weren’t many places to go after dinner."

"Tico Taco is one of the pioneering bars along this tiny street, with outside tables and relaxed drinking and snacking in Malta's newest yet re-emerging nightlife hub. The food is average, but it's worth a quick..."

"This well-known bar is easy to find as it’s located in Mellieha Square in front of the church, which is lit up at night offering a gorgeous backdrop to your evening. It’s the ideal choice if you want to relax outdoors on a warm evening and take in a bit of the colourful local life. You can also catch up on some of the latest sports action on the screens that are located throughout the bar, relaying a variety of coverage."

"Qawra St Paul's Bay (1.2 km distance from city Qawra). Set on the seafront at St. Paul's Bay, Dolmen Hotel Malta offers panoramic sea views, a free private beach and 6 swimming pools. Its spa includes a hot tub, sauna and fitness centre."

"The Dolmen Resort Hotel is located on the coast of Buġibba and is one of the better-known hotels in the area, with good quality accommodation. With its seafront location, the hotel boasts a seaside lido with outdoor pool, which is unique to hotels in this area."

"The Ramla Bay Resort used to be a firm favourite among Mellieha hotels, particularly because of the self-catering apartments and studio apartments with sea view that they used to offer. Although that charm’s been kind of ruined with the towering annex with more hotel rooms, it’s still a good option to consider, with a combination unique location(and quiet area) and comfortable, well-furnished rooms."

"Ciekawym miejscem jest zatoka powszechnie znana jako Ramla Bay Marfa. Zadbane alejki, mnóstwo kwiatów, krzewów, wielopoziomowe knajpy, sporej wielkości baseny, no i oczywiście bezpośredni dostęp do zatoki. Linia wybrzeża jest idealna do snorkelingu."

"The 4-star hotel is considered to be one of the best in its category. Located at a stone throw away from the Gozo ferry terminal, the Ramla Bay Resort in Mellieha offers its own private sandy beach as well as fantastic views to all its customers."

"Atithi Devo Bhava Since opening our doors in 1994 Emperor of India has always consistently offered traditional northern Indian specialties. The uncompromising approach to genuine quality and tradition has over the past 3 decades, won Emperor of India numerous accolades and rave reviews from a loyal clientele."

"My favourite Indian restaurant in Malta, with tasty food, mean curries and very friendly and helpful staff. They’re one of the longest established Indian restaurants in Malta and have managed to maintain high quality dining for years."
