Property
Malta is a fabulous destination for families. Its beautiful beaches, prehistoric temples and delectable pastizzi mean there’s a little something for everyone. Le Méridien St. Julians Hotel & Spa is one of the island’s newer hotels, located on the Barruta Bay.

Location
St. Julians has a lovely seaside promenade with shops, cafes and attractions along the water. It’s a great place for your kids to run their ya-yas out while you enjoy the view. There is also a bus stop at the foot of the hotel with lines to the island’s capital, Valetta, Mdina and the Blue Grotto.

Sleeps
The rooms in this hotel are HUGE. We easily slept 3 in a room and could have added a few more. Contact the hotel to find the right room for you.

Highlights
The hotel was spectacular. The spa is ideal for a little Mommy field trip and walks along the promenade were always entertaining.

Good to know
The hotel does have an indoor pool for rainy days. But it’s the spa’s pool. So you may feel a little weird with your kid screaming Marco Polo to soothing spa music. But the hotel has specific hours for the kids and with a little internal pep talk (and not making eye contact with adults without kids trying to relax by the pool), you can enjoy it without feeling guilty.
