DISABLED ACCESS HOLIDAYS IN MALTA
Malta is the largest island and the cultural, commercial and administrative centre. Gozo is the second largest island and is more rural, characterised by fishing, tourism, crafts and agriculture while Comino is largely uninhabited. With superbly sunny weather, expansive beaches, a thriving nightlife and 7,000 years of intriguing history, there is a great deal to see and do. With a little help from any guidebook, captivating places of interest are immediately identified – the world famous Hypogeum selected as a place of World Heritage by UNESCO, prehistoric temples and grand palaces are but a few.The long relationship between the Islanders and the various nationalities that occupied Malta over the centuries has created a marriage of styles and traditions, giving the Islands a fascinating eclectic culture.
Year round sunshine can be enjoyed in some our fantastic hotels in Malta. Malta is known to many as a former part of the British Empire. But look beyond the many reminders of this and just about every major power in European and African history has laid down some historical markers on this wonderful Mediterranean island. A trip to Malta will provide you with something a bit different from the long white beaches sought out by many holiday makers - but if rugged enclaves, fantastic water sports and deliciously fresh local seafood are of interest then you're on the right track. Our hotels in Malta are the most comprehensive you will find. For a lively experience in a lovely little resort our hotels in Qawra fit the bill. Or if you are looking for a cosmopolitan feel then check out our hotels in Sliema.
Qawra extends southwards from Bugibba and links up to Salina Bay - so called as it was used for hundreds of years to produce sea salt. Qawra provides plenty of leisurely diversions including countless restaurants, shops and a number of bars and nightclubs. The area has been recently re-developed and now has a brighter newer more attractive seafront making it an ideal place to visit.
Together Qawra and Bugibba now occupy almost the entire peninsula on the east side of St. Pauls bay. More or less merging with Bugibba. Qawra is more restrained than its popular neighbour, with a choice of slightly more superior accommodation. Hotels and apartments have been mushrooming here since the 1970`s. Like Bugibba there are plenty of bars , cafes and restaurants. The rocky beach has a restaurant and plenty of facilities for water sports enthusiasts.
Sliema and St Julians resort are Malta's main coastal resort towns and a heartland for shopping, entertainment and café life. They are also key commercial and residential areas with some of Malta's newest hotels and apartments. The Sliema and St Julian's coastline is thronged with sunbathers during the peak summer months. From Qui-si-Sana in Sliema to Balluta Bay in St Julian's, it is one long stretch of rocky shore, popular none the less with sun bathers and swimmers. Steps and handrails placed every so often allow easy access to the water. There are plenty of flat rocks to spread a towel on. There is a small strip of golden sand where Sliema meets St Julian's. The sea here is deep, but generally clean, clear and safe to swim. It is also excellent for snorkelling. Some hotels along the front, especially at the St Julian's end, provide beach concessions equipped with pools, water sports and lido areas for nightlife. The favourite beach areas are: the Tigne' area, Qui si-Sana, Ghar id-Dud, the Exiles and Fond Ghadir. Some are well- known lidos or `beach clubs' though the entire coastline is for public access. The Sliema beaches become a very sociable and lively by mid-afternoon in peak summer. The promenade is excellent for long, striding walks in winter, slow strolls on summer evenings and for watching the wave drama during freak autumn storms. You will find plenty of snack bars and restaurants on the coast road and kiosks near the shoreline.
St Julians Initially a fishing village, later turned to a summer residence for wealthy locals and now developed into one of the Island's mostly fetched resorts for night life and entertainment, especially for the youngsters and the middle aged. Sliema, which means 'peace, comfort' has grown a lot from its humble beginnings as a fishing village. It is now a hotspot for tourism, shopping, restaurants hotels and cafes. Sliema's harbours are always abuzz with boaters, tourists and water lovers of all kinds. Closeby is Paceville, popular with the young at heart, a village that still retains some of its old dwellings and boat houses. In contrast, Paceville has a vibrant lively and energetic nightlife with loud music, while St Julian's has a very interesting and generally more sedate nightlife for those requiring a more relaxed nightlife.
