Home to a large expat community and the island's most active rental market, it offers unmatched walkability and a lively but not nightlife-heavy atmosphere. The Tigne Point development at the peninsula tip adds modern shopping and high-end apartments to the mix. Updated daily from every major Malta estate agency.
