Bugibba is a popular seaside town with locals as well as tourists. The area is home to numerous hotels, apart hotels, guesthouses and self catering apartments and is probably Malta's second most popular nightlife district after Paceville. The area is also a popular summer residence locality for many Maltese who enjoy spending time on the sea front or enjoying the breeze on their terraces or patios. Bugibba usually offers cheaper accommodation than the St Julians, Sliema or Mellieha areas. Bugibba is a suburb of St Paul's Bay.
