A place to stay in St. Paul's Bay
The Canifor Hotel is a four-star property in St. Paul's Bay, on Malta's northern coast. It runs an outdoor swimming pool, a hot tub, a fitness centre, and two on-site restaurants — enough to fill a day without leaving the building. Rooms range from singles up to quadruples, making it a practical choice for both solo travellers and families. Evening entertainment, live music, and broadcast sports give the place a lively edge after dark. The airport shuttle takes the guesswork out of arrivals and departures.
Who this stay suits
A mid-range four-star hotel with broad facilities, two dining options, and active evenings — guests rate it 3.6/5.
Best for
- Families needing multiple beds
- Travellers who want dining on-site
- Groups who enjoy evening entertainment
- Anyone wanting an airport shuttle included
Less suited to
- Travellers prioritising a high guest-satisfaction score
- Those seeking a quiet, low-key stay
Outdoor pool and sun deck
The outdoor swimming pool comes with a dedicated sun deck — a straightforward place to spend an afternoon in the Maltese sun. The hot tub sits alongside it, giving an alternative when you want something warmer and less active.
Two restaurants on-site
Having two separate restaurants under one roof means variety without going out. Room service extends the option further, and breakfast can be delivered directly to your room rather than taken in the dining area.
Evening entertainment programme
Live music, karaoke, a pool table, and broadcast live sports make for a full evening schedule. It's an active atmosphere — the bar ties it all together for guests who'd rather stay in than head out.
Fitness centre
The on-site fitness centre is available for guests who want to keep up a routine during their stay. It sits within the main building alongside the pool facilities.
