Harbour Malta · Area Guide
Living in Ta' Xbiex
Quiet marina enclave favoured by diplomats. Ta' Xbiex is one of Malta's most exclusive small neighbourhoods — a quiet residential enclave of villas, townhouses, and apartments set around the yacht marina. Its position between Gzira, Msida, and Valletta Harbour makes it extremely convenient while remaining calm. Embassies and diplomatic residences dot the streets, and the waterfront promenade is one of the nicest walking routes in the harbour area.
