Lija is the most exclusive of the Three Villages and one of Malta's most prestigious addresses. Embassies, high-value villas, and immaculately maintained streets characterise this small, quiet village. The famous Lija Summer Festa fireworks draw crowds once a year, but otherwise the area maintains an unhurried, exclusive atmosphere.
