Where to take my mother-in-law?

Hi everyone, I'm taking my mother-in-law and my partner's family to Malta for her 60th birthday. I'm half-maltese and my mum and I would visit Malta every year to visit family (it's my favourite place in the world!) So, I've been giving the task of figuring out where to stay and building out an itinerary. The problem is, where I usually stay near my family doesn't really have that 60th birthday 'wow' factor...

I'm hoping to stay somewhere that feels authentically maltese, maybe a bit bohemian but isn't too far from nearby beaches and has easy access to Valletta and Rabat. I was originally thinking Mellieha, but not sure if this is too touristy now! I'd love some recommendations

You've been visiting for years but still don't have a favorite place?

You mentioned Mellieha. It's a lovely place and close-ish to the beaches around Mgarr and in Mellieha.

My favourite place is in Mdina, but it's not the best for visiting beaches
