Malta's paradise beaches

The Paradise Bay

The small sandy beach offers a beautiful spot for snorkeling and a stunning view of the two other main islands Comino and Gozo. The natural caves make the heart beat faster in the adventurous, and the beach parties on the weekends attract many young tourists as well.

The Golden Bay

If you are looking to relax with your boat rental in Malta, then the Golden Bay is the ideal place to visit. Fine sand and some picturesque rocks, surrounded by small restaurants and cafes offering the best food on the coast.

Ghajn Tuffieha Bay

Not far from Golden Bay is Ghajn Tuffieha Bay. Just a few steps from the previous one, this cove is much more pristine and less crowded than other beaches. The beach is narrow, but there is an excellent snorkeling area where you can explore the underwater world and its native marine life.

Charter a boat in Malta in Sliema and visit the neighboring islands first. 

The small island of Comino is a popular destination for those looking for day trips. Especially famous is the Blue Lagoon, located between the island of Malta and Gozo. This cove offers the most crystal clear waters in the region, reminiscent of a real swimming pool. The waters are calm, and for those who love swimming, it is possible to reach the islet of Cominotto by water, where there is a beach and some caves to explore. Being one of the most popular destinations in the country, it is usually crowded during the weekends, so a private boat rental is perfect to get to know the Blue Lagoon with exclusivity. Or, make a stop at the lesser known Crystal Lagoon, right next door, which is usually more deserted because it doesn't have a beach, perfect to arrive by boat and take a nice swim.

Only half an hour's crossing from Malta is Gozo, an island rising out of the sea with green hills and steep slopes. A true paradise for divers, cyclists and adventurers. The coastal landscape offers magnificent views over the clear turquoise sea.

What is there to discover in Gozo?

Through a small entrance, you arrive at Xlendi Bay. Because it is loved by beachgoers, the anchoring of the boat is done at a short distance from the beach. This beautiful bay invites you for a day of snorkeling and sunbathing. If you want to stretch your legs a bit, you can take a short walk to the Xlendi Tower and the impressive sandstone rocks.

Another good anchorage, which is also suitable for staying overnight, is Dwejra Bay. This cove, whose sea has a depth of seven to eight meters, is ideal for swimming and diving. The best place to dive is through the wonderful sea caves under the Blue Window. From the beach you can also easily walk over the rock formations to this beautiful natural monument.

A third bay that is a must stop when hiring a boat in Malta is Ramla Bay. It is located about one nautical mile to the east. The beach has reddish parts of the sand, which is why the locals gave it the name: Red Sand Beach. A great experience on your boat tour in Malta!
