Mellieha village developed under British colonization after the British encouraged people to settle in the area by giving leases to the population.. The town has retained its historic centre with narrow streets and stepped alleys, and an underground chapel with frescoes said to have been painted by St Luke. The beach is the largest in Malta and offers good swimming with gently shelving sand. The north east breezes make it popular for windsurfing. Many of our villas are located in the estate of Santa Maria which enjoys great views over the bay. A good choice of shops, restaurants and entertainment can also be found in this resort.

The idyllic hamlet of Bidnija, the second smallest village in Malta, is located between two sweeping valleys in the heart of Malta. It is still largely a farmer's village since it is entirely surrounded by fields which mainly belong to the inhabitants themselves, although in recent years many have moved here in order to enjoy the quiet life amidst the countryside. It makes a perfect base for exploring the more rural side of the island. A pretty chapel is located in the village centre, dedicated to the Holy Family of Nazareth, also not far is the famous Mosta Dome, the third largest unsupported dome in Europe.

Zebbug

Zebbug still has a village like charm although its ‘town status’ was granted in 1777. Zebbug means olives, and in the past, olive oil was produced here, then later in the 19th century, sailcloth for the British Navy. The lavish and beautiful, baroque church of St Philip located in the town square is worth a visit. The town was bestowed with the title of Città Rohan by Grandmaster Emmanuel de Rohan-Polduc in 1777. As was the custom in such events, the people of Zebbug built an archway at the entrance to their home town by way of marking the incipiency of its status as a city. The gateway, known by the locals as "Il-Bieb il-Gdid" or New Gateway still stands today. It is quite sleepy and offers an insight to the old way of life. Limestone houses line the streets and pavements are adorned with benches so you can sit, relax and people watch. The Blue Grotto is a popular attraction and is just a short drive away.
