Il Mellieħa

Il-Mellieħa is a coastal village on the northern tip of Malta, facing the Mediterranean Sea. It serves as a gateway to nearby dive sites along Malta’s northeastern coast and is known for its easy access to boat and shore diving from local centers. In Malta, most diving activity is concentrated around coastal towns and bays rather than within this inland-elevated area, and the local scene emphasizes day trips to reefs, walls, and wrecks accessible from nearby ports. Overall, the area is more notable for scenery and access to Malta’s dive hubs than for its own standalone dive sites.
