Malta offers a growing number of rooftop bars spread across its main island and smaller neighboring islands. These bars are located primarily atop hotels and restaurants, providing an elevated view of the Mediterranean landscape, historic towns, and sea. Options range from upscale hotel terraces to relaxed lounges, catering to different preferences. Some locations like Infinity by Hugo's and The Skyroom Cocktail Bar and Grill are situated in the island's tourist centers, while others such as Fontanella Tea Garden in Mdina or The Roof at Il-Ħaġar in Victoria, Gozo, provide a setting outside the capital area. Many of these establishments serve cocktails and international cuisine, including fusion concepts like Al Fresco Thai Fusion Restaurant or Temptasian Restaurant and Lounge 360. Most bars operate in the evening, though some offer daytime service. The elevation of terraces varies depending on the building and location. Bars like SkyBeach and Medusa Sky Bar cater to a younger crowd, while places such as The De Mondion within the fortified city of Mdina offer a quieter setting. Malta's rooftop scene continues to develop, adding another dimension to the archipelago's dining and nightlife landscape.
