The idyllic village of Mellieha is situated on the top of a hill and boasts both stunning views and beautiful architecture. This delightful destination still maintains a rustic, somewhat old fashioned charm and a serviced apartment or holiday let in this area allows you to take in all that this glorious place has to offer.

A particularly sad and poignant place to visit are the Mellieha shelters. These long, underground tunnels and rooms were used as shelters for the village folk during the wartime air raids and the sound effects add a heart wrenching reminder of how terrible life during the war must have been.

If it’s a lazy day in the sun that you are after then Mellieha beach is within walking distance of your apartment rental and provides water-sport facilities for those who fancy a bit of adrenaline charged fun.

Popeye Village is an interesting if not somewhat surreal place to visit. This entire village is actually a film set that was built for the 1980s Popeye movie and has now been turned into a theme park for children. It’s definitely worth a browse even if it’s just to see the odd little houses.

From your aparthotel you can enjoy a wander through Mellieha’s quaint, unspoilt streets or venture up the steep hill that is home to the Church of our Lady Victory where you can marvel at both the stunning architecture of this magnificent building and the exquisite views of Mellieha Bay below. You can also refuel at the little café situated close to the church before starting the descent back down.

There are a few shops within close proximity of your service apartment where you can pick up the essentials but you will find more of a selection of produce in the neighbouring towns.

There are some really good restaurants and pizzerias along the seafront which are ideal for a bite to eat whilst watching the sun go down over the bay and, although Mellieha’s nightlife isn’t exactly buzzing, you will find some really nice little bars where you can enjoy a quiet drink and get to know the friendly locals.

Mellieha is a really peaceful, chilled out destination for those looking to just unwind and soak up the stunning scenery, interesting culture and fantastic architecture. A vacation in a Mellieha holiday let is highly recommended and will leave you feeling thoroughly rested and rejuvenated.
