About Bugibba
This is one of the busiest holiday destination in Malta, which caters mainly for all tourists looking for a beach holiday with a lively night life.
If this is what your after, Bugibba will not disappoint, with a host of pubs, clubs and restaurants. After a night on the town, there is the added advantage of clean and clear beaches to relax and recover on during the day. If after a quiet family holiday, then this may not be the place to go, but it is central and is a good base from which to discover the rest of Malta.
The main beach is comprised mainly of flat rock, but the water is clean and crystal blue and safe for swimming and water sports. If you prefer a sandy beach, Malta's largest sandy beach is at Mellieha, which is only a short car, bus or scooter drive away. Dive the jewel of the Mediterranean. There are many family run scuba shops offering dive trips and dive classes, should you be a novice diver.
