St Julian's and Paceville are Malta's main nightlife areas. Paceville lies on the hill between Spinola Bay and St George's Bay.

It is the scene of Malta's year-round nightlife and offers leisure, entertainment and dining to suit all tastes.

There is plenty to choose from: Paceville has the latest in club DJ music, as well as piano bars, an elegant casino and superb restaurants. The casino is in Villa Dragonara, once the private home of a 19th century Maltese aristocrat.

Picturesque St Julian's Bay, still used by fishermen, is lined with bougainvillea-clad caf'es and restaurants. The coastline of St Julian's and Paceville is home to several of Malta's newest, five-star hotels and a deluxe leisure, residential and marina complex.
