Mellieha is an old fishing village surrounded by the best of Maltese countryside, the best sandy beaches, and is the less densely populated area in Malta. Thus it is Malta's most picturesque part. These characteristics developed Mellieha to become one of the most prestigious and upmarket areas in Malta. The walks in the countryside can be several km long and you can also opt to visit one of the secluded small sandy beaches like Imgiebah and Selmun. The most famous sandy beaches which are in a radius of 3km are Golden Bay, Ghajn tuffieha Bay Gnejna Bay, Anchor Bay, Paradise Bay, Armier Bay and Mellieha (Ghadira) Bay. The village of Mellieha has also the best SPA centre. There are many good restaurants (from cheap, trattoria style to the most chic and expensive in Malta), supermarkets, banks, and all kinds of shops including traditional shops selling traditional food and traditional items. Mellieha is also on the bus grid and so it is not a must to rent a car.
