6 Luxury Beach Clubs to Hit in Malta This Summer
When June arrives, the desire to trade the historic streets for a sunbed hits hard. Luckily, the island’s luxury beach club scene is in full swing, offering everything from infinity pools overlooking the open ocean to floating islands anchored in the Mediterranean. If you are looking to spend a day sipping cocktails and soaking up that 32°C heat, these are six incredible spots to add to your list right now.
Noma Island, Comino
This is the newest and most talked-about spot of the season. Describing itself as Malta’s “fourth island,” Noma Island is a massive, self-sufficient floating platform anchored out at sea near Comino. It is a completely unique concept for Europe. You take a brief 7-minute shuttle boat from the Marfa Jetty to get there, and once on board, you are entirely surrounded by turquoise water. You can book high-end sunbeds or private cabanas, swim directly in the open sea, and dine on premium fresh seafood and pasta. It is the ultimate choice if you want an exclusive, slightly mystical day out on the water.

Manta
Located right on the Tigné Seafront in Sliema, Manta brings a sophisticated, high-end Mediterranean energy to the harbor area. The standout feature here is the view, you get to lounge by a pristine pool with the dramatic, golden skyline of Valletta serving as your direct backdrop. The vibe is refined and relaxed, with an international staff and a fantastic soundtrack provided by live DJs as the afternoon melts into night. The restaurant specialises in a fusion of Greek and Mediterranean flavours, making it just as popular for an al fresco dinner as it is for a day of sunbathing.

Aqualuna
Situated on the lively Gżira promenade, Aqualuna is a chic, panoramic lido that offers an oasis of calm right in the middle of the urban harbour area. It features a stunning infinity pool that looks straight out over the water towards the yachts of the Manoel Island Marina and the Valletta bastions. It has a very lively, social atmosphere with regular summer events, excellent cocktails, and a diverse Mediterranean menu. It is an incredibly convenient and luxurious option if you want a premium pool day without travelling to the far north of the island.
Beefbar on the Beach

By day, it is a sleek pool club where stylish sunbeds and double gazebos encircle a gorgeous infinity pool. The music is laid-back, the service is incredibly attentive, and you have direct access to the sea. True to its name, the food here is a major draw, offering world-class, premium cuts of beef alongside fresh seafood and inventive small plates designed for sharing.
