An apartment-style resort in Qawra built around a big pool complex with a small slide area, made for families who want the freedom of self-catering. Having a kitchenette changes the game with young children: early breakfasts, warmed bottles, simple pasta nights in. The Qawra promenade, aquarium and restaurants are a short walk, so you get flexibility without being cut off.
Our verdict
The flexible, good-value pick for families who love self-catering. Kitchenettes plus a big pool make longer stays with little ones far easier.
The rooms
Self-catering studios and one and two-bedroom apartments with kitchenettes, a real plus with fussy eaters and babies. Two-bedroom units give parents a separate room, and there is proper space to spread out for a week.
