Latest reviews on Qala's beaches

Paradise Bay
10 Zara Charska

This is my preferred beach in Malta. It has clean, fine sand and the water is incredibly clear. They offer all the necessary facilities for free, including showers, toilets, and changing rooms. The restaurant is excellent, with a friendly and professional staff. The food is truly delicious, especially their paella on Sundays and public holidays. The prices are reasonable as well. You have the option to either rent a sunbed and umbrella or bring your own. Additionally, there are a few trees that provide natural shade.

Ramla Beach
10 Avery Gardner

What an absolutely stunning coastline! During our visit in March of 2022, we were pleasantly surprised to find the beach relatively unpopulated. The convenience of available parking and complimentary public restrooms made our visit all the more enjoyable. With a handful of picnic tables scattered throughout, we were able to relax and bask in the warmth of the sun while listening to the soothing sound of the waves crashing against the shore. It's worth noting that Ramla, the beach's name of Arabic origin, translates to sand - a fitting description for the endless stretch of yellow sand that awaits you.

This charming and welcoming beach is a true gem. Its secluded location ensures a serene and peaceful environment, perfect for a refreshing swim. The water temperature is ideal, especially during the pleasant month of November. This little slice of heaven is simply unparalleled. 🌊🌴

Ghadira Bay
8 Riya Kandpal.

This public beach offers all the amenities you could ask for, including restrooms, showers, and fast-food stands. You can even rent a sunbed with a sunshade for ultimate relaxation. While the sea is warm and inviting, there may be some litter during high tide. The only downside is the sunbed renters who start packing up as early as 4 pm, causing a lot of noise and disturbance until 6 pm. Despite this, the beach is still a great spot to soak up the sun and enjoy the ocean.

Blue Lagoon beach

This place is absolutely stunning! It's definitely one of the most beautiful beaches around, but be prepared for crowds. The snorkelling here is fantastic and the pineapple cocktails are a hit with everyone. If you're visiting Malta, it's definitely worth a visit, but don't expect a peaceful and quiet experience.
