Looking for a place that’s just the right mix of city buzz and sea breeze? Welcome to Gżira—a vibrant waterfront town that’s fast becoming one of Malta’s most exciting places to live, stay, and play.

Tucked between Sliema and Msida, and just across the harbor from Valletta, Gżira is the perfect base for travelers who want to be close to everything—but still wake up to a view of sailboats gliding across the water.

But it’s not just pretty—it’s alive. Gżira is packed with cafés, restaurants, rooftop lounges, and cozy wine bars. You can grab fresh seafood, dig into local ftira, or go global with sushi, pizza, Indian, Lebanese—you name it, it’s here. The dining and nightlife scene is vibrant but relaxed, perfect for people who want a little social buzz without the club crowds.

Living in Gżira? You’ve got options. Modern apartments with sea views, character-filled older homes, and plenty of short- and long-term rentals. Whether you’re staying a week or looking to settle in, there’s something for every lifestyle.

You're also perfectly positioned. In minutes, you can be shopping in Sliema, exploring the streets of Valletta, or heading out for a swim off the nearby rocky beaches. And if you're into water sports? Boating, snorkeling, and stand-up paddleboarding are all on the menu.

Gżira may be urban, but it still knows how to celebrate its roots. The town hosts local feasts and cultural events throughout the year, giving you a taste of Maltese tradition in between your espresso and Aperol Spritz.
