View Hotel →Gżira sits on the harbour between Sliema and Msida, offering one of Malta's most distinctive settings — the promenade looks directly across the water to Manoel Island and its historic 18th-century Fort Manoel. The area is quieter than Sliema while being immediately adjacent to it, making Gżira hotels an excellent choice for those who want Sliema's amenities at a slightly lower price point.
The Strand, Gżira's seafront promenade, is a favourite with local joggers and cyclists and connects seamlessly with Sliema's waterfront to the north. Valletta is accessible by a short bus ride or the scenic ferry crossing from Sliema, just 5 minutes walk away.
From Malta International Airport, Gżira is approximately 10km — around 20 minutes by taxi. KM Malta Airlines operates direct flights from London Heathrow and Gatwick.
