This accolade undoubtedly injects new vitality into Malta’s beach tourism industry and further enhances the international recognition of this small island nation’s breathtaking landscapes.
Tuffieħa Bay is located along the northern coast of Malta, near the town of Mellieħa, and is renowned for its captivating natural scenery. The beach’s name, which means “apple’s eye” in the local language, reflects its charm. According to a survey conducted by European Best Destinations (EBD), over one million visitors from around the world voted for Tuffieħa Bay as “Europe’s Most Beautiful Beach.” EBD describes Tuffieħa Bay as “situated near the beautiful coastal town of Mellieħa, which has also been recognized by the European Commission for its outstanding performance in sustainable tourism. Tuffieħa Bay features magnificent cliffs, pristine white sands, and has been awarded the Blue Flag certification, making it the perfect beach choice for your holiday in Malta.” They further added that the beach “offers high standards of cleanliness and facilities, with restaurants and snack bars available for visitors.”
In addition to Tuffieħa Bay’s honor, Malta as a whole has also ranked highly as a tourist destination in the EBD evaluations. Statistics show that Malta was rated the third-best tourist destination in Europe, following Marbella and Monaco. EBD noted, “Malta is undoubtedly a perfect destination for unique experiences. Whether it’s water sports, hiking, cycling, horseback riding, diving, or snorkeling, it has it all. It is also an ideal choice for couples, families, and food lovers.”
EBD also highlighted that “Malta is not only the best LGBTQ+ destination in Europe, having topped the Rainbow Europe map for seven consecutive years, but it also includes the islands of Gozo and Comino, which are excellent options for your trip to Malta, serving as both a springboard and independent travel destinations.” Undoubtedly, the award for Tuffieħa Bay and Malta’s overall outstanding performance will bring significant exposure to this Mediterranean island nation, likely attracting more visitors eager to witness its natural beauty.
