Daytime pool parties in Malta

The day pool party format is ideal for enjoying the Maltese sun without sacrificing the atmosphere. Pool, ambient DJ, open bar — the party starts at noon. Perfect for a stag do, hen party or a day with friends before heading to the clubs.

Evening pool parties in Malta

The evening pool party combines the best of both worlds — the golden Maltese sunset light and the rising energy of a DJ set. Paceville rooftops and Qawra beach clubs are the main stages, starting late afternoon and running until midnight.

Nocturnal pool parties in Malta

For those who want the party to never stop, nocturnal pool parties in Malta take the concept even further — lights, lasers, international DJs and an open pool until the heart of the night. A rare format in Europe, available throughout the summer season.

The complete guide to pool parties in Malta

Malta has established itself as Europe's pool party capital for a simple reason: the island combines exceptional sunshine, some of the Mediterranean's most modern beach club facilities, and an international music scene that attracts the best DJs of the season. In Paceville, St Julian's nightlife district, terrace venues and rooftops open their pools during the day with sun loungers, VIP cabanas and cocktails served poolside. The vibe is resolutely festive but accessible — smart casual dress code, young and cosmopolitan crowd from across Europe. Over in Qawra, on the northwest coast of the island, Café del Mar Malta has become unmissable. Set facing the Mediterranean Sea, this iconic beach club hosts sunset sessions with a high-quality sound system, infinity pools and a musical programme blending deep house, melodic techno and electronic. For nocturnal pool parties, Malta venues install laser and lighting rigs that transform the space into a true open-air club. The season runs from May to October, peaking in July and August when some venues host events several times a week. Booking in advance is essential — the best pool parties often sell out weeks before the date.
