Harbour Malta
Hillside expat enclave with sea views
Swieqi occupies the hillside above St Julian's and is one of Malta's most popular addresses for expat professionals, particularly those working in the iGaming and tech sectors. Elevated position means many properties have sea views, and the quieter streets are a welcome contrast to the bustle below. The area has developed rapidly over the past decade with modern apartment complexes and good amenities.
