From a guest room's private balcony you look over Mellieħa's village square to its Baroque-style church, with the sea in the distance. You get a Maltese village on your doorstep and a spa under the same roof.
Hotel, Mellieħa. Meridian Dispatch.
Yes. The hotel accepts guests aged 16 and over, and its rooms, pools and spa are set up for adult stays in the centre of the village.

Yes. Free parking spaces are available within the same square as the hotel, and cars can drive up to the door. Guests without a car have a bus stop about 100 metres away.
Yes. Malta's biggest sandy beach, Għadira Bay, lies in Mellieħa, the same locality as the hotel. Buses on route 250 terminate beside the bay, which has sunbeds and umbrellas.

Check-in at Lure Hotel & Spa is after 14.00, and guests check out before 11.00. Breakfast is served until 10.00, an hour before the check-out time.
Lure Hotel & Spa is on Mellieħa's village square, in the north of Malta. The building is new and modern. Għadira Bay, the largest sandy beach in Malta, is in the same locality.
The infinity pool is on the roof, with views over the Mediterranean and the church. A second pool is indoors, and the on-site spa offers massages and facials.
Outdoor space depends on the room you book. The largest is the Grand Suite, at 95 square metres, with a four-poster emperor bed. Its private terrace adds 30 square metres and an outdoor hot tub.
Rooms with roll-in showers and accessible features suit guests with reduced mobility.
The hotel holds One MICHELIN Key, awarded in 2025 and again in 2026.
Two options get you from Malta International Airport to the hotel: ask the hotel to arrange a personal driver, or take the hourly Airport Direct TD1 bus to Mellieħa. The bus needs no reservation, and you pay on board.
Check-in is after two in the afternoon and check-out before eleven in the morning. Breakfast runs from half past seven to ten.
Both pools keep the same hours, eight in the morning to eight at night, and towels and loungers are free.
The hotel's restaurant, The Core, serves food indoors and on a terrace overlooking the square. It is closed on Tuesdays.
Go to Għadira Bay for a day on the sand. It has sunbeds, umbrellas and water sports rentals, and bus route 250 ends at a roundabout next to it.
For Gozo, take the TD1 on to the ferry port at Ċirkewwa. Ferries leave as often as every half hour in daytime, but check the seasonal timetable for your dates. Drivers use a separate boarding area.
Nearest first, all within 38 minutes on foot from the door.

Mellieħa Bay
On Malta's largest sandy beach, you can wade a long way out with the sea still shallow, in a wide north coast bay below the hilltop town of Mellieħa.
Anchor Bay
Two things bring you to this small cove: a clear look at the wooden Popeye film set on its shore, and a swim off the rocks on the far side.

Lure Hotel & SpaThings to do
The town
Mellieħa sits on a ridge above Malta's largest sandy beach, at the north end of the island. Golden Bay, the Popeye set and the boats to Comino are each a short ride away.
Yes, for a quiet base above the sand and the Comino boats; not if you want Valletta every day.
