Best Family Suite Hotels in Malta for Summer 2026

Why families love The Phoenicia Malta

We booked the Phoenicia because it was the only Maltese 5-star that took our 30kg Labrador without a fuss. The gardens were the dealbreaker. Our dog could walk off-leash in a fenced section while the kids used the pool. Staff brought a bowl to our room on arrival. The historic wing rooms are quirky but big enough for a family of four plus the crate.

Why families love The Westin Dragonara Resort

We booked the one-bedroom suite with the sea-view balcony and it paid for itself by day two. Kids slept in the proper bedroom with blackout blinds, we watched the Malta ferries from the living room couch. The Westin Kids Club took the six-year-old for two hours a morning which is when the spa becomes affordable. The Cave Beach Pool is a natural rock formation filled with seawater, genuinely unique, and shallow enough for the four-year-old.

Why families love AX ODYCY Hotel

Booked the connecting family rooms and the staff left both keys at check-in without us asking, which tells you how often they do this. The water slide on the roof is the best thing on the island for an eight-year-old. We ate half-board and the kids' buffet was actual kids food (pasta, chicken nuggets, fruit) rather than a tiny version of adult food. Sea access is rocky lido style, so bring swim shoes.

Why families love The Gomerino Hotel

We stayed for four nights with two kids aged 6 and 9 and this was the best base we could have asked for in Valletta. The family room has a proper double bed in the main room and two singles in a separate alcove, not ideal for babies but perfect for older kids. Breakfast on the rooftop includes pastizzi (the local Maltese pastry) which the kids demanded every morning. Saint John's Co-Cathedral is a five-minute walk, the Upper Barrakka Gardens are even closer.

Why families love Hilton Malta

Hilton was practical. Predictable rooms, predictable breakfast, four pools so the kids never queued, and crucially a fenced garden off the lobby where we could let the dog run. The dog fee was 40 euros a night which felt high, but the room cleaning afterwards was thorough enough that we didn't feel judged. The kids club doesn't accept pets obviously, but the dog stayed in the room when staff said it was OK and nobody complained.

Why families love Corinthia Palace Malta

The strongest base for a family golf trip. The pool has a shallow ledge for toddlers, the gardens are pram-flat across the whole grounds, and the breakfast room sets out highchairs without prompting. Walking distance to the San Anton Botanical Gardens (free entry, peacocks roaming, brilliant for kids). Reception arranges Royal Malta tee times directly.

Why families love The Embassy Valletta Hotel

Best for families who want walking-distance Valletta sightseeing alongside the golf morning. Rooms are quiet despite the central location (thick stone walls, double-glazed windows), the rooftop pool is small but has a paddling section, and the breakfast spread is generous. Reception arranges Royal Malta tee times and books the harbour ferry to Vittoriosa for non-golf days.

Why families love Ramla Bay Resort

Went full family suite for a week and had zero regrets. Two proper bedrooms with doors, a shared bathroom and a small living area, plus the balcony is huge. Half-board plan worked well because the kids ate at 6pm in the buffet restaurant and we ate at 8pm on the terrace once they were asleep. The private beach is small but sandy, rare for Malta, and the water stays shallow a long way out.

Why families love Urban Valley Resort & Spa

The valley setting made it the quietest spot we stayed on Malta. No scooters, no nightclub thud at 2am. Our baby slept through. The kitchenette let us heat formula and warm dinner food without leaving the room. Pool shallow end was perfect for baby-first-swim. Staff helped us arrange a car hire to St Julian's for the evenings out, which meant we kept the peaceful grounds for baby sleep.

Why families love Palazzo Pisani Boutique Hotel & Spa Malta

The contrast pick of the five. Żabbar is calm, residential and away from the tourist crowds, which suits families who want their golf morning without the seafront noise. The courtyard pool is small and shaded, family suites have a separate sitting area for cots, and breakfast is served in the palazzo's vaulted dining room.

Why families love DoubleTree by Hilton Malta

The Qawra seafront promenade outside became our daily stroller loop, flat enough for nap pushes and with benches every 50 metres. Hotel had the cot and bed rail set up before we arrived and breakfast had a proper high chair with straps. Babysitting booking was hassle-free, and we used it twice to have adult dinners on the promenade. Mellieha sand beach 10 minutes drive in the car they booked for us.

Why families love be.HOTEL

We wanted St Julian's nightlife-adjacent without being in it, and be.HOTEL delivered exactly that. Our upper floor room got almost no street noise and the cot was already set up when we checked in. The baby-food corner at breakfast saved us carrying purees from home. Babysitting was via the reception team directly, which felt safer than a third-party app. Stroller fits the lift, pram fits the lobby.

Why families love Hotel Valentina

Price point made Valentina a last-minute booking that turned out brilliantly. Family suite had a proper wall between baby and parent area, which mattered for bedtime. Courtyard pool is small but fenced and quiet even in peak hours. Dobbie Street pedestrian-only outside meant no car horns during nap time. Honest 3-star feel but set up for babies better than most 4-stars we have tried.

Why families love Grands Suites Hotel and Spa Sliema

Booked the two-bedroom apartment for a week and cooked breakfast every morning which saved us around €70 a day. Two proper bedrooms with doors, a full-size sofa bed in the living room, a washing machine that we used three times. The location is ideal if you want the Sliema food scene without paying Sliema room rates. Kids loved the Sliema to Valletta ferry, €2.50 each way, and the pool is on the 10th floor with a panoramic sea view.

Why families love Salini Resort

The kids pool was a hit for our 20-month-old, shallow enough for him to sit without a float and fenced from the main pool. We borrowed their pram for a day and it was newer than ours at home. The balcony room let our baby nap to the sound of the sea while we sat outside. Breakfast was long, slow and baby-paced. Staff remembered her name by day two.

Why families love Verdi St George's Bay Marina

Best value for families who want golf and a proper pool day. The outdoor pool is full size with a shallow end, the marina walk leads straight to the lido swim ladder at St George's Bay (sandy beach 5 minutes further), and family rooms sleep four with two double beds. Reception arranges Royal Malta tee times and the airport transfer fits a child seat on request.

Why families love Spinola Hotel

Spinola was the cheap option that turned out to be the warmest. The owner remembered our dog's name from booking and had a water bowl ready in the room. No pet fee, no fuss. The room was simple but big enough for a travel cot and a dog crate. Walking distance to family restaurants on the bay. The downside: small dogs only and no pool, so we used the seafront swimming areas.

Why families love Alexandra Hotel

The budget pick, and one we genuinely recommend if you want to spend the savings on green fees rather than the room. Rooms are simple but spotless, the rooftop pool is small but has shade in the morning, and the location is the best in St Julian's for walking to dinner with kids. Reception books Royal Malta tee times. Don't expect spa-level finishes; expect honest value.
