Overview

Newly opened and perfectly positioned in the heart of Sliema, Courtyard by Marriott Sliema puts you moments from Malta’s beloved promenade, cafés and coastline. This polished 4-star base blends contemporary Marriott styling with a relaxed Maltese mood: gaze out over the harbour from the rooftop pool, slip down to the spa for a steam and massage, then wander out to waterfront bars and the Valletta ferry in minutes.

Think glass-fronted modern design, rooftop swimming pool and skyline views over Sliema and Marsamxett Harbour. Courtyard by Marriott Sliema pairs city-hotel practicality with holiday touches – indoor pool, spa, and bright, comfortable rooms – making it a smart choice whether you’re here for Malta’s historic sights, waterfront strolls or low-key sun-and-sea escapes. For couples and friends who want Malta’s urban buzz and seafront charm rolled into one base, Courtyard by Marriott Sliema nails the brief. You’re in Sliema resort centre, around 100m from the promenade and 400m from the rocky beach platforms, with the Valletta ferry roughly 1.9km away. It’s about 30 minutes from Malta International Airport (MLA). See more Malta holidays.

Sliema is Malta’s chic seafront hub, known for its long promenade, shopping streets and easy access to neighbouring St Julian’s and Valletta. Courtyard by Marriott Sliema sits right in the resort centre, so you can step out to waterfront cafés, designer boutiques and coastal paths within minutes.

Rocky bathing platforms and lidos along Sliema’s shoreline give you easy access to the sea, while a quick ferry hop across the harbour opens up the baroque treasures of Valletta – from St John’s Co‑Cathedral to the city’s grand forts and theatres. Paceville’s nightlife is only a short taxi ride away if you fancy a livelier evening.

Facilities

Pool & outdoors


Head up to the roof terrace for the hotel’s outdoor freshwater pool, framed by sunbeds and parasols and perfectly placed for city and harbour views. It’s a laid-back space for cooling off between sightseeing or lingering with a drink from the rooftop bar. Pool towels are provided so you can travel lighter.

Downstairs at the spa centre you’ll find a heated indoor pool, great for a relaxing swim outside of the main summer months or if you prefer a more tranquil atmosphere.

While Courtyard by Marriott Sliema doesn’t have its own private beach, you’re just around 400m from Sliema’s seafront bathing areas and lidos, where you can access the clear Mediterranean waters from rocky platforms or nearby beach clubs (local charges may apply).
