Sliema City Guide

Sliema is Malta's premier urban, business, and expat residential hub — situated on the northeast coast directly across the harbour from Valletta. The city is anchored by The Strand (Tigné seafront promenade), Tigné Point (the Special Designated Area mixed-use mega-development), Tower Road (the main seafront retail strip), and the densest concentration of multinational financial-services and iGaming offices in Malta. Sliema is Malta's most-rented neighbourhood — with Sliema + St. Julian's + Pembroke commanding €4,500-€6,500/m² (Malta's highest), rents €26+/m²/month (Malta's highest), and 2BR rents reaching €1,400/mo. Sliema is widely considered Malta's most-international city and the focal point of the country's English-speaking expat business community.
