There’s something about rooftop season in Malta. Maybe it’s the endless golden hours, the warm evening breeze or the fact that almost every skyline comes with an amazing view. From Valletta rooftops to stylish terraces overlooking the coast, these watering holes are made for pretty sunset cocktails and late summer nights.
O’ Sole Rooftop, Valletta
Tucked above Valletta’s historic streets close to the Teatru Manoel, O Sole Mio Rooftop combines city views with a relaxed Mediterranean atmosphere. Expect sunset cocktails, warm lighting and one of the prettiest rooftop settings for slow summer evenings in the capital. Cocktails not your thing? No worries, they also have an extensive list of craft beers and fresh smoothies.

If you’re feeling hungry, the chef’s daily specials are well worth giving a try.

Skyroom Cocktail Bar & Grill, Sliema
Set high above the Sliema coastline, Skyroom brings together panoramic sea views and one of the island’s most nostalgic nightlife stories. Originally opened in 1969 atop the Preluna Hotel, the venue has evolved from glamorous cabaret hotspot to disco-era favourite and now a modern rooftop cocktail bar. Today, it remains a classic summer spot for sunset drinks, and long evenings overlooking the Mediterranean.
