Gzira. Sliema's Best Kept Secret.
Gzira sits immediately alongside Sliema and shares many of its finest qualities — the waterfront promenade, the easy ferry access to Valletta and the cosmopolitan atmosphere that makes this part of Malta so consistently popular with our customers. As the UK's only dedicated Malta specialist, GotoBeach offers carefully selected properties in Gzira with flights included, low deposits and our best price guarantee.
Gzira is, in many ways, Sliema's quieter neighbour — and for guests who want the same waterfront promenade, the same easy access to Valletta by ferry and the same cosmopolitan Maltese atmosphere, but at a slightly more relaxed pace and a slightly more competitive price point, it is a very sensible choice.
The area sits between Sliema and Msida, directly on the waterfront, with Manoel Island — one of Malta's most historically interesting landmarks — sitting in the creek just offshore. The promenade here connects seamlessly to Sliema's famous seafront walk, meaning guests based in Gzira have access to everything Sliema offers within easy walking distance. St Julian's is fifteen minutes away. Valletta is a short ferry ride across the harbour.
Gzira will not surprise you. It will not dazzle you. But it will give you a genuinely pleasant, well-located and affordable Malta holiday in a part of the island that feels authentically Maltese rather than purely tourist-facing — and sometimes, that is exactly what a good holiday requires.
