St Julian's, Malta

St Julian'sfor families with babies

St Julian's works on the index if you want short flights, English everywhere, and a hotel pool deck you can roll a buggy onto from your room. Three hours from Gatwick, sometimes 3h 10m from Manchester, with British plug sockets, English-speaking paediatricians within ten minutes, and a tap water culture that means you don't have to factor bottled water into every formula feed. That last point sounds small until you've travelled with a baby. The InterContinental Malta is the biggest family operation in town, with the Planet Trekkers club running through summer for ages 4 and up and a high proportion of British guests, which makes pool deck conversation easy when you're sleep deprived. The Westin Dragonara sits on its own small peninsula and has actual access to a swimmable rock platform cove, the closest thing to a beach in walking distance. Hilton Malta in Portomaso has the quietest pool layout for a napping toddler. The town itself is busy and adult leaning at night, but the hotel zone along the seafront is well buggied, with a 2km promenade that you can walk end to end and find a flat white at any point. Late September and early October stay warm enough to swim with the school crowds gone.

Beach reality

Malta isn't a beach holiday in the way the Costas are. The big sandy beaches (Golden Bay, Mellieha) are a 35 minute taxi from St Julian's and worth one day trip, not a daily plan. What you actually swim in here is hotel pool deck and rock platforms with ladders into clear deep water, which is fine for confident swimmers but not for a toddler who wants to wade. The Westin Dragonara has a small private bay with a sand and pebble mix you can sit on. Otherwise plan around pools: most family rooms at the InterContinental and Hilton are a flat 90-second walk from a lounger. If your child needs a shoreline to dig in, look at Mellieha Bay hotels instead of St Julian's.

When to go

May: 20 to 24C, sea still 18 to 19C and on the cool side for under 3s, but pool decks are heated at the bigger hotels. June: 24 to 29C, sea 21 to 23C, busy but manageable. July and August: 30 to 34C, sea 26C, very hot midday, plan everything around 7am breakfast and 5pm pool. September: 26 to 29C, sea 25C and the warmest swimming of the year, our favourite month. October: 22 to 26C, sea 23C, half term still works, light cardigan after sunset. November onwards is mild for sightseeing but pools close.

Don't go if

Don't go if you specifically want a wide sandy beach you can buggy onto from your room; that doesn't exist in St Julian's. Don't go in July or August if heat sensitivity is an issue; the limestone city radiates. Don't go if your toddler hates noise; the Paceville nightclub strip is a ten minute walk from most family hotels and traffic hums until late. Don't go expecting cheap; Malta has crept up in price.

A calm 5 day rhythm

Five days with a toddler in St Julian's. Day one, arrive, room service lunch, pool from 3 to 5, early dinner on the hotel terrace. Day two, breakfast, pool from 9 to 11, nap, then the Sliema-to-St Julian's promenade walk in the buggy with an ice-cream stop, dinner at the hotel. Day three, taxi to Mdina or the Three Cities for a morning of flat stone streets and a long lunch, back for nap. Day four, taxi to Golden Bay or Mellieha for actual sand, take a beach tent, leave by 2pm before traffic. Day five, slow pool day, walk down to Spinola Bay for the painted luzzu boats, last dinner. Book a hotel with a separate bedroom for the cot; the studio style family rooms here are a trap.
