Costa San Antonio

The resort and its setting

Costa San Antonio is a timeshare property in Bugibba, on Malta's northern coast, a short walk from the beach. Units are designed with families and couples in mind, offering contemporary comforts and views over the surrounding area. The resort is independently managed and carries an RCI affiliation, which is the main option for owners who'd rather exchange their week than use it on-site every year.

Bugibba and the surrounding area

Bugibba has long been one of Malta's main holiday hubs, known for its seafront promenade, colourful traditional fishing boats, and a dense cluster of cafés and restaurants serving Maltese and Mediterranean dishes. The town works well as a base: Golden Bay, one of Malta's better-known sandy beaches, is about 8 km away, while Valletta's historic centre — a UNESCO World Heritage old town of fortifications, churches and museums — is roughly 20 km south. Families often combine a stay here with a trip to the Popeye Village film set, around 15 km away, originally built as a movie location and now a small seaside attraction in its own right. Warm weather from April through October makes the area reliable for beach days, boat trips and walking the coastal paths, and Malta International Airport is only about 30 minutes away by car, so transfers are straightforward.

Selling or renting a week here

Owners who no longer use their week at Costa San Antonio can list it for resale or rent directly on BidMyTimeshare.com. This is owner-to-owner resale: you set your own asking price, and buyers or renters contact you through the platform. There's no commission on the sale — sellers simply pay a one-time listing fee to advertise, keeping resale transactions between owners straightforward and transparent.

Because Costa San Antonio is RCI-affiliated, that's a genuine selling point worth mentioning in your listing, as it gives a buyer the option to exchange the week for stays at other RCI resorts rather than returning to Bugibba every year. If no brand-specific transfer details are published for this resort, sellers and buyers should contact the resort's owners' association or management directly to confirm the transfer fee, any right of first refusal the resort may hold, and the current annual maintenance fee before agreeing a price — these details vary by resort and shouldn't be guessed at in a listing.

Renters, meanwhile, tend to look for proximity to the beach, the size of the week on offer (studio vs larger unit), and whether it falls in peak summer season or the quieter shoulder months either side — all details worth stating clearly in your ad.

Practical notes

Anyone buying or renting a week here should check the unit size, the view, and which weeks of the year are included, since availability patterns can affect both resale value and rental demand. Confirming the current annual maintenance fee and any outstanding transfer costs directly with the resort or its management before completing a purchase is standard practice and protects both sides of the transaction.
