Bayview suits a winter or shoulder-season stay, because its heated indoor pool is open all year. A seasonal outdoor pool sits on the roof. Both are for guests, free from 10:00 to 18:00.
The pool
Bayview is on The Strand in Il-Gżira, with a seasonal outdoor pool on the roof and a heated indoor pool. The pools, sauna and jacuzzi are free for guests from 10:00 to 18:00. The hotel doesn't publish the floor.
Our take
Bayview is the pick on this part of our list when the weather turns. November highs average 20.4°C and January 15.3°C, so the heated indoor pool does the work. The Marriott is the other guests-only hotel with a heated pool, but the outdoor pool here is seasonal and the hotel doesn't say it is heated.
The downside is access. No day pass or non-guest option is stated. Extras add up too: Sea Salt Spa treatments cost more, and an eco-contribution of €1.50 per adult per night applies.
