Spinola Bay, Balluta and the Paceville quarter make St Julian’s Malta’s liveliest district, with hotels, restaurants and offices within walking distance. Buyers look here for seafront apartments, penthouses with bay views and the quieter residential streets around Ta’ Ġiorni and Mount Carmel.
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.
