About Sliema
Sliema is Malta's seafront strip and most cosmopolitan address.
Sliema is Malta's coastal flagship, a dense urban strip running along the Marsamxett harbour from Tigné Point in the south to St Julian's in the north. Originally a 19th century summer retreat for Valletta nobility, today it is the country's most cosmopolitan address, packed with high-rise apartments, retail towers, and an unbroken seafront promenade.
