Practical Info
Malta uses the Euro (€) and sits one hour ahead of the UK. Flight time from the UK is typically around 3.5 hours, with transfers to St Paul’s Bay taking about 30 minutes. English is widely spoken alongside Maltese, making it an easy destination to explore independently.
St Paul’s Bay, Bugibba and Qawra together form one of Malta’s most popular coastal areas, combining rocky bathing platforms, lidos and perched beaches with family attractions, boat trips and an easy bus link to Valletta, Mdina and the island’s sandy beaches such as Golden Bay.
Hotel information, facility openings and entertainment programmes can change seasonally and without notice, so treat this as a guide rather than a guarantee. For entry rules and health guidance see the UK FCDO Spain advice.
