Family hotels in Malta from Meliá Hotels International include four properties across Gozo and St. Julian’s: Hotel Ben Marsalforn Affiliated by Meliá, Hotel Scirocco St. Julian's Affiliated by Meliá, Levante St. Julian’s Affiliated by Meliá and Mistral St. Julian’s Affiliated by Meliá. All feature swimming pools, giving families different bases for exploring Malta.
Choosing family hotels in Malta starts with deciding what kind of destination works best for the children’s ages and the family’s plans. Gozo offers a quieter island setting with opportunities for sightseeing and outdoor experiences, while St. Julian’s provides an urban base with convenient access to other parts of Malta.
Meliá Hotels International’s selection includes four family friendly hotels in Malta, all with swimming pools according to the profiles covered here. Rather than traditional self-contained family resorts, the properties offer different locations and hotel styles from which families can explore the islands. Room configuration, transport, children’s ages and preferred daily activities are useful factors when choosing between them.
The selection comprises one property in Gozo and three in St. Julian’s, allowing families to choose between an island setting and a more urban location.

Meliá Hotels International currently identifies Hotel Ben Marsalforn Affiliated by Meliá within its Malta operations, alongside an expanding presence across the country. Families comparing a kid friendly hotel in Malta should check the room capacity and facilities available for their specific dates.
A swimming pool can be particularly useful on a family holiday, giving children an easy activity between sightseeing days. All four properties in this selection include pools in their profiles, while Hotel Ben Marsalforn Affiliated by Meliá and Mistral St. Julian’s Affiliated by Meliá also feature heated pools.
Dedicated kids’ clubs, children’s entertainment or organised family activities are not confirmed in the supplied information for these hotels, so they should not be assumed. Parents who consider these services essential should check the current facilities before choosing their accommodation.
Room layout matters too. Families travelling with babies may need a cot, while those with older children may prioritise larger rooms or connecting accommodation where available. This is particularly relevant when comparing a traditional family resort in Malta with smaller city or boutique hotels.
The hotel can provide the base, while Malta itself supplies much of the family experience through sightseeing, outdoor activities and days exploring different parts of the islands.
Gozo offers families a more relaxed setting and a different pace from Malta’s busier urban areas. Hotel Ben Marsalforn Affiliated by Meliá is located in Marsalforn, making Gozo the option in this selection for families who want to combine hotel pool time with exploring the island.
St. Julian’s offers a more urban alternative. Hotel Scirocco St. Julian's Affiliated by Meliá, Levante St. Julian’s Affiliated by Meliá and Mistral St. Julian’s Affiliated by Meliá are all based here, providing access to the wider island and Malta’s cultural attractions.
Together, Gozo and St. Julian’s give families two distinct starting points when researching hotels in Malta, from a quieter island atmosphere to a well-connected urban stay.
Malta International Airport is the main gateway for families arriving by air. From the airport, St. Julian’s can be reached by road, while travellers continuing to Gozo need to connect with the ferry services linking the islands.
Malta’s Mediterranean climate makes family travel possible throughout much of the year. Late spring and early autumn can be especially comfortable for combining outdoor sightseeing with pool time, while summer is hotter and busier. Winters are milder than in many European destinations but can be cooler and wetter, so flexible sightseeing plans are useful.
There is no single best option because location and children’s ages can change what a family needs. Hotel Ben Marsalforn Affiliated by Meliá may appeal to families looking for Gozo and a heated pool, while the three St. Julian’s properties offer an urban base with swimming pools. The best choice depends on room requirements and planned activities.
Gozo can suit families looking for a quieter atmosphere and island exploration, while St. Julian’s provides convenient access to a wider range of urban services and connections around Malta. The Meliá Hotels International selection covered here includes accommodation in both areas, allowing parents to choose according to the pace of holiday they prefer.
Yes, Malta can work well for a family holiday, particularly for families interested in combining sightseeing, outdoor activities and time around a swimming pool. Its relatively compact geography also makes it possible to explore different areas during one trip. The ideal itinerary will depend on the children’s ages and how much travelling the family wants to do each day.
The four properties included on this page are not identified in the supplied hotel profiles as All Inclusive family resorts, so an All Inclusive board basis should not be assumed. Families specifically seeking All Inclusive accommodation should check the current board options for their travel dates before deciding.
Meliá Hotels International’s selection of family hotels in Malta on this page comprises Hotel Ben Marsalforn Affiliated by Meliá, Hotel Scirocco St. Julian's Affiliated by Meliá, Levante St. Julian’s Affiliated by Meliá and Mistral St. Julian’s Affiliated by Meliá. The four properties have swimming pools, with options across Gozo and St. Julian’s for families looking for different locations and styles of stay.

“Das Hotel liegt in einer Seitenstraße und ist dadurch angenehm ruhig. Die modernen, sehr sauberen Zimmer und der schöne Ausblick haben uns besonders gut gefallen. Das Frühstück bietet eine gute Auswahl. Kaffee und Wasser stehen im Frühstücksraum kostenlos zur Verfügung. Das gesamte Personal war freundlich und zuvorkommend. Auch die Lage ist ideal: Die Bushaltestelle ist in nur drei Minuten zu Fuß erreichbar und die Partymeile liegt ebenfalls nur wenige Gehminuten entfernt. Insgesamt ein toller Aufenthalt, bei dem alles gepasst hat!”See hotel

“Plusy + hotel w centrum blisko słynnej ulicy imprezowej, mimo tego nie odczuwa się hałasu, + blisko przystanku z którego można dojechać praktycznie wszędzie. Bilet w sezonie kosztuje 2,5 euro ważny 2 godziny, + miła obsługa, jedna z Pań jest Polką, która pomoże i wie więcej niż nie jeden rezydent (poleca świetne miejsca, restauracje itp.), + pokoje czyste, wysoki standard, + woda, kawa do dyspozycji cały czas, Minusy - śniadania przez cały pobyt te same w hotelu obok, - dwa niezależne łóżka, które się rozsuwają, można wpaść pomiędzy nie, - za oknem z jednej strony nieprzyjemne zapachy i nie miłe widoki (balkon w balkon, śmietniki itp.) przy tej architekturze na Malcie pewnie jest tak w większości, - mały basen, w hotelu obok trochę większy,”See hotel
