Southern Malta – Authentic Charm in Marsaskala & Marsaxlokk
Southern Malta offers a different kind of island experience — one filled with traditional charm, colorful harbors, and relaxed coastal living. The twin seaside towns of Marsaskala and Marsaxlokk showcase the quieter, more authentic side of Malta, where local life still moves at a Mediterranean pace.
Marsaskala sits on a long, sheltered bay surrounded by pastel-colored houses and waterfront cafés. It’s a favorite among locals for evening walks along the promenade and leisurely dinners overlooking the water. Small coves such as St. Thomas Bay and Munxar Point invite swimmers and snorkelers to enjoy the clear, calm sea. The nearby countryside trails also make it a wonderful base for exploring the rugged southern coastline.
Just a few minutes away lies the picturesque fishing village of Marsaxlokk, famous for its brightly painted luzzu boats bobbing in the harbor. Every Sunday, the village hosts a lively fish market, where you can sample the freshest catch of the day at one of the many seafood restaurants lining the waterfront. The harbor’s serene beauty, framed by colorful boats and church spires, has made Marsaxlokk one of Malta’s most photographed spots.
For nature lovers, the nearby St. Peter’s Pool is a must-see — a natural rock pool with crystal-clear waters perfect for cliff diving or simply relaxing under the sun.
Staying in the south gives visitors the chance to experience real Maltese life — peaceful, welcoming, and rich in flavor. Whether you’re seeking seaside tranquility, fresh seafood, or scenic walks, this region delivers all three. For comfort and convenience, EasyStays.mt
