Beachfront Weddings in Sliema: Your Dream Malta Destination by the Sea

Picture this: the warm Mediterranean breeze gently tousling your hair, the waves whispering just a few steps away, and that golden Maltese sunlight dancing on your skin as you say I do. Sounds like a Nicholas Sparks novel, right? Except this isn’t fiction—it’s Sliema.

Welcome to your ultimate guide to beachfront weddings in Sliema, Malta. Whether you’re already smitten with the idea or just curious about what this coastal gem has to offer, we’re diving headfirst into everything you need to know for planning your sand-between-your-toes kind of day.

💙 Why Choose Sliema for Your Beachfront Wedding?

Sliema isn’t just a town—it’s a vibe. Tucked on the northeastern coast of Malta, it’s the kind of place where pastel sunsets meet old-world charm and gelato stands conveniently outnumber traffic lights. The waterfront promenade (also known as The Strand) is where history, culture, and chill beach energy collide.

But for couples? It’s a coastal paradiso. Here’s why:

Perfect backdrops: Azure sea views, limestone promenades, and intimate rocky coves.
Easy access: Just 20 minutes from Malta International Airport—ideal for international guests.
Fantastic weather: Over 300 sunny days a year (yes, your sun-kissed dream is pretty much guaranteed).
Loads of luxury: Think sea-view hotels, rooftop receptions, yacht weddings, and five-star menus.

☀️ When Should You Get Married in Sliema?

Short answer: between May and October. That’s when Malta truly shines—with long days, warm seas, and those epic pastel sunsets. July and August are hot and busy, so if you’re crowd-averse, aim for late spring or early autumn.

💍 Beachfront Wedding Planning Tips (from someone who’s seen it all)

🪞 Hair tip: Coastal wind is romantic… until your veil takes flight mid-ceremony. Choose secure styles (or rock that beachy bun).

👠 Shoes: Don’t fight the sand. Wedges, barefoot sandals, or no shoes at all? Your call.

📸 Photos: The light in Malta during golden hour? Chef’s kiss. Plan your ceremony time accordingly. Need proof? Peek at my portfolio below 👇

🎷 Music: Consider acoustic sets, or a small band. Saxophone + sea = actual magic.

🍷 What Your Guests Will Love (a.k.a. reasons they’ll talk about your wedding for years)

Local cuisine – Think fresh seafood, rabbit stew, and flaky pastizzi.
Boat trips to Blue Lagoon
Exploring Valletta, Mdina, or hopping over to Gozo
Late-night seaside gelato runs (trust me, they’re a thing)
