Let’s be real — getting married by the sea just hits different. The salty breeze, the sunlight dancing on waves, the sound of the ocean whispering “you did good, lovebirds.” And if you’re on the hunt for that perfect Mediterranean coastal dream, let us introduce you to Mellieħa — Malta’s golden child when it comes to breathtaking, sea-view weddings.
You’re not just choosing a venue here. You’re choosing a mood, a story, a vibe your guests won’t stop talking about, and that your photographer (👋 hi, it’s me!) will absolutely swoon over. So let’s dive in — barefoot, naturally.
🌊 Why Mellieħa?
Mellieħa sits high on a hill in northern Malta, gazing out over Għadira Bay and the sparkling sea. It’s a blend of sleepy seaside charm and stylish resort energy — kind of like if your grandparents’ village and a Pinterest board had a baby. With sandy beaches, epic sunsets, and warm Mediterranean light, it’s basically wedding goals.
