Check your listing for the nearest amenities and access details.
A car is often helpful in Santa Maria Estate because the area sits above Mellieha’s main center and is better suited to guests who plan to explore the north of Malta.

From Santa Maria Estate, you are well placed to explore Mellieha’s main attractions, nearby coves, and the quieter northern part of Malta.
