FLO Skypool

FLO Skypool is a rooftop pool for adults in the middle of St Julian's. It sits high above the streets, flanked by the Mercury Tower, one of the last designs by Zaha Hadid, on one side and the Portomaso Tower on the other. Guests must be 17 or over, which makes it a calmer, more grown-up choice than a family lido.

The pool is temperature-controlled at a comfortable 28 degrees, and the roof offers sunbeds, gazebos, a bar and a kitchen. If you are weighing it against other places to swim, browse our swimming pools in Malta directory.

Sunbeds, floating beds and gazebos

There is a choice of places to settle. Standard sunbeds include a towel and an umbrella. LUX sunbeds come with a luxury towel and an umbrella, and front row sunbeds sit closest to the water. Floating VIP sunbeds take up to two people, come with luxury towels and sit in the sun, while a gazebo takes up to four people and also includes luxury towels.

Free parking is included, which is unusual in a busy part of town. The venue's prices for sunbeds are given when you book, so ask about the current rates. For the wider picture of where to base yourself, see where to stay in Malta and our hotels in Sliema and St Julian's page.

Food, drink and music

FLO combines hand-crafted cocktails, Mediterranean and Asian inspired cooking and a bold music line-up. The 2026 menu has nibbles such as a tuna taco at €13, halloumi fries at €12.5 and teriyaki chicken skewers at €10.5, plus dim sum, salads and burgers served with fries, with the classic beef burger at €15.

Sushi is a strength: hosomaki, nigiri, sashimi, uramaki rolls and Buddha bowls at €14.5, and a 30 piece chef's selection platter at €42. Desserts include mochi ice cream at €6.50. The drinks menu lists beer on tap, soft drinks, fresh coconut water at €5.95 and cocktails, and a pint of lager is €7.50. Prices were printed in 2026 and may change.

The setting in St Julian's

The rooftop is in the busiest, most modern part of St Julian's, where the Mercury Tower and the Portomaso Tower have become some of the most recognisable landmarks on the Maltese skyline. The surroundings show the evolving architecture of the area, and it is easy to see why a day here feels more urban than a beach club: the pool is set among towers rather than cliffs.

That makes it a fine choice, especially for couples and groups of friends travelling without children, for travellers who want a swim, a cocktail and a view in the same place, without a trip to the coast. A day typically starts at 10:00, when the pool opens, and runs until 18:00, so it suits a long, slow lunch, a few hours of sunbathing and an afternoon of music.

Season, events and getting there

The pool is seasonal. It is closed now and reopens on 1 May 2027, with online bookings for summer 2027 opening from February 2027. When it is open, hours are 10:00 to 18:00 daily. Our Malta weather guide shows what to expect by month, and the best beaches in Malta cover days when you prefer sand.

The setting is also promoted as a private event venue. If you are flying from Britain, our guide to flights to Malta explains routes, and the Malta holidays overview and things to do in Malta will help with the rest. Our Valletta guide is a good day trip for the morning before you head up to the roof, or for the day after, when you want something calmer and more historic.
