A Secluded And Romantic Beach Everyone Needs To Visit

Date Last Updated: 20th June 2020

Paradise Bay Beach Malta, one of Malta's most spectacular beaches, which is located at the islands farthest north point very close to Mellieha Bay. In our opinion this is one of the most beautiful beaches on the island.

The paradise beach is unique as it is at the bottom of very high cliffs and it overlooks the beautiful islands of Gozo and Comino Island. It is very much visited by locals and tourists especially during summer.

Also at this beautiful spot is the Paradise Bay hotel which overlooks the bay. The ferry is located just beyond the hotel where the boat berths and services the regular and frequent crossings between the two islands.

To get to the beach, there are a hundred steps before reaching the secluded and small sandy beach. The long flight of steps down will make the descent well worth it.

The bay offers a variety of facilities, including sunbeds and umbrellas. You can stay on the sandy area or under built decks. A restaurant is available every day and night for you to enjoy a pleasant meal.
