Modern Penthouse Retreat with Rooftop City Views

Summary:

Experience Mellieħa from above — this stunning penthouse apartment on the top floor of a modern building offers an exceptional rooftop terrace with sweeping city views, making it one of the most unique stays in northern Malta. Sleeping up to 4 guests across two bedrooms, it's the perfect retreat for a couple or small family looking for something a cut above the ordinary. With modern interiors, a fully equipped kitchen, private ensuite, and that show-stopping terrace, this is your elevated home base for exploring the very best of Malta.



The Space:

This top-floor penthouse combines sleek, modern design with warm wood and marble tones, tile floors, and bright, carefully chosen furnishings throughout. The open-plan living and kitchen area is fully equipped — oven, stovetop, fridge, dishwasher, full cutlery and crockery, washing machine — with a flat screen TV for relaxed evenings in. The double bedroom benefits from its own private ensuite shower, while the twin room is served by a second full bathroom just steps away. But the true star of this penthouse is the private rooftop terrace — a generous outdoor space that sets this apartment apart from anything else in the building. Whether you're enjoying a long breakfast in the morning sun, sipping wine as the sky turns golden, or simply soaking in the panoramic city views, the terrace is where the magic happens. There is nothing quite like having your own rooftop slice of Malta.



Guest Access:

The entire penthouse is yours — fully private, with no shared living spaces. Building access is via intercom, and the apartment itself uses a smart electronic lock for seamless, flexible self-check-in. Arrive at any hour, entirely on your own terms.



The Neighborhood:

Mellieħa is a traditional and authentic Maltese village with a main street lined with restaurants, bars, cafés and shops — everything you need within easy walking distance. Għadira Bay, Malta's longest beach at 800 metres of white sand and clear shallow water, is around 30 minutes on foot or a quick hop on the local bus — very convenient for a spontaneous beach day. History lovers can explore the Mellieħa Air Raid Shelter, a remarkable WWII underground complex dug by hand that stretches over 500 metres at a depth of 12 metres. Just a short drive away, Popeye Village in Anchor Bay is a former film set turned theme park, while the Blue Lagoon on Comino island is easily accessible from Mellieħa, being much closer to the Gozo Channel than resorts further south. The iconic Red Tower offers panoramic views over the entire northern peninsula, including Gozo and Comino — especially breathtaking at sunset.



Getting Around:

Malta's bus network runs through Mellieħa, providing easy connections to the beach, Popeye Village, and the rest of the island, including regular services into Valletta. Buses pass through Mellieħa regularly since it sits on the route toward the Gozo ferry terminal, making day trips to Gozo straightforward. For those renting a car, street parking is available near the apartment — and having wheels gives you the freedom to explore hidden bays, Golden Bay, and the quieter corners of northern Malta at your own pace. The airport is around 30–40 minutes by car.



Other Things to Note:

Self‑Check‑In, Eco Tax & Guest Portal:

This is a self‑check‑in holiday home. Your unique access code will be available in your Guest Portal once the eco tax has been paid and your Self Check‑In Form completed. Codes activate at 3:00 PM, our official check‑in time. If you’d like to drop off luggage earlier, send us a quick message and we’ll confirm if it’s possible, depending on our cleaning schedule. This is a very popular holiday home and our housekeeping team needs 5–6 hours to prepare the property to a high standard, so your understanding is appreciated. Once your booking is confirmed, our Guest Experience Team will be in touch and you can choose your preferred way to communicate with us; our phone number is also available in the Guest Portal if you’d like to speak to someone directly.



Submitting your eco tax online:

Eco tax, in line with Malta’s Environmental Contribution regulations, must be paid securely via our online payment link before arrival. A secure payment link is sent to you upon booking confirmation. For a smooth arrival, we recommend submitting your payment on the day you book, so you can then complete your Self Check‑In Form and gain access to our Guest Portal to start planning your stay.
