Bouncy Castles at Ghadira Bay (Malta)

Weather…

The bouncy castles at Ghadira Bay are situated on Malta's largest sandy beach, near Mellieħa, and offer a floating adventure for children and teenagers. This seasonal attraction consists of a series of inflatable obstacle courses, slides, and trampolines anchored directly on the water. Ghadira Bay is famous for its shallow waters, making it a good location for such activities as participant safety is bolstered by the low water levels near the shore. Visitors are required to wear life jackets, and certified lifeguards monitor the entire area during operating hours. The water park is typically open from May to October and attracts tourists looking for an active way to cool down in the Mediterranean Sea. Beyond the bouncy castle area, the bay features numerous other water sports as well as a well-developed infrastructure with kiosks and sunshade rentals, facilitating a complete day at the beach.
