Mellieha is considered by many residents and visitors alike to be a rare example of a town that brings together literally everything that's wonderful about Malta. Boasting an incredible stretch of sandy coastline, a gorgeous old town and all the charm of a quaint Maltese village perched majestically above the bay, there aren't many towns that come close to being so picturesque or downright desirable. The pull of the place for annual tourist groups is of course huge, but it's also something of a desirable hotspot for wealthier local and international holiday home buyers too.
