Russian Massage Spa Sliema

Russian Massage Spa Sliema is the Sliema branch of Russian Massage Malta, a group that brings the tradition of Russian therapeutic massage to the island through six studios. This one is at 7 Triq il-Kreche in Sliema, on the waterfront side of the town where many UK visitors stay. It is listed in our directory of spas in Malta and offers professional treatments for locals and visitors alike, with a focus on deep tissue, relaxing and therapeutic massage.

The massage menu

The group publishes one menu across its studios, starting at €40. The shortest option is a 40-minute anti-stress massage at €40, using gentle, soothing techniques. A 60-minute relaxing massage is €50, and a 60-minute foot reflexology session, working on the reflex points of the feet, is also €50.

For firmer work there is a 60-minute deep tissue massage at €60, which uses focused pressure on deep-seated muscular knots and tension. If you want more time, a two-hour relaxing massage costs €89, described as the ultimate relaxation experience with gentle, rhythmic strokes. The premium option is a 60-minute four-hand massage at €89, in which two therapists work in synchrony.

Sessions are tailored to each guest, so tell the therapist how much pressure you like and which areas you would like to focus on. A short treatment suits a lunchtime break, while the longer options suit a slower afternoon.

These are relaxation and wellness treatments. If you have a health condition or are unsure what suits you, speak to your own doctor before booking.

Visiting the Sliema studio

Sliema is one of Malta's most popular bases for UK visitors, with a long seafront promenade, shops and restaurants. The studio is a short walk or bus ride from many of the places covered in our guide to hotels in Sliema, which also covers nearby St Julian's and Gżira. If you are still deciding on your base, our guide to where to stay in Malta compares the areas.

Walk-ins are always welcome, so you can drop in after a morning on the promenade, or you can contact the group in advance to reserve your preferred time and studio. The studios are open every day of the week from 10:00 to 21:00, which suits a late afternoon treatment after a day out.

Payment can be made in cash, by Revolut or PayPal, or in USDC or Bitcoin. The group's website is available in English, French, Italian and Russian.

Part of a six-studio group

Russian Massage Malta runs six studios: this one in Sliema and five in St Julian's and Paceville, at Church Street, Triq Gort near Mercury Tower and Wilga Street. If your plans change, you can walk into any of them. The group's therapists are trained in the Russian approach and each session is adapted to the person on the table. That flexibility is helpful on a short break, when you may be moving between Sliema, St Julian's and Valletta.

A massage works well alongside a day of things to do in Malta, a stroll around the capital covered in our Valletta guide, or a swim at one of the best beaches in Malta. The weather guide by month will help you time a trip, and the Malta holidays overview covers the practical side of planning it.
