Quick Takeaways
  1. 01Malta's all-inclusive resorts cluster in the north – the Mellieħa Bay–Qawra–Bugibba strip – not in Valletta or the south, which barely do all-inclusive.
  2. 02Standard all-inclusive covers buffet meals, soft drinks and local beer, wine and spirits; better resorts add à la carte nights, premium brands and transfers on an 'Inclusive Plus' upgrade.
  3. 03The big draws are pools and entertainment, not gourmet food – set expectations on buffet dining and judge resorts on the pool complex and the kids'/evening programme.
  4. 04Budget spans widely: Luna and Mellieħa Bay Hotel are the cheap-week picks; Radisson Golden Sands is the 5-star end at roughly double the price.
  5. 05All-inclusive rooms sell out first for July–August – book early, or travel June or September for the same package with warmer sea and lower rates.

db Seabank Resort and Spa

The all-round leader, and the resort to book first for an all-inclusive week. It sits right on Mellieħa Bay, Malta's largest sandy beach, and runs on a big, well-drilled all-inclusive model with over 13,000 ratings behind it.

You get six restaurants, the largest outdoor pool on the island, a children's pool with water slides, a kids' club and full evening entertainment. It's a lot of resort, so it can feel busy in peak season, but everything is included and the beach is on the doorstep.

The safe pick for a beachfront all-inclusive. Check db Seabank rates.

db San Antonio Resort

The Seabank's sister resort in central Bugibba, and the stronger pick for families who want water play. Its headline is an adventure splash park built around a giant pirate ship, alongside several pools and age-split kids' clubs.

It runs on the same all-inclusive model – meals, drinks and entertainment included – but trades a sandy beach for a central location, with Bugibba's seafront, shops and the Blue Lagoon boat jetty all walkable.

Pick it over Seabank if the splash park and a central base beat a beach. Check db San Antonio rates.

Radisson Blu Golden Sands

The 5-star end of all-inclusive in Malta, set on a cliff above Golden Bay with panoramic sea views. This is the upscale choice, with a large spa, two outdoor pools and a private beach below.

The all-inclusive package here is a notch above the mid-range resorts, and the setting – one of the island's best sandy bays, away from the resort strip – is the draw. It costs roughly double the budget options, which buys the finish and the location.

Worth it if you want all-inclusive without the package-holiday feel. Check Radisson Golden Sands rates.

Sunny Coast Resort and Spa

A long-running, popular all-inclusive in Qawra, built around its pools and a good-value package. It's a club-style resort with a strong repeat-guest following, indoor and outdoor pools and a spa.

It sits on the Qawra–St Paul's Bay seafront rather than a sandy beach, with the flat, walkable resort strip and its restaurants right there. The all-inclusive covers the essentials well without pretending to be luxury.

A solid mid-range, pool-focused choice. Check Sunny Coast rates.

Mellieha Bay Hotel

The value all-inclusive overlooking Mellieħa Bay, and a long-time favourite for families and groups after a cheap week with plenty laid on. It has two outdoor pools, an indoor pool, plus bowling, tennis and a nightclub on site.

It's older and more dated than the db resorts, but the all-inclusive is honest and the bay views and beach access make it good value. You're paying for facilities and location, not a modern finish.

Good for a budget-conscious family week by the beach. Check Mellieħa Bay Hotel rates.

Luna Holiday Complex

The cheapest pick on this list, near Mellieħa Bay, and the choice if you want all-inclusive basics done well for the lowest price. It has a rooftop pool and a Sky Lounge, with the beach and Mellieħa village close by.

It's a no-frills complex rather than a full resort, so don't expect water parks or six restaurants – but for a low-cost base with the package covered, it delivers. The savings over the bigger resorts are real.

The budget all-inclusive option. Check Luna Holiday Complex rates.

What does all-inclusive include in Malta?

The standard package covers buffet breakfast, lunch and dinner, plus soft drinks and local beer, wine and spirits through the day. That's the baseline at every resort here.

Better resorts add à la carte restaurants, themed dining nights, premium spirits and sometimes airport transfers under an 'All-Inclusive Plus' or 'Premium' tier – worth the upgrade if you'll use the à la carte options. Always check what's included before booking, as the line between standard and Plus varies by resort.

Take note
All-inclusive makes most sense if you'll actually eat and drink at the resort. If you plan to be out sightseeing or eating in Valletta and Marsaxlokk most days, half-board or B&B often works out cheaper – the all-inclusive only pays off when you use it.
Choose this if...
Book a big northern all-inclusive – db Seabank or db San Antonio – if you want the easiest week with everything laid on: meals, drinks, pools, kids' clubs and entertainment in one price, by a beach or a walkable resort strip.
Avoid this if...
Skip all-inclusive if you plan to be out most days exploring – you'll pay for meals you don't eat. And avoid the budget complexes if you want a modern finish or fine dining; all-inclusive here is about value and pools, not gourmet food.

Whichever you pick, book the family rooms and beachfront blocks months ahead for July and August – they're the first to sell out at every resort on this list.
