Established in 1978, The Barracuda Restaurant is one of Malta’s best established fine-dining restaurants. Overlooking Balluta Bay in St. Julians the restaurant is housed in an almost stately, 18th Century limestone property, standing majestically on the water’s edge. Once inside, the atmosphere is classic with a modern touch, and you can cosy-up indoors by a log fire in Winter, or sit outside on the terrace on warm Maltese Summer evenings. Many celebrities and sporting stars have dined at Barracuda whilst visiting Malta, including Liverpool FC, Alex Ferguson, David Beckham, Madonna, Arnold Schwarzenegger and Omar Sharif.

St Agatha’s Tower Mellieha
Standing majestically on Marfa Ridge looking out over Ghadira Bay, St. Agatha’s tower (also known as The Red Tower, due to its colour) casts a dominant yet protective eye over bathers and sun worshipers on the
golden beach below.
Built as a coastal watchtower by The Knights of St. John, the tower was completed in 1649 during the rule of Grand Master Jean Paul Lascaris Castellar. A series of towers similar to this are scattered strategically along the coastline of the Maltese Islands, and were built to act as communication and lookout points by the Knights in order to ward off attacks by the Turkish Fleet and other enemies.
