Exploring Bugibba in St Paul’s Bay.
Located close to St Paul's Bay, Bugibba is one of Malta’s most lively seaside destinations. Known for its long promenade, sea views, and variety of restaurants and attractions, Bugibba is a popular area for families, couples, and travelers exploring Malta.
If you’re staying in our apartment or nearby, you’ll find several interesting places within walking distance that make Bugibba a great area to explore. From relaxing by the sea to discovering local attractions, here are four highlights worth visiting.
Bugibba Perched Beach.
One of the most popular seaside spots in the area is Bugibba Perched Beach. Unlike natural sandy beaches, this beach was specially created with a raised platform and imported sand to provide a comfortable place for visitors to relax by the sea.
The beach is easily accessible from the Bugibba promenade and offers beautiful views across St Paul’s Bay. During the summer months, visitors can enjoy swimming in the clear Mediterranean waters, sunbathing on the sand, or relaxing under umbrellas.
Facilities nearby include cafés, restaurants, showers, and public amenities, making it a convenient spot for both locals and tourists.
Bugibba Water Park (Summer Fun for Kids).
A favourite attraction for families visiting in summer is the Bugibba Water Park. This colourful splash park is designed especially for children and is located close to the seafront promenade.
The water park usually operates during the warmer months, typically from June until the end of September, when Malta’s temperatures are at their highest.
Children can enjoy running through fountains, water sprays, and playful splash features, making it a refreshing activity during hot summer days. Parents can relax nearby while kids cool off and have fun.
Because of its central location, the water park is often combined with a walk along the promenade or a visit to nearby restaurants and cafés.

Bugibba Square – The Heart of the Area.
Another key location in the area is Bugibba Square, a lively meeting point surrounded by restaurants, bars, cafés, and entertainment.
During the day, the square is a relaxed place to stop for coffee or enjoy lunch after a walk by the sea. In the evening, it becomes more vibrant as visitors gather for dinner, drinks, and entertainment.
Many restaurants here offer outdoor seating, allowing visitors to enjoy the warm Mediterranean evenings and watch the lively atmosphere around the square.
Bugibba Square is also a good starting point for exploring the surrounding streets filled with shops, souvenir stores, and tour operators offering boat trips and island excursions.
