The Radisson Blu Resort St Julians enjoys a prime seafront setting on the edge of St Julian’s, with uninterrupted views across the open Mediterranean and the twinkling skyline of the resort. You’re tucked away enough for peaceful pool days, yet within walking distance of St George’s Bay, Bay Street Shopping Complex and the bars and clubs of Paceville.

A handy bus stop about 450m away connects you to Valletta’s honey‑stone streets in around 25 minutes, while the walled city of Mdina – Malta’s former capital – is roughly 13km away and perfect for an evening wander and dinner. It’s a location that works just as well for lazy sea‑view stays as it does for exploring the island by day and sampling the nightlife after dark.

Dining at Radisson Blu Resort St Julians is deliberately relaxed but high quality, with a strong international slant and plenty of Mediterranean influence.

Kontiki Restaurant
The main restaurant serves a generous buffet breakfast and relaxed dinners, with a mix of hot and cold options and regular themed dishes. Weekend buffets are particularly popular, and there’s a children’s menu and highchairs for younger guests. Beachwear isn’t permitted in the evenings, so think smart casual.

Le Bistro
A cosy à la carte spot open for lunch and dinner, Le Bistro focuses on international favourites with a Maltese twist – think fresh pasta, grilled fish, seasonal salads and indulgent desserts. Perfect when you’re in the mood for a slower, more intimate meal.

The Edge Restaurant
Perched by the pool and open roughly May–October (weather and occupancy dependent), The Edge brings the holiday vibes with sea‑view lunches and dinners. Expect crowd‑pleasing international and Italian dishes – pizzas, grills, pasta and fresh local seafood – ideal for long, lazy meals near the water.

Wet Bar (swim‑up)
The star of summer is the Wet Bar, a swim‑up bar in the outdoor pool serving light bites and drinks, so you can order without leaving the water. It usually operates from June–September and also offers a kids’ menu.

Bridge Bar
The hotel’s lounge bar is the place for pre‑dinner aperitifs and nightcaps, occasionally accompanied by live music. It also serves light snacks and bar‑style dishes during the day. A smart dress code applies in the evenings.

Please note: opening times, concepts and availability of each restaurant and bar vary by season and occupancy; reservations and supplements can depend on your board basis. Information is based on previous seasons and may be subject to change.

The resort is all about that blue‑on‑blue horizon. Two outdoor pools take pride of place on the seafront terrace:

• A saltwater pool with children’s section, waterslides, sunbathing deck, loungers and parasols – inflatables and water toys are permitted, and there are baby‑changing facilities.
• A freshwater pool with its own children’s section, again with a dedicated sun terrace, loungers, parasols and baby‑changing facilities.

The Wet Bar swim‑up service operates from one of the outdoor pools in summer, so you can sip a cocktail, juice or cold beer from the water. Fresh pool towels are complimentary.

Inside, a heated freshwater pool at the spa is available year‑round – ideal if you’re visiting Malta in spring, autumn or winter.

While the hotel is set on the rocky coastline rather than a sandy stretch, St George’s Bay Beach (a small sandy cove) is around 750m away on foot, placing a traditional beach day within easy reach.
Water sports – from kayaking and pedalos to scuba diving, snorkelling, windsurfing and motorised options – are available in season and operated by an external provider for an additional charge (generally 16+).

Wellness is a strong point here. The spa offers a sauna, steam room, heated indoor pool and a full menu of massages and beauty treatments, plus an on‑site hairdresser (all at extra charge). It’s a great way to unwind after a day exploring Valletta or Mdina.

Fitness fans have use of an air‑conditioned gym equipped with cardio machines, a free‑weights area and stretching zone (minimum age 16 years). There’s also a tennis court if you fancy a set with a sea breeze.

Evenings are typically low‑key but sociable: you can expect occasional live music throughout the year, with programmes varying between summer (June–September) and the cooler months.

Additional handy facilities include:
• 24‑hour reception and concierge
• Currency exchange and luggage storage
• Equipment hire (kettle, wheelchair, pushchair, mobility scooter – charges may apply)
• Access to English‑language newspapers (chargeable)

Facilities and entertainment programmes can vary by season and occupancy, and some services incur a local fee.
