The Edge Lido

The Edge Lido sits on the rocky shore beside the Radisson Blu Resort in St Julian's, a short walk from the sea. It is a summer lido with clear pools, sun loungers and a Mediterranean atmosphere, aimed at people who want a day of simple, comfortable relaxation with a little luxury. A restaurant on the same terrace means lunch and a swim need never be far apart.

If you are comparing places to swim, our swimming pools in Malta directory lists other lidos and pools, and our Malta weather guide shows when the sea and sun are at their best.

Day passes and what they include

A day pass gives access to the pools and loungers for a day of sunbathing, swimming and unwinding. It includes a sun lounger, an umbrella and a food and drink voucher to use at the restaurant. For safety, umbrellas stay closed during strong winds.

The lido's own description promises a summer of relaxation, fun and a little luxury, and the layout backs that up: more than one pool, terraces stepping down towards the water, and loungers positioned for sea views. The photographs show a DJ playing by the water, a sign that the lido can be lively as well as peaceful on event days.

The day pass is a cost-effective way to try the lido without committing to a membership, which suits visitors on a short holiday. The lido welcomes families, and there is a dedicated kids' menu in the restaurant. If you want a beach alternative, see our best beaches in Malta.

Seasonal memberships

For a longer stay, seasonal memberships run for five days or seven days a week. The 2026 rates were €480 for an adult on the five-day gold rate and €710 on the seven-day premium rate. Couples paid €770 or €1160, and families paid €940 or €1380, with additional children at €150 or €200. Members also received 15% off individual treatments at Dee Spas in the resort, excluding offers, courses and packages.

Those prices are for 2026 and the season has ended, so ask about next year. If you are planning a long summer, our Malta holidays overview and where to stay in Malta pages are a good place to start, and the hotels in Sliema and St Julian's guide covers the area.

The Edge Restaurant

The Edge Restaurant is on the poolside terrace and looks over the sea. The menu focuses on fresh, locally sourced ingredients, from starters to desserts, with a curated wine list and handcrafted cocktails. It suits relaxed lunches as well as special celebrations, and families are welcome.

Dining poolside means you can move between a swim and a table without changing venue, and the setting is as suited to a lazy lunch in a swimsuit as to a dressed-up evening. Guests who want a quieter meal can book The Edge Restaurant separately from the lido, since the restaurant has its own booking route.

The photographs show tables under white pergolas, lit up in the evening, with a historic fort glowing across the water.

Events and weddings

The lido is also a venue for events. It offers indoor and outdoor spaces for cocktail parties, corporate gatherings, summer soirees and pool parties, with catering and a dedicated events team. It is also presented as a wedding venue, with a gazebo above the sea, from intimate gatherings to large celebrations.
