A seaside town on the south-east coast around a deep bay, with a promenade, restaurants and swimming spots at St Thomas Bay. Apartments and seafront homes here cost noticeably less than in Sliema or St Julian’s.
Apartments are the largest part of the Maltese market. Most are in blocks of a few floors with a lift; the better ones have sea or harbour views, a garage space and a terrace. Check whether common parts and the building are finished and who manages them.
