About this beach

Malia is exposed in the meltemi — often choppy on summer N/NE days. That comes from the measured shape of the coastline around it and our curated wind records — a seasonal picture, not a live forecast, so check live wind and waves before you go.

Malia is oriented towards the north, so it usually has natural cover from southerly, south-easterly and south-westerly winds.

Malia has sand underfoot with shallow, gently shelving water — handy for families with young children.

For amenities, Malia has an organised beach, a beach bar, sunbeds, parking nearby and food nearby.
