St Julian's —
St Julian’s, on Malta’s sun-drenched northeast coast, perfectly captures the island’s blend of tradition and modern flair. Once a quiet fishing village, it has evolved into a lively seaside hub where colourful boats bob in the bay beside elegant waterfront promenades, stylish restaurants and vibrant nightlife. It’s the ideal base to enjoy the island’s cosmopolitan energy while staying close to the beauty and history of Malta’s coast.
Must-sees:
- Spinola Bay: The picturesque heart of St Julian’s, lined with brightly painted luzzus (traditional Maltese boats) and charming seafront cafés.

Local wines and olive oils add an authentic touch, while seaside terraces serve the island’s favourite pastizzi - crisp pastries filled with ricotta or peas. End your evening with a glass of Kinnie, Malta’s bittersweet local soft drink, or a chilled Cisk beer overlooking the bay.
Dive deeper:
Beyond its lively coast, St Julian’s offers easy access to the island’s cultural and natural highlights.
