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.
