Tigné Point

At the tip of Sliema, Tigné Point combines sea and harbour views towards Valletta with a shopping mall, a piazza and a historic fort — and Special Designated Area status for international buyers.

Fort Tigné

Tigné Point occupies the peninsula at the eastern tip of Sliema, where Marsamxett Harbour meets the open sea. From many homes the view takes in Valletta’s skyline on one side and the Mediterranean on the other. It is one of Malta’s leading Special Designated Areas, which is why it is so popular with international buyers.

Why buyers choose Tigné Point

  • SDA status — buy without an AIP permit, own more than one property and let freely. See SDAs explained.
  • Views — open sea, harbour and Valletta.
  • Convenience — The Point shopping mall, supermarkets, restaurants and cafés on site.
  • Heritage and space — the restored Fort Tigné and a landscaped piazza by the sea.
  • Sliema on the doorstep — the promenade, the Strand and the ferry to Valletta.

Homes at Tigné Point

Apartments range from compact one-bedroom homes to generous family apartments and penthouses, many with terraces and sea views. Floor level, orientation and the direction of the view drive value most strongly.

Tigné Point and residency

A Tigné Point home can be your qualifying property for the MPRP or the Global Residence Programme if it meets the programme’s price or rent threshold. Because anyone can buy here, it removes the AIP step from the process.

Living here

Tigné Point suits those who want city convenience with sea air — professionals, couples, families who like to walk to cafés and the sea, and part-year residents who value a managed setting. Read the neighbouring Sliema guide for the wider area.
