Sitting proudly on Sliema’s seafront promenade, Preluna Hotel & Spa places you between Malta’s chic shopping streets and the open Mediterranean. Step outside for long coastal walks, harbour views and handy cafés and boutiques, or wander just a few hundred metres into Sliema’s centre for relaxed bars and restaurants.

The Sliema ferry makes it easy to hop across to Valletta’s honey-coloured bastions and baroque churches, while buzzing St Julian’s – Malta’s nightlife hub – is a short drive or bus ride away. It’s a smart choice if you want a car-free break with Malta’s big-hitters within easy reach.

Sliema, Malta

Dining at Preluna Hotel & Spa is pleasantly varied for a city-seafront hotel. The main Triton Restaurant is a buffet venue serving breakfast, lunch and dinner, with live show-cooking in the evenings and a relaxed, family‑friendly atmosphere.

At the private beach club, the Beach Club Grill & Bar keeps things casual with international favourites and snacks by the water (typically open May–October, with a stronger lunch focus in summer).

For Japanese flavours, there are two options: Ichiban Japanese Restaurant, offering à la carte dishes with show-cooking on the terrace, and Sakura Café & Japanese Cuisine, which serves Japanese‑inspired plates from breakfast through to late evening on selected days, often with live preparation at dinner.

Come sunset, head up to the Skyroom Cocktail Bar & Grill, an adults-only roof-terrace spot with sweeping harbour views and an à la carte dinner menu – a highlight for sundowners. Back at lobby level, La Piazza Lobby Bar is the go‑to for coffees, drinks and a nightcap.

A smart-casual dress code may apply in certain venues (for example, no beachwear and long trousers requested for gentlemen in the sky lounge and main restaurant). Reservations and supplements can vary according to your chosen board basis and season; details are confirmed locally.

What All Inclusive typically includes.

Preluna’s big draw is its private beach club, around 130m from the hotel along the seafront. Here you’ll find:

– A generous outdoor saltwater pool with sunbathing terraces, loungers and sea views
– A dedicated children’s saltwater pool for younger guests
– Direct access to the rocky shoreline for a refreshing dip in the Med

The beach club usually opens from around May to October, with complimentary sunbeds and towels (refundable deposit), while parasols often carry a small local charge. Inflatables are generally permitted, giving the area a relaxed, resort‑style vibe.

Inside the main hotel, there’s also an indoor freshwater pool (typically heated in cooler months), located within the spa area and usually reserved for adults. It’s a useful back-up on breezy days outside the summer season.

Wellness is a strong point here. The spa features a sauna, steam room and whirlpool, along with a menu of massages and beauty treatments, plus an on‑site hairdresser for pre-dinner spruce‑ups. Spa entry and treatments normally carry an extra charge and are generally for guests aged 16+.

Active guests have access to an air-conditioned gym equipped with cardio machines, free weights and fixed‑strength equipment, plus sauna and steam room facilities linked to the spa.

In the evenings, expect regular live entertainment throughout the year, with live music and low‑key shows creating a sociable atmosphere without feeling overly lively.

Additional practical touches include a staffed reception offering concierge support, currency exchange, luggage storage and charging points for mobility scooters.
