Discover Spinola Bay St Julian’s & the Sliema Promenade
Discover Spinola Bay & the Sliema Promenade — Just Minutes’ Walk from Gateway School of English
One of the best things about studying English at Gateway School of English (GSE) in Malta is that you’re never far from the island’s most beautiful spots. Just a 12-minute walk from the school, you’ll find yourself at Spinola Bay — one of the most picturesque and lively areas on the Maltese coastline.
A Stroll Through Spinola Bay
Spinola Bay, with its colourful fishing boats, charming restaurants, and stunning sea views, perfectly captures the relaxed Mediterranean atmosphere that Malta is famous for. In the evenings, the bay comes alive with lights reflecting off the water — the perfect setting for a peaceful walk after class, or a coffee with friends from around the world.
As autumn and winter bring cooler breezes, this is the ideal time to enjoy the Sliema Promenade, which stretches all the way from St. Julian’s to Sliema. It’s one of Malta’s most popular walking and jogging routes, loved by both locals and visitors. You’ll see people out cycling, running, or simply enjoying a sunset stroll along the sea.
Perfect for Your Free Time
Whether you’re into sports, photography, or simply taking in the fresh sea air, the promenade offers something for everyone. You can:
- Go for an early evening jog with the sound of the waves beside you
- Join friends for a seaside walk and practise your English in real conversations
- Stop at one of the many cafés or gelaterias for a treat
- Capture incredible photos of Spinola Bay at night — it’s one of the most photogenic spots in Malta!
The Perfect Place to Practise English Beyond the Classroom
At GSE, learning English doesn’t stop when classes end. Malta’s international environment makes it easy to practise English naturally — whether you’re ordering food, chatting with locals, or meeting other students from around the world. The area around Spinola Bay and the Sliema Promenade has a truly global atmosphere, where English is the common language that connects everyone.
Why Malta is the Ideal Mediterranean Destination for Learning English
Malta offers the perfect mix: high-quality English education, safe surroundings, great weather all year round, and plenty of outdoor activities. Even in autumn and winter, the island enjoys mild temperatures — so you can make the most of your free time by exploring the coast, relaxing by the sea, or enjoying evening walks under the glowing Maltese sky.
So next time you finish your lessons at Gateway School of English, take a short walk down to Spinola Bay. Let the sea breeze inspire you, enjoy the lively atmosphere, and remember — every conversation, every stroll, and every new friend is a step forward in your English journey.
