If you’re looking to do something truly special for Mother’s Day this year, why not swap the usual flowers and chocolates for a sun-soaked seaside escape? Set in the picturesque fishing village of St. Paul’s Bay, The Gillieru Harbour Hotel offers the perfect setting for a relaxing break, surrounded by Malta’s calming coastal beauty and warm Mediterranean charm.
Perched right on the water’s edge, The Gillieru Harbour Hotel blends peaceful tradition with laid-back comfort. It’s a haven where time slows down, sea views soothe the soul, and every detail is designed to help Mum unwind and feel appreciated.
May is one of the best times to visit Malta with pleasant temperatures, blooming landscapes, and a gentle buzz of activity without the peak-season crowds. Whether you’re planning a quiet weekend away or a short family retreat, it’s the ideal window for a getaway that feels both restful and celebratory.
Start the day with a peaceful breakfast on the hotel’s waterside terrace, where boats bob gently in the harbour and the morning sun casts a golden glow across the bay. Then take a slow stroll along the promenade or explore the nearby town of Bugibba, where cafés, boutiques, and local attractions are within easy reach. History lovers can even visit the nearby St. Paul’s Shipwreck Church or take a short boat ride to St. Paul’s Islands.
Back at the hotel, let Mum truly switch off. Our in-house spa, Soul Solutions, offers a wide range of spa treatments for Mum to enjoy. While Ostrica, located adjacent to the hotel, offers Mum the opportunity to savour delicious dishes including some of the best seafood options on the island.
Gillieru Harbour Hotel is more than just a place to stay, it’s a little slice of calm where simplicity and heartfelt moments take centre stage. For Mother’s Day, that’s exactly what most mums crave: peace, connection, and a bit of well-deserved pampering.
So if you’re thinking of a thoughtful way to say “thank you” this year, skip the ordinary and opt for something meaningful. A short break at The Gillieru Harbour Hotel combines everything you need, sea breeze, scenic beauty, and genuine Maltese hospitality all wrapped into one unforgettable Mother’s Day.
