The village of Qawra is located in the northern part of Malta, along its coastline and is part of a cluster of villages that includes Bugibba and St. Paul’s Bay.

Qawra is known for its salt pans, referred to as is-Salini. Qawra is a very popular location for tourists, both for families with children as well as couples of all ages.

Qawra is pretty well-connected to the other parts of Malta through the nearby bus terminus at Bugibba, which is within walking distance from Qawra Point Holiday Complex. A few routes can take you directly to major points of interest and attractions directly, without any transfers.
