Spots
When staying at our hotels in Sliema, you’re never far from the sea. The town’s rocky shoreline is dotted with fantastic swimming spots that locals and visitors alike flock to in summer.
One of the most unique is Fond Għadir, a series of shallow rock-cut pools that once served as salt pans. For a dip with postcard views, head to Tigné Point beach, where Valletta’s skyline rises just across the harbour. The sight is impressive by day but truly magical at night, when the capital glitters like gold and its lights dance on the dark waves.
If you prefer a sandy patch, Balluta Bay offers a lively setting framed by a pretty promenade, busy piazza, and the striking Carmelite Church watching over the bay. And for those who enjoy a social buzz, Sliema’s many beach clubs and lidos are the go-to spots, where chilled drinks, good food, and summer tunes set the tone for lazy afternoons and evenings by the sea.
With so many options within walking distance of your AX Hotel, swimming in Sliema is always a breeze.

AX Hotels in Sliema places you close to the coastline and all the adventures that come with it. Along the town’s bustling promenade, you’ll find no shortage of boat trips setting sail daily.

For something more practical (but just as scenic), hop on the Sliema ferry to Valletta. This short trip across Marsamxett Harbour offers sweeping views of the capital’s golden bastions and Manoel Island before dropping you right into the heart of Valletta.
If you’re keen to explore further, the fast ferry to Gozo is also within reach. In just 75 minutes, you can swap Sliema’s city buzz for Malta’s quieter sister island, perfect for a day trip of beaches and rustic walks. With the sea at your doorstep, staying in AX Hotels in Sliema Malta means the islands are yours to explore.
