6 Things You Definitely Need To Try Out In Mellieħa This Summer

Article Featured Image

So you’ve probably scrolled through last summer’s Instagram feed twelve times today already. Mainly because the powers that be keep trolling us with subpar weather that makes us yearn for the heat (even though the moment we step out into the searing Maltese sun we’re straight back to dreaming of Christmas).

And yes, were already half-way through June, so we’re plotting our way through Malta’s latest summer must-dos, starting off with beach-town Mellie?a.

1. Go for the perfect evening stroll

You know the one. The summer evening air is just about right – warm enough to keep you going but with the just the right amount of sea breeze crispiness to ensure you’re not reduced to a dishevelled mess within two minutes of walking. Oh, and Mellie?a just happens to have views for days.

2. Spend a day by the pool

Pool offers in Malta sell out quicker than those mini-doughnuts at your local village feast. So when you find out that you can now spend your day overlooking the amazing Mellie?a valley, you tell all your friends and then pray to every deity imaginable you’ll all get poolside sunbeds.

And no, we didn’t make that one up – Pergola Hotel in Mellieha has launched All-Inclusive packages that include a full breakfast, a three-course lunch, afternoon tea and cakes, and use of the pool area and amenities.

This place is the literal definition of being extra for extra’s sake, but it’s totally Instagrammable and definitely on our watchlist. Besides, when you hear of a spot that’s preppy-infinity-pool-meets-over-the-top-Mediterranean-villa, you book instantly.

Oh, and there’s unlimited drinks too. Just saying.

3. Go for a quick lunch catch-up with your friends

Mellie?a is bursting with places to grab something to nibble on your summer’s day out. If it’s someplace a stone’s throw away from Mellieha’s hustle and bustle you’re looking for, check out tried-and-tested Da Ciccio. They’ve rolled out a brand new menu for 2018 with everything from baked brie to traditionally-prepared pizzas to a chef-speciality strip loin.

4. Grab a drink in a cave

You read that correctly. If there’s one thing you need to check out in Mellie?a this year it’s this awesome hangout. Wrought out of an actual friggin’ cave atop the Pergola Hotel, there’s a fully stocked bar and a pool to boot. And, you get to enjoy gorgeous views of the beautiful parish church, G?adira Bay, and even Gozo and Comino!

5. Watch the sunset from a spectacular rooftop

No matter the time of the year, Mellie?a is the place to catch the sunset. And if you’ve a few cocktails in hand, then that makes it all the better.
