"Amazing Hotel. From the helpful staff to the rooftop pool to the gym/sauna/steam room. Everything was great. My room was a city facing view that looked over at the Lido so it was sometimes a bit loud from the dinner buffet events they had on, but otherwise a really great clean hotel. Roof top pool is a decent size with plenty of sunbeds and umbrellas. I didn't use the second pool as it was always full with the families/kids which helped keep the rooftop generally chill. The restaurant is great with plenty of options and lots of GF options too which was great including complimentary bread and dessert options."

Corinthia Palace Malta

10/10 Excellent
"I don’t know where to begin about how great this hotel is. Staff, rooms, pool area all amazing. No issues with insufficient beds at the pool. There is a buzzer on the parasol for ordering food and drink. Rooms are spacious, beds are comfortable with lovely bedding. Toiletries included in bathrooms with fluffy towels, dressing gowns and slippers. They even provided sparkly and cake when they discovered it was a birthday trip. The hotel location is perfect. 15 mins from the airport, but within easy reach of all main resorts. We used ‘Bolt’ to get around the islands. They were very cheap and totally reliable. ( recommended by hotel staff). It was €12 to Valletta and €10 to sliema. The bus service is available, but The taxi was preferable for us. The area around the hotel doesn’t have restaurants and bars, but everything else about the hotel, and amazing staff, more than compensated for that."

Frequently asked questions

What is the best area to stay in Lija?
The best area to stay in Lija is around the Parish Church of Our Saviour, as this is the historic and social heart of the village.This central area is characterised by its traditional Maltese architecture, with narrow, winding streets and honey-coloured limestone buildings. The Parish Church, a prominent landmark, is surrounded by a few local shops, cafes, and the well-maintained Lija Belvedere Tower and gardens. It's a very peaceful part of the village, offering a true sense of local life.For couples seeking a relaxing and authentic Maltese experience, staying near the Parish Church is ideal. You'll enjoy quiet evenings, strolls through the charming streets, and easy access to the village's main points of interest. It's a great base for unwinding and experiencing Maltese culture away from more bustling tourist areas.While Lija itself is a small, residential village, its central location within Malta makes it a convenient base for exploring the island by car.
When is the best time to go to Lija?
The best time to visit Lija is during the spring (April to June) and autumn (September to October) months.During spring, the weather is pleasantly warm, with average temperatures ranging from 18°C to 25°C.

It's a great time for couples seeking a comfortable and picturesque visit without the peak season crowds.Autumn also offers comfortable temperatures, typically between 20°C and 28°C, and the sea remains warm enough for swimming until late October. This season provides a good balance of agreeable weather and fewer tourists compared to the summer. Foodies might particularly enjoy autumn, as it coincides with local harvest festivals and offers opportunities to sample fresh seasonal produce.While summer (July and August) is hot and sunny, with temperatures often exceeding 30°C, it's also the busiest and most expensive time to visit.
