4.9/5 on the booking partner
Sweethaven was built for a single film in 1979 and nobody ever took it down. It sits in a sheltered, swimmable bay in the north of Malta, and it earns its keep with young children more than with adults chasing the islands’ older history. Tickets, photos and everything nearby are below.
What the place actually is
Three things worth knowing before you book.
The film set
A real 1979 film set
Built for Robert Altman's musical Popeye and left standing once the cameras stopped.
The bay
A sheltered, swimmable cove
Anchor Bay is calm enough to swim in, which turns a walk around a set into a morning out.
Who it suits
Best for young families
Children under about ten get more from it than adults chasing Malta's older history.
Popeye Village in pictures
Plan your visit
Three pages that cover the rest: what to expect, how to get there, and the questions people actually ask.
Water attractions in Malta, then the rest
The order below is deliberate. Boat trips, diving and the sea caves come first, then the beaches and swimming spots, then everything else the islands are worth giving a day to.
Where a card below carries a score or a price, both belong to the booking partner selling it, read on 3 September 2026. This site hosts no reviews and collects no ratings of its own, and partner prices move, so treat them as approximate.

Valletta · On the water
Grand Harbour cruise
Valletta and its bastions read properly only from a deck. A tour boat does that, and so does the commuter ferry.

North · On the water
Ċirkewwa dive site
The shore dive everyone in the north does first: wrecks within swimming distance and water you can usually see through.

Comino · On the water
Santa Marija Caves
Sea caves on Comino's north shore, snorkelled or dived off the side of a boat rather than reached from land.

Comino · Coast & swimming
Blue Lagoon, Comino
The water everyone has already seen a photograph of. Timing, and how you get out there, decide whether it delivers.

North · Coast & swimming
Mellieħa Bay (Għadira)
The big shallow sweep of sand closest to Anchor Bay. Kind to small children, and packed once the season starts.
From €25

Comino · Coast & swimming
Crystal Lagoon
Deeper, darker and far quieter than its neighbour, and reachable only from the deck of a boat.

Gozo · Towns & villages
Gozo day trip
Slower and greener than Malta, one short ferry away. Whether a single day does it justice, and what you give up.

South coast · Towns & villages
Marsaxlokk
A harbour that still fishes, painted boats and all. Sunday is the market, which is either the point or the problem.
3.4(14)From €10

Mdina & Rabat · Historic sites
Mdina & Rabat
Walled, almost traffic free, and genuinely quiet once the coaches go. Come at dawn or after dark, and give Rabat an hour.

The Three Cities
Older than Valletta, across the harbour and far emptier. Arrive on the little ferry rather than by road.

The north's indoor answer when the sea is off. Small by world standards, but it buys an afternoon with children.

Swimming off flat rock, a seafront you can walk end to end, and the cheapest boat ride on the islands into Valletta.
