The town of Mġarr grew up around the shallow harbour which shares its name. Ferry services to Malta were in operation by 1241, and fishing was already established. While the area around the harbour was developed over the following centuries, there was little development of the harbour itself until 1841, when a breakwater was constructed to provide more shelter to the port. This breakwater was strengthened and extended several times up to 1906. A larger breakwater was constructed between 1929 and 1935, and two more in 1969; on the completion of the latter, the area of the port was expanded to 121,400 square metres.

"We had a very enjoyable week, and the owners were so welcoming and helpful. The location at Birgu waterfront is stunning, and the ideal base to explore Valletta and the 3 Cities or just to relax, chill out and enjoy the weather and the view. A one of a kind experience."

5/5 Excellent

"My daughter and I had a wonderful time in Malta! The hotel location was perfect. The staff were friendly and very helpful. The room was very clean and comfortable. There was construction next door but we left early every morning so it didn’t affect us. I would recommend this hotel and stay again! "

"With the hotel being new we were worried that potentially it could still be receiving maintenance, this wasn’t the case as the hotel was in excellent condition. The pool whilst small is lovely. All staff were very friendly. Breakfast buffet was very good although it could probably do with changing every few days. "

"Can not rate this hotel enough! The staff, food, facilities, location. Perfection. The only minor negative is a bit of construction going on across the road, but that seems to be the normal all throughout Malta at the moment. They go above and beyond to ensure you have a fantastic stay. Will be back "
