db San Antonio Hotel + Spa

The resort and its setting

db San Antonio Hotel + Spa is a contemporary, family-oriented property in St Paul's Bay, on Malta's northern coast. Google reviewers rate it 4.4 out of 5 from over 7,300 reviews, and the official description points to colourful rooms and suites, five themed restaurants, four pools and a spa — a good spread of facilities for a week that mixes relaxation with eating out somewhere different each night. The resort sits on Tourist Street, right in the thick of St Paul's Bay's hotel strip, which means shops, bars and the seafront promenade are all an easy stroll away.

St Paul's Bay and things to do

St Paul's Bay and neighbouring Bugibba form one of Malta's busiest tourist hubs, with a harbour-front promenade, a Sunday fish market and a steady run of cafés and restaurants along the water. It's an easy walk to the marina and beach area, and Popeye Village — the old film set turned family attraction — is just a few kilometres along the coast. St Paul's Bay town itself, with its own bay and fishing-village roots, is close by, and Golden Bay, one of Malta's better sandy beaches, is a short drive away. Valletta, Malta's capital and a UNESCO World Heritage city, is around 15km south, making it a realistic half-day or full-day trip for anyone staying at the resort.

Selling or renting a week here

If you own a week at db San Antonio Hotel + Spa and are thinking about moving it on, BidMyTimeshare.com works as a straightforward owner-to-owner marketplace: you list your week, set your own asking price, and buyers contact you directly through the platform. There's no commission taken on the sale — you simply pay a one-off listing fee to get your week in front of buyers.

Because db Hotels' exact resale terms for this property — transfer fee, any right of first refusal, or how long a transfer takes to process — aren't confirmed here, treat these as questions to raise with db Hotels' owner services or the resort's management before agreeing a price with a buyer. Ask specifically what the current annual maintenance fee is, whether a transfer fee applies and who pays it, and what paperwork the buyer will need to complete the change of ownership. Getting these answered up front avoids surprises for both sides once a sale is agreed.

For renters, the appeal of this resort is fairly easy to sum up: a location close to the beach in a busy, well-served part of Malta, a good choice of on-site dining, and enough pools and spa facilities to make a week feel like a proper break rather than just a base for sightseeing.

Practical notes for buyers and renters

Renters and buyers alike should check which week or season their unit covers, since Malta's high season (June to August) brings warmer seas and busier beaches, while spring and autumn offer quieter, cooler conditions better suited to sightseeing. Anyone renting or buying should also confirm directly with the current owner or the resort what's included in the unit — room type, view, and whether any resort fees apply locally.

Getting there

St Paul's Bay is on Malta's northern coast, within easy reach of the island's main sights. Both Valletta and the airport are around 30-40 minutes away by car, making the resort a convenient base for exploring without being stuck in the capital's traffic and parking.
