Mellieha is a large village (pop. 7,221 in Dec 2008) in the northwestern part of Malta. It is a popular tourist destination during the summer months. Mellieha as a village developed under British colonization after the British encouraged people to settle in the area by giving leases to the population. The village includes a large number of villas.

Ruins and tombs show Mellieha to have been inhabited from Neolithic times to the Byzantine era, but the area was deserted after the Arab conquest (870), likely due to frequent raids by Muslim corsairs.

Mellieha is now a tourist resort, featuring Malta's largest sandy beach, Ghadira. Another popular attraction is the set of the 1980 film Popeye.
