Why Ramla Bay in Marfa Is a Perfect Spot for Sunset Trips with Bluewaves Watersports Malta

If you’re looking at Ramla Bay in Marfa and wondering whether it faces east or west, you’re not alone — the coastline here has a unique curve that often confuses people. Technically, Ramla Bay opens slightly north‑east, not west.

But here’s the magic: despite not facing directly west, the Marfa headland gives you wide, open skies, glowing reflections over the water, and stunning colours at golden hour.

And when you head out on the water with Bluewaves Watersports Malta, you’re positioned perfectly to chase the most dramatic sunset angles around Marfa, Comino, and the open Mediterranean.

Located right in Ramla Bay Resort, Marfa, Mellieħa, Bluewaves is in one of the best coastal locations for evening trips. With over 30 years of marine tourism experience, their team knows exactly where the sky lights up best, depending on the season, cloud patterns, and the direction of the sun.

From this point, Bluewaves offers:

🛥️ Private Boat Rides at Sunset

If you prefer a quieter moment, a skipper can take you to hidden angles of the coastline where the cliffs glow red at sunset.

🛶 Self‑Drive Boats (for the early‑evening glow)

If you have boating experience and meet the age guidelines (typically 25+ or 18–25 with relevant experience), taking a boat out for the late-afternoon light is unforgettable.
(Sunset operation depends on conditions)

All excursions include Bluewaves’ mandatory safety checks and zero‑alcohol policy

Why the Location Works for Sunset Trips

Even if the bay doesn’t face directly west, the Marfa ridge and the open northern horizon create:

Long golden-hour reflections
Open panoramic skies
Deep colour shifts over the water
Beautiful silhouettes of Comino & St. Mary’s Tower
Perfect photo opportunities

And once you move a short distance offshore, you get completely unobstructed views of the sunset over northern Malta.
