The list was assembled by assembled by the European Best Destinations (EBD).
In a recent announcement by Forbes, the European Best Destinations (EBD) has revealed its coveted list of the ‘15 Most Beautiful Beaches In Europe,’ and leading the pack is none other than our picturesque island nation of Malta!
Garnering the highest number of votes from a staggering 103,224 worldwide travellers representing 116 countries, Malta's Ghajn Tuffieha Bay Beach in Mellieha has emerged as the crown jewel of European beach destinations.
Situated near the charming coastal town of Mellieha, Ghajn Tuffieha Bay Beach stands out not only for its breathtaking natural beauty but also for its unwavering commitment to sustainable tourism—a commitment duly recognised by the European Commission.
With its golden sandy shores, majestic cliffs, and remnants of ancient Roman baths, this pristine beach embodies the epitome of a sunny holiday getaway.
According to EBD, ‘this beach offers high standards of cleanliness and services. Restaurants and snack bars, sunbeds and water activities are also available’. Moreover, the beach's accessibility by ferry and boat opens up opportunities for exploring the nearby islands of Gozo and Comino, home to the famed Blue Lagoon.
Apart from our beaches, Malta was also recommended by Forbes for its myriad of outdoor activities, ranging from hiking and biking to horseback riding, paddleboarding, snorkelling, diving, and various water sports.
The capital city of Valletta, with its awe-inspiring architecture and vibrant colours, was also mentioned in the article, as well as Malta's reputation as a welcoming LGBTQ+ destination.
Ghajn Tuffieha, thank you for being so beautiful!
