Is the water clean at Mliha?
Mliha is a coastal bathing site with an official EU Bathing Water rating of Good for the 2025 season — meets the EU bathing-water standard in the latest annual assessment. That annual classification comes from the EU Bathing Water Directive: national authorities test for two indicator bacteria, intestinal enterococci and E. coli, throughout the bathing season, then report the full-season results to the European Environment Agency (EEA) the following spring — the 2025 season's rating was published in spring 2026, and the 2026 season won't be rated until spring 2027. In addition to that yearly rating, some national authorities — for Croatia, the national environmental authority — publish individual water sample results during the season itself, ahead of the annual report. On site you'll find Restaurant, Parking, and Sports facilities. You can park about ~20 m away.
Over the 11 classified seasons on record, 8 have come back Excellent or Good — a track record worth checking each year rather than assuming. The most reliable swimming window here typically runs from June–October, with the sea usually at its warmest around August. Outside that window the water is cooler and often quieter. It's been a consistently reliable spot too — the rating has held at Good for 2 straight years. Mliha — the closest town — sits about ~100 m from here.
Worth remembering: “Good” isn't a live reading, it's an annual grade — Excellent, Good, Sufficient or Poor — set once a year from that season's water samples and describing the average, not this afternoon's conditions. For what the sea is doing right now, check the “Right now” panel and 7-day outlook above. It sits in Mayotte. There are 3 places to eat within a kilometre — La Tête Raide is the closest, about ~60 m away.
Frequently asked questions

It's a solid yes: Mliha is rated Good for 2025, the second tier on the EU scale, backed by 8 of 11 classified seasons at Excellent or Good. It's also held steady at Good for 2 straight years.
How cold or warm is the water at Mliha today?

What's the best month to visit Mliha for swimming?
The most reliable stretch for warm water runs through June–October, based on the modeled climatology. That applies to the water around Mayotte.
What's behind the water quality rating shown above?
The grade comes from a full season of official sampling for intestinal enterococci and E. coli, reported to the European Environment Agency each spring under the EU Bathing Water Directive, which assigns Excellent, Good, Sufficient or Poor. Some countries (Croatia, via IZOR) also publish individual in-season samples ahead of that report; Mliha doesn't have that feed yet.

By car, it's easy — parking is right by the beach. By bus, the nearest stop is Stade de foot, about ~100 m away. The nearest town is Mliha, about ~100 m away.
