About Sliema

Sliema is the main coastal resort on Malta, it is also a very large residential area. If you like a little sightseeing in your holiday, combined with sports and good food, Sliema fits the bill. This busy – and still growing – town focuses on The Strand, a broad promenade with views of Valletta 0.5km to 1km away. Sliema’s shops are among the best on the island - look for Maltese lace, fine silverware, pottery, and woolens. When night falls Sliema’s bars and restaurants are relaxed and mellow in mood with a cosmopolitan feel.

Ensure you see the fabulous view of the magnificent fortifications and church domes of Valletta rising high above Marsamxett harbour, from The Strand in Sliema. This is one of the best views of Valletta available.

Sliema Beaches

There is a small strip of golden sand where Sliema meets St Julian's. The Sliema coast along Tower road consists of wide promenades fronted with flat, rocky beaches with water sports and 2 swimming pool lidos. Besides hotel pools and sun terraces the golden flat rocks are popular with sun worshippers. There is easy access to the sea for a cool down in the hot summer months.

Nightlife

Nightlife in Malta is diverse, exciting and relatively inexpensive. St. Julian's and Paceville are famous for their great atmosphere. Bright lights, lively music and enthusiastic clubbers await you at one of Europe’s top nightspots.

Enjoying a barbecue at Malta’s beautiful beaches is also one of the most popular evening activities. For a traditional evening's entertainment, the mix of fireworks and village band marches transform a night into an event during one of our many summer 'festas'.
