Why Pool Days in Malta Beat the Beach: 8 Reasons to Skip the Sand and Head to Luzzu Lido Instead

Sure, Malta has some lots of great beaches. But let’s be honest, sometimes the beach can feel like more effort than it’s worth. Sand in all the wrong places, nowhere to keep your belongings safe, and a long walk under the scorching sun for food and facilities. That’s why more and more people are opting for a day by the pool in Malta, and honestly, we don’t blame them. Whether you’re on holiday or just need a local escape from everyday life, pool days in Malta deliver a fun day out for all the family with none of the hassle.

Here are eight totally valid reasons why pool days in Malta are the way to go.

Why a Day by the Pool in Malta Is Just Better

1. Sand won’t get everywhere

Let’s face it, sand has a way of showing up in your bed, your bag, your snacks, and everywhere you least expect! Pool days = zero sand … and that’s always a cause for celebration.

2. You can actually sit down in comfort

No hunting for a flat rock or shady space under a wall. Just pick a sunbed, pop open the umbrella, and relax like the Mediterranean royalty you are.

3. Toilets are clean and nearby

Ever tried walking across hot sand in wet flip-flops just to use a portable toilet? With pool days at a lido, proper facilities are conveniently on hand.

4. Showers and changing rooms on hand

Want to head to dinner after your swim in a restaurant? Not a problem. Freshen up in proper showers and changing rooms instead of doing the awkward towel dance behind your car door.

5. The kids are safely contained

No drifting into deep water, no disappearing behind crowds of people. A day by the pool in Malta means everyone’s in one spot with relaxed parents and happy kids.

6. Food is literally steps away

From cheeky burgers to Mediterranean salads, poolside menus make sure your lunch is freshly prepared. And by opting for a day by the pool with lunch in Malta, everyone can choose whatever they are in the mood for, instead of packing a bag full of snacks to satisfy everyone.

7. No tides, no jellyfish, no seaweed

You never know what you’re going to find when you visit the beach. Tides can mean it’s very wavy and not safe for young ones to swim. Jellyfish and seaweed might also make the sea less than ideal. With pool days at Luzzu Lido in Malta it’s just pure pool bliss, every time.

8. You can do a half day by the pool in Malta and still have time to explore

Beach days can feel like all-day excursions, especially when you have the kids in tow. But lidos like Luzzu Lido in Qawra offer half-day options, so you can swim in the afternoon, and head out all fresh by sunset.

So where should you spend your next pool day in Malta? Say hello to Luzzu Lido.
