Manoel Island

Manolo Island is a very beautiful place especially for photoshoot, people who are looking for a quieter place, and not be disturbed by crowds, its the best place, We were photographed by Anna Izmaylova a wonderful photographer based in Malta with very fair prices and made us feel at ease during the photoshoot

I really like this island. So nice, so peaceful, tranquil. One of the few places in Malta not as yet being developed. I really hope it never is. It should be declared a national park

Manoel Island lies between Sliema and Valletta, connected to the former by a causeway along which you can walk. The island has a slightly derelict feel, with many signs warning that you must obey the security guards and that you must not stray from the path. Visiting feels transgressive. Naughty. Anyway, after walking along the causeway you come to the edge of a large fort, built by the Knights of St John – this is currently being restored so you cannot enter. You can, on the other hand, walk all the way around the outside – this includes right up to the ornate entry door. The fort itself is an impressive, chunky thing and the island offers excellent views of Valletta and the citadel there. I think if we’re open, this would be a five star place to visit. The island seems to be popular with those looking for a secluded spot to sunbathe, to drink and to wander. There are several drinks machines on site so you can buy water.

When you are coming at Manoel Island , please bring some wet cat food as there are many stray cats there 🙏 they can be petted and they are friendly ❤️

It's beautiful inside,unfortunately, the visit inside is not always available and only happens on specified dates. Outside it’s good for swimming, but don’t have structure like bar and shade to stay.

Great vantage point of Sliema, you can drive to a certain point, and then you have to walk. Some areas are secured and restricted and not possible to continue, but there are still open walkways and pathways around. Great for a casual stroll!!!

A small island where on one side you can see Sliema and on the other side Valetta. It is quite abandoned, in fact there are signs everywhere stating that there is a risk of some old construction parts falling down. Unfortunately it is not well maintained. Most of the buildings are not used anymore and they are not in good shape. Though still it is nice to take a walk on the island. You can either take the proper path or jump from one stone to the other one on the shore and go back to the fond memories of your childhood 😊

Really enjoyed exploring the island and seeing lizards.
