An opportunity to rent a spectacular residence set high above the Maltese coastline on the entire 16th floor of a prestigious five-star hotel, this exceptional 400sqm residence offers one of the most elevated residential experiences available on the island. Designed for those seeking privacy, space and uncompromising quality, the property combines the comfort and discretion of a private home with the services and amenities of an internationally recognised hotel. With full access to an indoor pool, spa, concierge services and a selection of refined dining venues, it represents a rare category of high-end rentals in Malta, appealing to discerning residents accustomed to executive living.

From the moment of arrival, the sense of scale and openness is immediately apparent. Every room opens onto expansive terraces that wrap the apartment, framing uninterrupted panoramic views across Valletta’s historic skyline, Manoel Island, Sliema, Tigné Point and the Mediterranean Sea beyond. These elevated outdoor spaces are integral to the layout, providing a constant connection to the surrounding seascape and flooding the interior with natural light throughout the day. The outlook shifts with the hours, from crisp morning light over the harbour to warm evening tones and a dramatic night-time cityscape.

The internal layout has been carefully planned to balance generous entertaining areas with private, well-proportioned accommodation. At its centre lies a spacious open-plan living area, designed to accommodate both formal entertaining and relaxed daily living. Floor-to-ceiling glazing enhances the sense of volume while drawing the eye towards the terraces and sea views. Adjacent to the main living space is a study or secondary sitting room, offering flexibility for home working, reading or quieter moments away from the principal reception areas.

The kitchen and dining space reflects a contemporary, design-led approach, equipped with state-of-the-art appliances and sleek cabinetry suited to both everyday use and hosting guests. Its position allows for seamless interaction between cooking, dining and outdoor living, with direct access to terrace areas that extend the entertaining space during warmer months. Materials and finishes have been selected for their durability and understated elegance, reinforcing the refined character of the residence without unnecessary embellishment.

Accommodation is arranged across three double bedrooms, each benefiting from en-suite bathroom facilities and direct terrace access. The principal bedrooms are further enhanced by walk-in wardrobes, providing ample storage while maintaining clean, uncluttered lines. These private suites are conceived as calm retreats, where comfort and privacy are prioritised, and where views of the sea and skyline are enjoyed from the moment one wakes. Bathrooms are finished to a high standard, incorporating quality fittings, walk-in showers and thoughtful lighting that complements the overall design.

Throughout the apartment, advanced technology underpins everyday comfort and security. Central air conditioning ensures consistent climate control, while underfloor heating in the bedrooms and bathrooms adds an additional layer of comfort during cooler months. A comprehensive fire sprinkler system, alarm and CCTV provide peace of mind, particularly valuable for residents who travel frequently or maintain international lifestyles. These features place the property firmly within the category of upmarket residences for rent in Malta, where discretion and reliability are as important as aesthetics.

One of the defining aspects of this residence is the level of service available. With concierge and porter services on hand, daily living is streamlined, whether arranging transport, receiving guests or coordinating household needs. The ability to access hotel facilities transforms the experience into something beyond a conventional rental, offering wellness and leisure options typically reserved for short-stay guests. Residents can enjoy the indoor pool and spa at their leisure, dine at on-site restaurants, or simply retreat to the privacy of their own floor above it all.

While the property itself is the clear focal point, its setting adds further appeal. Positioned within easy reach of Sliema’s seafront promenade, marinas, cafés and retail amenities, everyday conveniences are close at hand without intruding on the tranquillity of the residence. Valletta’s cultural and commercial offerings are visible from the terraces and readily accessible, making this an ideal base for professionals or families seeking proximity to Malta’s key business and lifestyle hubs. Transport links and main arterial roads allow for efficient connections across the island, including to international schools and the airport.

 The opportunity to rent an entire floor within a five-star hotel is exceptionally rare, particularly one offering this level of internal space, outdoor living and panoramic views. For corporate tenants, diplomatic residents or individuals relocating to Malta for extended periods, it provides a turnkey solution that combines prestige with practicality. The long-term appeal of such executive property to let lies in its ability to meet international expectations while benefiting from Malta’s stable property market and growing demand for premium accommodation.

This residence will resonate with those who value privacy without isolation, service without intrusion, and design that prioritises comfort and longevity over trends. It is equally suited to hosting high-level guests, enjoying quiet family life, or simply appreciating Malta from one of its most elevated vantage points. For clients exploring waterfront properties Malta has to offer within the upper tier of the rental market, this home stands apart for its scale, setting and seamless integration of five-star living into a private residential environment.

Represented with discretion and insight by Christie’s International Real Estate Malta, this exceptional 16th floor residence presents a rare opportunity to secure one of the island’s most exclusive upmarket residences for rent. It is a property defined not by excess, but by balance, quality and a quiet confidence that will endure well beyond first impressions.
