Villa Beurling | 5-Bedroom Villa with Private Pool in Mellieħa

Mellieha, Malta’s northernmost town, sits where the Mediterranean horizon becomes your daily backdrop. Villa Beurling occupies the quieter slopes of Santa Maria Valley, positioning you within 35 minutes of international arrivals yet worlds away from tourist congestion. This five-bedroom villa sleeps 12 guests across multiple floors, each with its own en-suite facilities and direct terrace access, making it one of the region’s most capable properties for extended family gatherings and multi-generational holidays.

Inside Villa Beurling

Villa Beurling sleeps 12 guests across 5 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms, arranged vertically across three distinct levels. The ground floor opens into an expansive living zone where family dinners happen around a wooden table seating eight, while a separate lounge area features deep seating, Bluetooth speakers, and a wall-mounted flat-screen television for evening entertainment. The kitchen runs the full width of this level—white cabinetry and polished surfaces, complete with dishwasher, microwave, oven, hob, and the kind of coffee machine that separates a good morning from a truly memorable one. A discrete guest WC and laundry facilities occupy the service corner, meaning parents can manage domestic needs without disrupting main living spaces.

The lower ground floor houses three bedrooms. The master bedroom contains a substantial double bed, built-in storage, wall-mounted television, and an en-suite bathroom featuring a walk-in shower and single basin. Adjacent to this space, the first twin bedroom holds two single beds, floor-to-ceiling wardrobes, television access, and its own walk-in shower room. A third twin bedroom on this level features a wooden dressing table, individual side tables, television, and access to a shared walk-in shower bathroom. This floor functions as the villa’s primary sleeping domain, with pool access just steps away via a short staircase.

The sub-lower ground floor contains two additional twin bedrooms, each with en-suite walk-in shower rooms, televisions, and independent basins. This layout means multiple family groups can occupy the villa without ever sharing bathroom facilities—a significant practical advantage for larger parties. Throughout every bedroom, you’ll find climate-controlled environments via integrated air-conditioning systems, and Wi-Fi connectivity ensures nobody remains entirely disconnected unless they choose to.

Outdoor Spaces and Living

The privately heated swimming pool—measuring 7.26 metres by 3.54 metres—becomes the villa’s social epicentre. Ten cream cushioned sunbeds radiate around the deck, paired with umbrellas that track the sun’s movement across the Maltese sky. A dedicated pool shower and WC eliminate the need for wet footprints throughout interior spaces. The pool heating option (charged separately) extends the comfortable swimming season well beyond summer months, allowing April and October visitors genuine leisure time in the water rather than merely aesthetic appreciation of it.

The dining terrace overlooks Santa Maria Valley to the south, its built-in barbecue suggesting evening meals prepared outdoors while watching the light shift from gold to amber to violet. This arrangement—entertaining space directly connected to cooking facilities—eliminates the isolation that detaches outdoor dining from kitchen preparation. The terrace functions as a genuine extension of living space, not merely ornamental deck.

Location: Mellieha and the Surrounding Area

Mellieha occupies Malta’s northern crown, a position that historically made it militarily strategic and today makes it geographically privileged. Ghadira Bay—Malta’s longest sandy beach at approximately 800 metres—lies within walking distance or a 10-minute drive, offering calm waters particularly suitable for young swimmers and those preferring gentler conditions than the island’s southern and western exposures. The old village centre sits 1.5 kilometres away, where family-run cafés serve Maltese pastizzi and local wine, grocery shops stock fresh produce daily, and narrow streets reveal centuries of architectural layering.

Paradise Bay and Anchor Bay sit 5 kilometres southward along the coastal road, accessible for day excursions by car or scooter. The Il-Majjistral Nature and History Park begins approximately 3 kilometres west, protecting 860 hectares of coastal cliffside where walking trails reveal herons, egrets, and viewpoints across to Gozo. The Ghajn Znuber Observation Tower stands roughly 4 kilometres away, offering panoramic vistas across the channel separating Malta from its sister island. For archaeological enthusiasts, the Coral Lagoon lies 12 kilometres south near Mellieha’s tip, while St Agatha’s Red Tower—a 17th-century fortification—commands the skyline 6 kilometres distant.

Valletta, Malta’s capital and a UNESCO World Heritage Site, sits 40 kilometres south. The walled city founded by the Knights of St John contains over 300 years of Baroque architecture, the Upper Barrakka Gardens with their ceremonial noon cannon, and an old town where luxury boutiques occupy medieval buildings. The journey takes approximately 50 minutes by car. Mdina, the island’s ancient capital, lies 35 kilometres south near the geographical centre—its medieval walls and Roman catacombs beneath St Paul’s Church warrant a full afternoon. The famous Blue Grotto sea caves near Zurrieq sit 45 kilometres away, accessible for boat tours departing regularly during daylight hours. Wardija Towers—thirteen fortifications guarding Malta’s southeastern coastline—dot the landscape southward, available for exploration by driving or dedicated history-focused tours.

The 30-minute ferry crossing from Mellieha’s harbour delivers you to Gozo, where the Ggantija temples predate Stonehenge by centuries, and sandy beaches at San Lawrenz and Xlendi Harbour provide entirely different environmental experiences. Malta International Airport operates 35 kilometres south, with transfer times of approximately 40-45 minutes by private car.
