AX ODYCY
Saga Hosted Hotels
You’ll be spoiled for choice at this freshly renovated hotel overlooking Salina Bay on Malta’s northeast coast. Its four restaurants range from fine a la carte dining to relaxed buffet service, and with numerous bars and lounges, two adults-only swimming pools and spectacular views from the rooftop terrace – you’ll never need to leave. But maybe an eight-minute stroll to the nearby rocky beach will tempt you out? Cool off in the summer months with a dip in the sea (accessed by a ladder) or take a 30-minute bus ride to the town of Mellieha, the largest beach on the island.
