Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

We went there by walking from Mellieha bay using the paths that line the cliffs. Suitable shoes are required. A magnificent walk with superb landscapes. We crossed a wooded area where people set up as couples or friends to camp before arriving at the chapel and continuing our walk along the cliffs and then going down to coral lagoon.
I recommend this excursion which is done quietly and easily.

This lagoon is a hidden cave that is very popular diver’s spot due to its crystal clear waters. From Little Armier Bay, you can get there by kayak or by foot and swim in this unusual, true beauty of nature! A lot of people are jumping off the top of the cave but be careful because the rocks surrounding lagoon are pretty harsh and might cut you. It is better to walk around with sneakers or water shoes.

Just beware that this lagoon is really beautiful but illegal to swim in it. Always ask the locals. Yesterday I watched a successful rescue operation for 3 people by the helicopter army, fire brigade and police who risked their lives to save others.The sea was so rough they jumped in but could not swim out.... so THINK TWICE..remember it is not only your life you risk but that of others who have a family waiting for them at home.

We rented a two person kayak from Little Armier Bay for 30 euro. That gave us 2 hours, which was just about perfect timing. The kayak trip took at least 30 minutes of hard paddling, which wore us out, but was very pretty. Once we got there, there was approximately 15-20 others already there. There were so many people, there were no fish or wildlife anywhere to be found. The photo below was at a different time when we waited for everyone to move for the perfect picture. The water was beautiful, just not what we hoped for. Malta in general was over crowded, extremely hot, dusty, and very expensive.

Simply a must-see on the island. If you rent a kayak, or don't mind a swim, visiting this lagoon from the inside is just spectacular.

About a 3 mile walk from Mellieha Bay Hotel along the shore, through wild flower strewn cliff tops, and down a road with vegetables growing in the fields. Turn right when you reach the end of the road and walk over the rocks to the far end.
Great for diving and photo shoots.

The beauty of nature - a pool in the rocks at Mellieha Malta. The final part must be reached by foot...or else by a canoe. It is one of thosr places that you do not imagone they exist before you see them

The eastern side of the lagoon is quite deep, so you won't hit any rocks under water. Do keep in mind it's quite the swim to get back onto the land, but the jump itself is very doable. I would suggest to try some smaller jumps before heading here however.

You can rent a kayak from Wave Rider which is located at Little Armier. The distance between the place and the Coral Lagoon is very doable. To avoid disappointment you can always contact them in regards to the weather conditions as the lagoon can get a little tricky sometimes.

Bonjour je voulais savoir si il etais possible de sauter depuis les falaise et de remonter a pieds ou faut til prendre un bateau pour regagner la terre?
Written 27 June 2018
Oui tout a fait possible en sortznt de la cave, il fzut nager 100 a 150m pour avoir une terre assez basse.
Ca parait délicat de sortir car des fois petite vagues qui tapent sur les rochers mais tu as pied avant ! Donc tu peux marcher.
Par contre avoir des running au pied ou au moins des tongs pour sortir est un gros + pour être bien.
Ou que quelqu'un vous les amènent si certains ne sautent pas !

Bonjour , Nous serons à Mellieha du 11 au 15 février avec nos petits enfants de 7 et 10 ans
Est - il possible de profiter du Coral Lagoon ?
Quel est la profondeur de l'eau, les courants, les dangers éventuels ?
Est ce accessible en ce mois de février sans combinaison, simplement en maillot ?
Que nous conseillez - vous comme autres attractions ?
Bien merci
