Tigné Point seafront in Sliema, Malta

Rent an Apartment in Sliema — Life on Malta’s Seafront

Morning coffee on the promenade, sunset swims at Exiles, and everything you need within a ten-minute stroll. Sliema is Malta’s most loved address for expats — and we know every corner of it.

Living in Sliema: What to Expect

Sliema wraps around Malta’s north-eastern coast in a ribbon of seafront promenade, café terraces and elegant residential streets. It’s the island’s commercial and social heart — yet mornings here still begin slowly, with swimmers slipping into flat blue water at Fond Għadir and locals strolling the two-kilometre promenade towards St Julian’s.

  • The Strand & Tigné Point — waterfront dining, The Point shopping mall, and Valletta’s bastions glowing across the harbour.
  • Swimming on your doorstep — the rocky beaches at Fond Għadir and Exiles offer clear Mediterranean swimming from spring to late autumn.
  • Effortlessly connected — the Valletta ferry crosses in 15 minutes, and buses link Sliema to every corner of the island.
  • Everything nearby — supermarkets, gyms, clinics, coworking spaces and international schools, all within walking distance.

As a guide, one-bedroom long lets in Sliema typically range from €1,000 to €1,400 monthly, and two-bedrooms from €1,200 to €1,600, with seafront and Tigné Point homes commanding a premium. The market moves quickly — message us for today’s picture.
