Xemxija Bay Hotel

The Resort & Its Setting

Xemxija Bay Hotel is an independent, RCI-affiliated timeshare property set in Xemxija on Malta's northern coast. The village is low-key compared with Malta's larger resort towns, with the bay itself just a couple of hundred metres from the property and sea views forming part of daily life here. Owners buy into this resort specifically for that bay-side, village feel rather than a high-rise strip.

The Area & Things to Do

Xemxija lies within the San Pawl il-Baħar region, a short hop from St. Paul's Bay (about 2km), which has a proper seafront promenade, restaurants and boat trips around the coast. Mellieħa Beach, one of Malta's largest sandy beaches, is around 5km away and is well suited to families. Popeye Village, the old film-set-turned-attraction, is roughly 8km away, and Comino's Blue Lagoon is reachable by boat from the area, about 12km away. Valletta, Malta's UNESCO-listed capital, is a longer trip at around 25km but still manageable as a day out. Locally, Xemxija village itself has unpretentious restaurants serving Maltese dishes away from the main tourist crowds.

Selling or Renting a Week Here

If you own a week at Xemxija Bay Hotel and are thinking of selling or renting it out, BidMyTimeshare.com works as an owner-to-owner marketplace: you list your week privately, set your own asking price, and buyers or renters contact you directly through the platform. There's a one-time listing fee to post your ad, and BidMyTimeshare.com takes 0% commission on the sale or rental itself.

Because Xemxija Bay Hotel is independent rather than part of a branded chain, resales here are typically handled through the resort's own owners' association or management office rather than a central brand transfer department. Before agreeing a price with a buyer, ask the resort for the current transfer fee and the latest annual maintenance fee — these vary by resort and aren't fixed figures we can quote here, but any seller should have them in hand before listing. Buyers should also confirm whether RCI exchange rights carry over automatically with the week or need to be re-registered after transfer, since the resort is RCI-affiliated.

A resale buyer typically takes on the week itself along with its ongoing annual fees and any RCI membership arrangement tied to the unit; they do not inherit anything beyond what the seller actually owns, so it's worth both parties checking exactly what's included — points, fixed week, or floating week — before the sale completes.

Practical Notes

Malta International Airport is roughly 30-35km from Xemxija, reached by rental car, taxi, or an arranged transfer. Malta drives on the left, which is worth factoring in if you're planning to self-drive. Local buses connect Xemxija to the rest of the island, though a car gives more flexibility for day trips to places like Mellieħa or Valletta. Spring and autumn tend to be quieter and cooler than the peak summer months, which is worth knowing whether you're visiting as an owner or renting your week out to someone else.
