Author tip

At the hotel's front door is Malta's transport hub - if you wish, you can see the whole island by bus, retreating to recharge your batteries by the hotel's pool each afternoon. Valletta is a mere hop, step and jump away - lots of museums, churches and restaurants to explore here. For evening entertainment, take in a show at Valletta's beautiful Manoel Theatre, built in 1731.

How to get there

• From Malta International Airport (MLA):
  Distance to Le Meridien Phoenicia hotel is eight kilometres, approximately 20 minutes' drive.
  
  Getting there. Fixed rate taxis run between the airport and towns across the island. Fares are approximately 6 MTL to the capital Valletta, 8 MTL to St Julians, Attard and Sliema, and 10 MTL to Bugibba and Qawra. Pre-paid tickets can be purchased from the taxi desk at Arrivals. Bus number 8 runs between the airport and Valletta's main bus terminus every 20 minutes. For travel to Gozo, visitors should travel to the port by taxi, and then take a catamaran or ferry. The journey time is approximately 30 minutes. There is a heliport at the airport for helicopter flights to Gozo. Prices are all subject to change.
  
  Getting around. The hotel is located on The Mall in central Valetta. A network of buses connects Malta to the main resorts. A day bus pass costs 1.50 MTL. A car is recommended for exploring further afield. Gozo is easily explored by bicycle, on foot, or on bus. High-speed catamarans and ferries operate between Gozo and Malta (Valletta). Complimentary valet parking is available.
