INNSiDE by Meliá Opens Its First Malta Hotel This July

The lifestyle brand lands in Bugibba with 86 rooms, a rooftop infinity pool and three dining concepts just steps from the sea.

Malta’s hotel scene is getting a stylish new addition this summer. INNSiDE by Meliá Bugibba opens on 12 July 2026, marking the lifestyle brand’s first outpost on the island. Located in the heart of Bugibba Square and a short stroll from the seafront in St. Paul’s Bay, the 86-room property brings the brand’s contemporary, lifestyle-driven approach to one of the Mediterranean’s sunniest corners.

It’s a smart base for exploring the region, too—you’re within easy reach of Valletta’s historic streets and Malta International Airport, while the dramatic coastline and outdoor adventures are right on your doorstep. Accommodation spans eight room categories, from sea-view rooms with balconies to spacious townhouse-style suites designed for both quick breaks and longer stays.

Three Dining Concepts, One Seriously Good Rooftop

Food and drink take centre stage here. O’Luna Restaurant serves breakfast before shifting into an evening Mediterranean dining spot with soft live music, while up top, O’Sole Rooftop pairs a heated infinity pool with panoramic sea views—ideal for leisurely mornings or cocktail-fuelled evenings. Down on the piazza itself, We Proudly Deliver (WPD) is an artisanal gelato shop that’s bound to become a local favourite.

Wellness, Pets and Sustainability Built In

The two-floor InFit Gym caters to everything from strength training to stretching, and the heated rooftop pool is open year-round for those who want a sun-drenched swim with a view. INNSiDE Bugibba is fully pet-friendly, offering welcome gifts, natural dog food via room service and a local guide to nearby pet-friendly spots. Sustainability is woven throughout the property, too, with eco-conscious initiatives baked into the INNSiDE by Meliá brand philosophy—from plastic-free room collateral to organic cosmetics.

If you’re plotting a Mediterranean escape and fancy something a little different from the usual, this one’s worth bookmarking. Reservations for INNSiDE by Meliá Bugibba open now
