Thalasso Mellieha Bay offers seawater wellness treatments on the shores of Malta's largest beach at Mellieha in the northern tip of the island, where the clear, warm, iodine-rich waters of the central Mediterranean provide an excellent environment for thalassotherapy combining hydrotherapy, marine mud, and sea air in a setting of limestone cliffs and historic hill villages. Malta is home to the Ggantija temples on Gozo, among the oldest freestanding structures ever built by human hands at around 3,600 years before Christ, predating the Egyptian pyramids by a millennium and making the Maltese islands one of the most ancient centres of human cultural achievement in the world. Bathing in the sea that laps the shores of these Neolithic monument islands, in waters warmed by the Mediterranean sun to temperatures rarely found elsewhere in European coastal wellness, carries an archaeological gravity that elevates Mellieha beyond a simple beach thalasso.
