Porto Azzurro Aparthotel

The 3* Porto Azzurro Resort Club is where you go to escape and unwind. Draped along the waterfront in the quiet part of St. Paul’s Bay, the hotel features well-appointed apartments and a sense of space that’s makes a holiday feel even more relaxing.

All the apartments are expansive with a complete suite of amenities, including a fully-equipped kitchen with microwave oven, hob and fridge. Open the curtains to views over the beach or Malta’s northern countryside, where acres of wild green help to continue the feeling of space. You only need to walk across the road to take a dip in warm Mediterranean sea waters, and a number of different beaches are within short reach of the hotel.

Calmness reigns at the 3* Porto Azzurro Resort Club. There’s a large outdoor swimming pool and sun terrace, along with an indoor pool and fitness room. With so much space the communal areas can often feel private, particularly when you travel outside of the school holidays. Other on-site amenities include a scuba diving centre, mini-market, pizzeria, bar and restaurant. They are all tied together by good local service that comes with a laid-back Mediterranean flair.

It would be easy to stay at the hotel for a week and not leave the St. Paul’s Bay area. With its serene atmosphere and intriguing history, the small northern bay is often favoured by senior travellers wanting to escape hustle and bustle. But with the hotel situated at a bus stop it is also easy to spend a day exploring other destinations in the north, or perhaps those further afield.
