Popeye Village, also known as Sweethaven Village, is a group of rustic and ramshackle wooden buildings located at Anchor Bay in the north-west corner of the Mediterranean island of Malta, two miles from the village of Mellieħa.
It was built as a film set for the production of the 1980 live-action musical feature film Popeye, produced by Paramount Pictures andWalt Disney Productions and starring Robin Williams. Today it is open to the public as an open-air museum and family entertainment complex.
There are shows, rides and museums, as well as play houses where children can climb and explore the village. Children may also get to meet the main characters from the show such as Popeye, Olive Oyl, Bluto and Wimpy.
Situated in the centre of Popeye Village’s Lower Complex, visitors can see a twenty-minute history and information audio-visual show which includes clips from the actual film and the set’s construction.
Popeye Village hosts a variety of functions and activities at certain times of the year, including casual barbecue lunches and dinners.
