St Julians Bay

A vibrant seaside town known for its many beautiful beaches and a rocky stretch of coast replete with a plethora of restaurants and bars. It is especially famous for the Paceville area, renowned for having the best nightlife in all of Malta. St Julian’s has a population of around 11,000 people and is located near other towns, such as Sliema. This makes it the ideal destination for young holidaymakers seeking to have some fun in the sun.

St Julian’s Bay has been a small fishing village for the majority of its history, meaning that its history is pretty unremarkable. It has gained prominence over the past 50 years as a vibrant tourist destination, boasting the largest concentration of pubs, clubs, and restaurants in the entire country.

The resort offers a diverse range of family-friendly activities, including bowling and a cinema, ensuring that everyone has a great time during their stay. For older children, there is an excellent range of activities that centre around the sparkling blue ocean, with a myriad of watersports available, including jet-skiing, snorkelling, diving, and kayaking – you name it, and you will be able to find it in St Julian’s and the surrounding area. For those willing to travel a little further, a boat trip to the island of Gozo or a day trip to the capital, Valletta, are both fascinating and educational activities.

Famous across Europe for the quality of its nightlife, no trip there would be complete without a visit to the Paceville district, a busy district which is crammed full of excellent pubs and clubs. During the day, the beach is the place to be, with areas such as Spinola and St George’s Bay especially popular.

The Mecca of Maltese nightlife, it is the best place to party on the island, with a host of nightclubs offering the chance to party from dusk until dawn. The options are endless, allowing visitors to decide where they want to go on the spur of the moment, from exotic cocktail bars to pubs serving local Maltese beer and buzzing nightclubs with international DJs playing all manner of music. Although all of St Julian’s has excellent nightlife, the place to visit is Paceville, situated just to the west of St Julian’s. It is renowned for having some of the best nightlife in all of Europe.

A bustling shopping destination, St Julian’s has a plethora of both international and local shops selling luxury products from around the world. Especially notable is the area of Portomaso, which is famed for its boutique outlets selling items such as jewellery, lace and knitwear. St Julian’s and the surrounding area offer the best shopping in the country, save for possibly Valletta.
