There are nineteen beautifully restored 18th century warehouses built during the late Baroque period, stretching along the water’s edge with a backdrop of historic bastions and fortifications. The gemstone buildings were originally constructed by Grandmaster Pinto to be used as stores by the Knights of St. Today, ushering in a modern era, the iconic doors have been revived with an artistic impress

ion of colour, representing the storage of goods from days past, with blue for fish, green for produce, yellow for wheat and red for wine. The heritage buildings have been transformed into a variety of lively restaurants, retail outlets and office space, with diverse services on offer. The Valletta Waterfront is the key element of Valletta Cruise Port, as the recognized centre for thriving cruise business in Malta. The coloured doors are the first and last visual impression which lingers with our visiting guests.

Here's what 'Content Culture' had to say about 'The Secret Story of Malta' production: "There's a new theatre/dining experience in town, and it's a blast. Cagliostro & The Pirate Queen at the Valletta Waterfront is the perfect excuse to enjoy some Maltese history with a twist, performed with gusto. This is a 20-minute piece that has enough silliness to keep the little ones entertained and enough wit to make the adults go 'hmmmm'"

The man was real. The mystery is even better. 👀

Cagliostro wasn’t a character from a gothic novel. He really lived — and he was one of 18th-century Europe’s most enigmatic figures.

And somehow, Malta became part of his extraordinary story…

Discover this and many more fascinating secrets in 'The Secret Story of Malta' — a captivating journey through the island’s hidden, strange and surprising past.

It is with great sadness that we learn of the passing of Jonathan Mamo.

May he rest in peace.

It is with great sadness that we mourn the passing of Norman Hamilton.

A familiar and much-loved figure in Malta’s tourism and media landscape, Norman was also a valued member of the Valletta Waterfront community through Hamilton Travel, whose presence at the Waterfront reflected his enduring connection to travel and to Malta’s maritime gateway.

For decades, Norman brought his energy, vision and passion for travel to the industry, helping generations of Maltese discover the world while also playing an important role in bringing international visitors to our shores.

We extend our deepest condolences to his family, friends and colleagues.

May he rest in peace. 🕊️
