Sliema

Once a tranquil fishing village, Sliema has transformed into Malta's premier coastal destination.

Located on the peninsula opposite Valletta's Marsamxett Harbour on the island's eastern side, Sliema is well-liked by both families and couples for its shopping and seafront strolls.

Indulge in a plethora of chic dining spots, bars, and cafes along the vibrant waterfront and bustling promenade. Sliema also offers a host of sophisticated boutiques and fashionable shops in the area called “The Ferries”, great for unique holiday purchases.

Sliema’s historical highlights include the 19th-century Stella Maris Church. During summer, Sliema’s waterfront hosts cultural events and food festivals, such as the Malta International Food Festival. Plus, don't miss out on the breathtaking views of Valletta's skyline from Tigné Point, the picturesque ferry journey across the Grand Harbour to Valetta and the boutique shops of The Point Mall.

Choose from a wide range of hotels, such as the elegant AX The Victoria Hotel, The Windsor Hotel – just 50 metres from the promenade, or the stylish Waterfront Hotel.
