Looking for a wonderfully laid back and relaxing beach vacation, well, look no further than Sliema, Malta.

Loaded with many high-end, and sophisticated bars, as well as shopping centers full of luxury boutiques, and designer stores all blended perfectly with the 18th-century fort in surrounding architecture, it is not very hard to see why so many people are flocking to Sliema.

Of course, like many spots in Malta, those coming to visit - be it friends, family, or loved ones - are often doing so to soak in the wonderful beach life. The beach here, like a lot of them in Malta, is rather rocky, however, he will not see that stopping any of the locals or tourists from enjoying the sun and the surf, as you will see the 5 km stretch of beach dotted with beach umbrellas, loungers and even beach blankets. Though, a lot of families choose to use the lidos that are scattered throughout the beach because of the calmer waters and their addition of poolside cafés. The very sandy St. George's Bay is just a quick bus ride away, and features beaches and waters perfect for families, as well. The promenade circling St. George's Bay is also home to plenty of bars and restaurants, making it the ultimate short little day trip destination for those staying in Sliema.
