Hi everyone,

My wife and I have decided to relocate to Malta from Ireland. I have recently been offered a job that we agreed on taking and are now looking for the best place to live given our situation. My job would be based in the Skyparks Business Center and we want to opt for a plaice that would give us a quiet life (maybe some, but not too much night life) with access to a child friendly beach which for us is a sandy beach and if possible reasonably close to my work place.

We have been to Malta many times and we always went to Mellieha or Gzira so knowing Mellieha we thought this would be ideal to meet our requirements but that was before we found out that the job would be located near the airport.

I'd be grateful if I can have your thoughts on the following;

1- Would we be crazy to still consider Mellieha having my work plaice at the in the Skyparks Business Center in terms of distance, I would be driving?

2- We only found one close location that can meet our requirements which is Birzebbuga but are a bit concerned about the noise from plains low flying over us or the port also close by. Should we worry about that ?

3- Any other location suggestion?

Any input would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers,
Sergio

1. up to you in terms of driving the island isnt really that big its about the size of greater london ....if your driving mellieha could be a nice place however be aware that traffic is a major problem here and the roads are not the best
2.Birzebuggia is lovely and you don't really notice the plane noise (well at least i havent when i have been there)
3 another place to consider would be marsaxlokk its just round the corner from birzebuggia and there is a little sandy beach that doesnt get too busy聽 which you could use, the noisest day is Sunday but that's due to the market


the only thing is would say about the south of the island there isnt much in the terms of night life , that tends to be around the paceville/stjulians area but there are pubs and restaurants聽 in all three places

come out and take a look around and decide whats best for you guys though , dont book long term property without seeing it and its important you check out all the locations concerened first,

I personally think that Birzebbuga is a dump, but some people on here like it, so it's all down to personal opinion. I wouldn't want to live with this on my doorstep though. And the irony is, it's called "Pretty Bay". I wouldn't want to see ugly.

I had assumed pretty bay was an ironic name for it ... lol

You might be right!!聽

I presumed, or maybe even hoped that it was named a couple of hundred years ago before that great ugly monstrosity was built. But you never know. It's certainly not Barbados though, I can't see Simon Cowell changing his Christmas holiday plans and going there instead.

Marsascala, what else聽
I'm also working at the airport, takes me only about 15 minutes by car (motorcycle even faster), almost no traffic even in the morning, plenty of parking in the South聽
There are buses also (esp. X5 which takes about 20-30 minutes from M'scala to the airport), but I refuse to use them on principle聽

25.+26. April is an event ""at the here, good opportunity to check the location聽



And we also have the here ... with heated indoor pool for the winter months and outdoor Family area for the summer聽
