The Ultimate Malta Nightlife Guide For 2025

Where Is The Malta Nightlife?

The small island of Malta is based between Sicily and the North-African coast. Most of the action happens along the east coast like in Paceville, in the town of St. Julian’s, famously popular with young party-goers. Most of the bars and clubs there are based around Paceville Piazza. There are many other hotspots dotted around the coast like Sliema and Gianpula Village – so you’re really spoilt for choice. There’s also Valletta, the capital, just a few minutes drive from Paceville. Basically, whether you’re looking to party hard or chill out, Malta has a bit of everything!

Malta International Airport is about 6.5 miles from Paceville. You can either take a bus transfer which will take about an hour, or you can spend €15 – €30 on a taxi, roughly a 20/30 minute trip – whichever is the best choice for you.
