About this apartment rental

Modern, fully equipped 2 bedroom, 2 bathroom, dining terrace, stunning port and sea view.

Solmar Apartments comprises a two bedroom penthouse designed to accommodate up to 4 adults / children with a spectacular view over Marsascala’s characteristic fishing port and the open sea beyond.

Centrally located and set just back from the harbour front on a quiet non-thoroughfare street, the apartment offers calm and will allow you to enjoy Marsascala’s seaside location and its traditional relaxed social life-style making for a fascinating holiday for the whole family.

The penthouse is just a 5 minute walk from the Marsaskala bus terminus from where you can reach all corners of Malta and Gozo in comfort and low cost without having to worry about driving or parking. We can organise rapid and efficient transfer from the airport to the penthouse with immediate check in, obtain 7 day bus pass tickets for you. We can also organise bespoke private guided visits should you so require.

A butcher, baker, fishmonger, mini supermarkets, local fishermen (for the early riser) and fresh vegetable stalls are all within a stone’s throw, meaning that a car is not needed for everyday necessities.

The penthouse is modernly furnished and has been finished to a high standard combining simple elegance and practical functionality that includes efficient and silent invertor technology AC units in each room that can also be used for heating in the colder months.

It is extremely light and airy and comprises an open plan kitchen / dining / sitting room area, two bedrooms and two bathrooms equipped with generously dimensioned showers (the main bedroom has its own en-suite bathroom). The beds in each bedroom can be arranged as either a large king-sized double bed or separate 90 cm x 2 meter twin beds. The apartment’s master bedroom is just large enough to add an extra child’s bed or cot if required. The orthopaedic mattresses are comfortable and duvets, bed linen and towels are all supplied. A hair dryer is also provided in each apartment.

The kitchen has been thought out so that it will be a pleasure should you prefer to stay in and dine al-fresco on the terrace admiring the evening view over the harbour. The all-electric kitchen is equipped with oven, microwave, induction hob, hood, toaster and kettle and of course a dishwasher to make you feel at home. In addition, each apartment has a clothes washing machine, clothes drying racks, iron and ironing board.

There is free internet / WiFi as well as an Android box in each apartment so that you can pick up many of your favourite channels. If you have subscriptions to streaming channels such as Amazon Prime or Netflix, please bring your User ID and Passwords with you so you can log on via the Android box.


A children’s play park with an impressive range of activities for various ages can be reached within 10 minutes on foot.

A number of water sports such as scuba diving, sailing, fishing are all to be found in the region.

For those interested in history, Valletta, the 3 Cities and the megalithic temples of Tarxien are all within 10 – 20 minutes by car.

A very pleasant and wide promenade running along the waterfront around the bay with its numerous restaurants and bars is particularly agreeable for an evening stroll. Along the way you will come across designated cordoned-off bathing areas with direct access to the sea from the flat rocks via short ladders. The water is crystal clear and its temperature is most welcoming from late Spring through to late Autumn.

Nearby, St Thomas’ Bay with its sandy beach can be reached by a 5 minute bus ride.
The one thing you will be short of is time to sample everything on offer.

The airport is less than 20 minutes away by taxi and the hosts will happily organise an airport pick up or car hire upon request.

Although the apartment block does not have its own parking, being on a quiet and non-thoroughfare street means that it is usually fairly easy to find a place to park close to the apartment.

It should be noted that the penthouse being on the 3rd floor without a lift is not suitable for persons with reduced mobility. This being said, the stairways are wide and very easy to climb.

To avoid misunderstandings, please note the following:
a) Included in the nightly rental is 10kWh of electricity/day, which is more than adequate for average usage.

b) There is a stay tax imposed by the Maltese Tourist Authority of €0.50/guest/night. This applies to persons of 18 years and older and is capped at €5/person per stay in Malta. This tax will be collected upon check-in at the apartment.

We were met at the airport by Cynthia who dropped us off at our apartment . She looked after our cases as we were too early to check in . The apartment had the wow factor and more than met our expectations. Unfortunately after 2 days we had a family emergency and had to immediately leave the apartment and catch a flight home . Cynthia once again came to our rescue and took us to the airport , Both Cynthia and the owner have been kind and generous and I would not hesitate in recommending other people to stay here.

I was there for close to 3 months. Location was perfect as I didn't want to be in a tourist area and Marsaskala isn't real touristy. I wasn't to pleased with the price quoted on line vs what I was told for cleaning from the property manager. Nore was I too pleased with one of the welcome books greatly misquoting a price for private tours from the property manager again. I was having a few issues with water pump and that took a while to get straightened out. Once Peter the owner got involved with some of the issues that were arising everything was handled quickly with follow-up. When you stay in a place for 3 months, things will come up. Overall I loved it and would come back to The Penthouse!!!! PS, make sure you research your weather and the Sahara dust depending on what time of year you come.

Hmmm. Difficult to review this experience. So be clear, this is MY opinion and feelings from my stay. very spacious. Close walking distance to buses to/from airport and to get anywhere. Access to restaurants and convenience store nearby. Nothing negative to say about the apartment EXCEPT for me, I like to take a COLD SHOWER by choice. You have to turn the hot water tank switch on one hour before a shower and then the hot water only lasted about 4 minutes which was a bit frustrating. I read the reviews before renting this place and the “warm and helpful” greetings expressed from other tourist…I did not get that. I received an indifferent treatment. I wanted to take one of the tours that was promoted in the apartment guide book priced at 150 Euros for up to 4 people. When I called, the guy wanted to charge me 50 Euros per hour.

Very comfortable stay in a location that let us travel around Malta easily. Easy walk to the restaurants and promenade around the bay. Spacious and clean apartment with great communication with the hosts and property managers. It was a great help having transport to the apartment and back to the airport! Thank you!

I had a great time staying in the flat the views where great. close to restaurants and bars, and not far from the main bus stop. the slight down side was the flat was on the top floor and there was some road noise as it over looked a main road. but sitting out on the balcony looking over the harbour was way worth it. communication with the hosts great. i had a problem with the shower and they where there within a short time and the problem was solved. I would highly recommend a stay at this flat.

The penthouse is in a quiet neighborhood with spectacular views over the village and harbour. It is 72 steps up to the condo and there is not a lift-the views are the reward! The apartment had a well supplied kitchen and we had all we needed. The water pressure is light. The linens could do with a refresh. There are restaurants, cafes and grocery stores close by. Local buses stop very close to the condo making it easy to get around. Cynthia picked us up and dropped us back to the airport which was very helpful. She took us on a day long tour to many sites on Malta that we really enjoyed-she is very knowledgeable about the history and culture of the area. There is a very nice beach with restaurants only a 20 minute walk away. We really enjoyed our time in Malta at this apartment and the area.
