Santana Resort Club Triq Il Maskli

The Resort and Its Setting

Santana Resort Club Triq Il Maskli operates as an independent timeshare property, meaning it isn't part of a global hotel chain — ownership, management and the owners' association are all run locally, giving the resort a more personal, settled character. Its RCI affiliation adds a further layer of flexibility: owners aren't limited to using their own week at their own resort every year. The resort sits in Qawra, in Malta's St Paul's Bay (SPB) region, a built-up seaside town that has been a package-holiday mainstay for decades.

Qawra and Malta's North Coast

Qawra is a lively, largely residential resort town with a long seafront promenade, a good spread of restaurants, bars and shops, and easy bus links to the rest of the island. It sits alongside Bugibba and St Paul's Bay, forming one continuous tourist strip on Malta's northern coast, so you're never short of places to eat or things to do within walking distance.

Further afield, Malta's compact size works in your favour — nothing is ever really far. Mellieħa Bay, about 8 km north, is one of the island's best sandy beaches and a popular swimming spot. Popeye Village, roughly 12 km away, is the old film set turned visitor attraction, set on a pretty inlet. Golden Bay, around 15 km away, offers another proper sandy beach backed by cliffs. For history and culture, Valletta (about 18 km) and the hilltop city of Mdina (around 20 km) make easy day trips, while the Three Cities across the Grand Harbour (roughly 22 km) reward anyone interested in Malta's maritime past.

Selling or Renting Your Week Here

If you own a week at Santana Resort Club and no longer use it, you can list it for resale or rent privately on BidMyTimeshare.com. You set your own asking price, buyers and renters contact you directly through the platform, and there's no commission on the sale — you simply pay a one-off listing fee to advertise. This keeps more of the proceeds in your pocket compared with going through a traditional resale agent.

As Santana Resort Club is an independent resort, any resale here goes through the resort's own owners' association or management company rather than a branded head office. Before agreeing a price with a buyer, both parties should check directly with the resort's management for the current transfer fee and the latest annual maintenance fee, as these aren't published figures and can change from year to year. Buyers should also confirm in writing exactly what is being transferred — the week itself, any accrued RCI exchange credits or banked weeks, and whether an active RCI membership needs to be set up separately in the new owner's name, since exchange rights typically don't carry over automatically and usually require fresh enrolment.

Renters, meanwhile, are mainly looking for a specific week or season, straightforward confirmation of their booking, and clarity on what's included — so sellers renting out a week should be ready to answer questions on all of these points.

Practical Notes for Owners and Buyers

Because Santana Resort Club is RCI-affiliated, owners can deposit their week into the RCI network and exchange it for a stay at another RCI resort elsewhere in Europe, North America, the Caribbean or beyond, subject to RCI's own rules and fees. This is a separate process from the resale or rental listing itself, so anyone buying a week with exchange in mind should check their RCI membership status and any deposit deadlines directly with RCI.

For general travel planning, Qawra's shoulder months — May, June, September and October — tend to offer calmer crowds and more comfortable weather than the height of summer, which is worth bearing in mind both for personal use and when pricing a rental week.
