FAQs
Is Maritim Antonine Hotel close to Mellieha’s beach?
The hotel sits in central Mellieha, around 900m from a sand-and-shingle stretch and approximately 1km from Mellieha’s main sandy beach at Ghadira Bay. It’s downhill on the way there, so many guests choose to take a local bus or taxi back up after a day on the sand.
How long does the transfer from Malta Airport to Maritim Antonine Hotel take?
The transfer from Malta International Airport (MLA) to Maritim Antonine Hotel in Mellieha is typically around 50 minutes by shared coach transfer, depending on traffic and additional hotel stops. Private transfers can be quicker.
What board options can I book at Maritim Antonine Hotel?
You can usually choose between Room Only or Bed & Breakfast. Bed & Breakfast guests have access to the main buffet restaurant for breakfast with hot and cold options and show cooking. Lunch and dinner can be purchased on the spot at Al Ponte Pizzeria & Bistro or Les Jardins. Always check your confirmation for the exact inclusions.
Does Maritim Antonine Hotel have an adults-only area?
Yes. While the hotel is generally family-friendly, the rooftop outdoor pool is reserved for adults only (18+), giving a more peaceful space to swim and sunbathe. The main outdoor pool has a children’s section and is designed for mixed-age use.
Is there a spa at Maritim Antonine Hotel and is it included?
The hotel features an award-winning spa with sauna, steam room, heated indoor pool and a range of massage and beauty treatments. Access to the wet areas and all treatments is usually subject to a local charge and availability, so we recommend pre-booking popular time slots once you arrive.

Families benefit from the main pool’s children’s section, highchairs and kids’ menu in the buffet restaurant, and a relaxed, village-style location. Child age at this property generally goes up to 12 years. There is no formal kids’ club, so this is best suited to independent families happy to explore Mellieha and the island.
Are there accessible facilities at Maritim Antonine Hotel?
The property has lifts across its two blocks, and the reception team can arrange wheelchair or mobility scooter hire for an additional charge, subject to availability. As the hotel and resort are on a hill, there will still be gradients and some limitations. If you have specific mobility needs, speak to a Travelisto travel designer before booking so we can check suitability in detail.
Is Wi‑Fi free at Maritim Antonine Hotel?
Yes, complimentary Wi‑Fi is available throughout the hotel, including most public areas and guest rooms, so you can browse, stream or work while you’re in Malta without extra charges.
