For those of you, who like myself, regularly take #holidays in #Malta and #Gozo, a crane or 4 on the horizon is a very familiar sight! 😂
Sooooo much development has been taking place, which thankfully includes a whole host of brand spanking new #hotels for us all to fall in #love with.
Today I'm sharing with you my 10 favourites.
Some you may have missed as they opened in 2020, whilst others are set to open this year or next.
So here we go, and in no particular order,
The very first Hyatt branded property to reach the shores of Malta, is situated in St Julians.
This 5* property boats 151 luxurious rooms and 12 suites, 2 pools one of which is a rooftop, underground parking, a Carisma Spa, (check out my blog for an exclusive offer) and three food and beverage outlets intriguingly called Seed, Thyme and Gin-ger.

Move over #Paceville, it seems that the St Pauls Bay, Bugibba and Qawra area seems to be emerging as the next party capital of #Malta.
This area famous for its English breakfasts, Sunday roasts and Karaoke, has been a firm favourite with the Brits for decades.
Witnessing the development in this area I feel the aim now seems to be in attracting the music loving #European #millennial crowd.
It's been home to the famous Cafe Del Mar Malta for quite some time, which has recently been joined by the new luxe Beef Bar on the beach whose origins are in the millionaires playground Monte Carlo.
But it's not stopping there. St Pauls Bay is soon to have it's very own "party resort hotel".
Bora Bora Ibiza Malta "the resort designed for party goers" was due to open its doors next month. It will be the islands first "music resort"
Sadly with the decision not to allow mass events this summer, (which also includes DJ's,) the property has decided with a heavy heart to postpone it's opening until 2022. An advisory on their website states that until then, the property will be operating as the Pebbles San Pawl.
Bora Bora Ibiza Malta is an expansion of the Bora Bora Ibiza beach club brand, which opened it's doors in the summer of 1982 and over the years has become one of worlds most #cosmopolitan and #famous beach clubs.
The property is a 4* modern "adults only" hotel.
There will be a large open-air stage which will host regular prestigious events along with two further entertainment venues, a restaurant. pub, outdoor pool with large sundeck, poolside cocktail bar, heated indoor pool and a fully equipped gym.
Spanning 5 floors and 231 rooms, a variety of accommodation options will be available, standard, superior, pool view and party rooms which will have a large balcony to enjoy the outdoors entertainment with all your #friends.
It will operate on a wristband concept, which will allow free breakfast in Flavours restaurant, free sunbed and entrance to Bora Bora Ibiza Malta Playa, (which boasts 300 sunbeds, 2 restaurants, 2 pools, 3 bars and an indoor club) free sunbed and entrance to Medasia Playa, free transport between the resort and playa, and free use of the indoor pool and the gym.

10. Mayflower Hotel
Opening next month too, the 3* designer styled Mayflower Hotel is located in St Pauls Bay, and is just steps away from the central bus terminal which has regular services to all main resorts and sights across the island.
Amenities include the Skydeck with its roof top infinity pool, and the contemporary Hibiscus lounge and bar which takes its inspiration from 1960's Italy.
The chic bedrooms range from standard, superior, sea view, panoramic and even a deluxe suite!
