Qalet Marku

Drop the anchor off this historic peninsula on Malta's north coast, where a 17th-century watchtower stands guard over the shoreline. Built in 1658 to signal approaching threats, Qalet Marku has a surprisingly rich layered history — a later redoubt was added by the Knights of St John in 1715. The rugged, quiet setting feels a world away from Malta's busier spots, and the clear northern waters make it a great place to swim or dive while you're swung on the hook.
