How far is Malta Airport to Sliema?

Sliema is about 7 miles (12 km) from the airport and just 25 minutes away by taxi, or 60 minutes by shared shuttle.

Why visit Sliema

Sliema is a stylish Maltese retreat with Blue Flag beaches and lots of shopping opportunities. Only a short drive from the capital, it’s been a long time favourite spot for the rich and offers a laid-back, peaceful holiday for couples and families.

Things to do

Although the beach is rocky, it’s a popular place to relax in the sun, and loungers and parasols are available to hire. Lidos dotted along the beach are ideal for swimming, especially with the kids, but the beach also offers a range of watersports. For sand, head to St George’s Bay.

For a fun-filled day for the whole family, take the kids to Splash & Fun Water Park, where there are plenty of rides and slides as well as activities for toddlers. A cruise from Sliema Harbour is a great way to see the coast, taking you past Valletta and the famous Blue Lagoon and Dingli Cliffs.

Top restaurants

Sliema has plenty of restaurants to choose from, with a wide range of International menus, but if it’s traditional Maltese food you’re looking for then head to Tower Road, where the outdoor terraces provide views out over the sea. Ta Kris Restaurant is a popular, family-run restaurant serving delicious traditional dishes and fresh fish.

When to visit

Summer is the best time to go for guaranteed sunshine, however Malta is a great destination to visit at any time of the year with lots of things going on all year round.

Types of HolidayTaxis transfer vehicles
March 31, 2023

At HolidayTaxis, we recognize that every traveler is different and may have their own preferences and requirements for their airport transfers. To accommodate this, we offer a diverse range of transfer vehicles for our customers to choose from, each with its own set of benefits and advantages.

For example, if you're traveling in a large group, our minibus or shared airport shuttle transfers might be the best option for you, as they can comfortably accommodate a larger number of passengers and their luggage. On the other hand, if you're traveling with just one or two companions, a private car may be more suitable for you as they offer a more intimate and personalised experience.
