A place to stay in SPB 3256 St. Paul's Bay
Gillieru Harbour Hotel sits directly on the waterfront in St. Paul's Bay, a coastal town on Malta's north-west shore. The four-star property has a beachfront position, an outdoor pool, a spa and wellness centre, a restaurant, and a bar — enough to keep most guests on-site when they want to be. Rooms start from €121 and the hotel accepts pets. An airport shuttle is available.

Beachfront setting on the bay
The hotel sits directly on the waterfront in St. Paul's Bay. Outdoor furniture and a sun deck face the water, and the beach is accessible from the property. The position is the clearest reason guests return.
Outdoor pool and sun deck
The outdoor pool sits alongside a dedicated sun deck with outdoor furniture. It gives guests an alternative to the beach on days when they prefer a contained swim.
Spa and wellness centre
The on-site spa and wellness centre handles treatments for guests who want something beyond the pool. The Double Room with Spa Bath is the obvious pairing for a longer wellness-focused stay.
Room options and sea-view grades
Five room categories let guests choose their outlook — from an economy twin to a queen-bed room with full sea view or a double with a private spa bath. Each room has air conditioning, free Wi-Fi, and a tea and coffee maker.
