My partner and I wanted a special break away in Malta. He has been to Malta dozens of times and this was my first trip. The accommodation was absolutely beautiful and in a stunning location. Unlike anywhere either of us have been before. It was calm and away from the main areas, yet still just a stones throw away from a fun evening out. We honestly couldn’t fault anything. Thoughtful instructions and very, very thorough and proactive communication. All the little extras were so carefully considered. Thank you for providing us with exactly the break that we both needed! Would recommend to anyone.

Rooms
The accommodation was really well thought out and fully equipped. The kitchen had everything we needed, so we never felt like we were missing anything. Instructions were provided via QR codes for pretty much everything, including clear guidance on how to use the air conditioning and washing machine, which made settling in really easy. A lovely added touch was the safety rail leading down to the hot tub area, which made it feel secure (especially after a few beers!).
Nearby activities
The location is fantastic. You’re just a stone’s throw from everything — shops, restaurants, and plenty of places to explore. We particularly loved being close to the famous Saluting Battery — watching the cannons was such a fun and unique experience, and you can even see the smoke from the accommodation. We were also lucky enough to catch what felt like a huge private fireworks display from the front door one evening — a very cool unexpected bonus and a real highlight of the trip.
Safety
Valletta is quite hilly, but due to the property’s location, it’s very manageable. Parking was surprisingly easy and much more straightforward than in the UK, especially if you have a smaller car.
Walkability
The area felt safe and easy to walk around, with everything close by.
Food & drinks
There are loads of beautiful pubs, cafés, and restaurants nearby — genuinely something for every taste. Whether you want something casual or a bit more special, you don’t have to go far at all. It was a great place to try Maltese food. I particularly enjoyed trying the rabbit and all that delicious cheese! Thankfully there was loads of space in the fridge, which made that very easy.
Noteworthy details
The overall experience felt like a true luxury getaway. Between the location, the thoughtful amenities, and those unexpected moments, it really stood out as somewhere special to stay.

How lucky was I finding this gem of an apartment… Newly refurbished to a high standard, but still retains it’s original character and charm and is spotlessly clean…. It has a modern fully fitted kitchen and all the utensils you you’ll need. Situated on a quiet street with must be the best view in Valletta overlooking the Harbour….. But still close to all amenities and restaurants to suits all tastes… From here I could view the colossal cruise ships arriving at first light, fishermen with their catch of the day or the many water taxis criss crossing the harbour, which are only a few minutes walk away. And as the name suggest it comes with its own cave with your own private jacuzzi, which was amazing. Much appreciated after a day’s sight seeing…. Over the years I have stayed in some amazing properties and hotels, but this must be the most unique… HIGHLY RECOMMEND.

We had a wonderful stay at Wave 24. The location is fantastic – right on the harbour in Valletta, near Upper Barrakka Gardens. The whole city is walkable right from the apartment, including many restaurants, bars and tourist attrations. There’s also easy access to the Gozo Fast Ferry and the boats that take you accross to the Three Cities. The apartment itself is lovely, very comfortable, peaceful and private. The spa in the cave is incredible and a great way to relax after a long day out and about exploring. A great stay and we would definitely stay again if we come back to Malta.
