In fact, they are almost like one large town. Both are tourist areas which thrive during the summer months. At any time of day or night, there is a fantastic atmosphere with people walking up and down the seafront; swimming, dining or drinking.
The many Qawra hotels make it one of the best locations to stay at whilst enjoying your holidays in Malta. Qawra and Bugibba provide many advantages for different types of tourists.

Spend a day in Gozo
Another advantage about the Qawra resort Malta area is its vicinity to Cirkewwa, the point from which a ferry links Malta to its sister island, Gozo. Gozo is the second largest island in the archipelago. It is often called the “island where time stood still” since it is one of the few Mediterranean destinations which is largely unspoilt. Although Gozo forms part of Malta, it is rather different in both its traditions and culture. In fact, even the people are very different. As Joseph Bezzina put it, “the Gozitans are Maltese in as much as the Scottish are British, or the Sicilians are Italians”! Gozo is only some 20 minutes away from Qawra and surely merits a day-trip!
