Where to Stay in Sliema: Best Areas for Ferries, Swimming, Shopping and Quiet Nights
Sliema is one of Malta’s easiest bases, but “Sliema” on a hotel search covers several very different experiences. Stay near the ferry and Valletta becomes your neighbour across the water.

Where to Stay in Valletta: Best Streets, Hotel Areas and Who the Capital Suits
Staying in Valletta gives you something day visitors miss: the capital after the cruise crowds and excursion groups have left.
