The Riviera Resort

The lovely holiday apartments at The Barceló Riviera Resort & Spa are situated in one of the most picturesque areas in the touristic north of Malta, just across the channel from the sister islands of Gozo and Comino. The Resort enjoys a quiet and relaxing location, immersed in pristine countryside and boasting unspoilt shoreline and sea. Regular boat trips and excursions to the islands and the Blue Lagoon depart from the Marina, which is situated across the pedestrian promenade in front of the Resort.

Mellieha Bay, the island's largest sandy beach is just a couple of minutes away by car or bus. A regular public bus service connects the Resort to all major towns on the island including the historic capital Valletta, the nightspots of St. Julian's and the shopping mecca of Sliema. All areas and facilities are accessible by persons with special needs and the lack of traffic makes it particularly suitable for those seeking fresh sea and country air as well as a safe and clean environment. Most of the 200 lavishly furnished guest rooms, including a number of suites, enjoy an enchanting view of the Mediterranean Sea and the islands of Comino and Gozo. Others enjoy views of the tranquil Maltese countryside or views of the bay. All rooms have air conditioning and central heating, satellite TV, radio, direct dial telephone, mini bar, safety deposit box, data port connection and ensuite bathroom complete with hairdryer.
