On March 1, 2024, a new landmark officially debuted in Smart City, Malta—a state-of-the-art shopping destination known as Shoreline Mall. As the largest shopping center in Malta’s history, Shoreline Mall not only brings renewed attention to the southern region of the island but also establishes itself as a vibrant hub for shopping and entertainment. With a vast array of offerings, from flagship stores of major retail brands to a diverse food court, and from gaming zones to family-friendly attractions, Shoreline Mall promises to provide enjoyment for every visitor. Its appeal lies not only in its impressive size but also in its commitment to offering a unique, year-round shopping experience for all ages.
The Grand Opening of Shoreline Mall in Malta
Reaching Shoreline Mall from various cities in Malta is incredibly convenient, with clear signage guiding visitors through Smart City. For those driving, the mall features a spacious underground parking facility that currently offers unlimited free parking for all shoppers. Elevators provide easy access from the parking area to the mall’s expansive central atrium. Additionally, thanks to the numerous bus stops throughout Smart City, public transport users can easily reach the mall, with a bus stop located right outside, making it accessible for everyone living in Malta.
Upon entering the shopping center, visitors will notice that accessibility and sustainability are prioritized in every detail. The mall is equipped with well-maintained restrooms, mother-and-baby rooms for diaper changes and nursing, and a central air conditioning system that runs throughout the entire facility. Notably, Shoreline Mall boasts higher ceilings than other shopping centers in Malta, creating a spacious atmosphere that alleviates the feeling of confinement often experienced in places like the Mercury Tower. Unlike traditional shopping centers that place food courts on the top floor, Shoreline Mall features open dining spaces throughout various areas, with brands such as Starbucks, Boost (a juice and smoothie expert), and Caffe Pascucci, allowing visitors to enjoy lunch or coffee without leaving the mall.
Moreover, Shoreline Mall has introduced a unique social media photo space called #instamuse. This innovative concept aims to create a one-of-a-kind social media paradise designed and built locally, where visitors can take photos against a variety of fun backdrops and themed rooms, ranging from a pink airplane to Marilyn Monroe’s lips, and from mirror balls to destruction balls. Certain areas of the photo space will change with the seasons and in collaboration with guest artists or partner brands, ensuring that customers have a fresh experience with each visit.
In the mall’s expansive central hall, a variety of kiosks can be found. Designated areas within the mall showcase a long list of brands, including Pandora, MAC Cosmetics, and Nespresso. Additionally, some exciting new stores, such as Home Mate, have opened here, saving shoppers the trip to Mrieħel for home goods. Services like car washes, optometrists, and even on-site pharmacies and doctors are also available. However, the supermarket area within the mall is still under development, and it remains unclear which supermarket brand will be introduced.
The opening of Shoreline Mall not only marks the birth of a new shopping center in Malta but also exemplifies a multifunctional complex. In addition to the bustling shops and entertainment facilities on the ground floor, the upper levels house the SDA residential project, representing a new liquid combination model that signals a new era for commercial real estate in Malta. Shoreline Mall is not just a model for the future development of shopping centers in Malta; it also holds significant potential to become one of the best shopping centers in Europe. This new shopping destination is transforming the southeastern part of Malta into a vibrant hub for living and travel, attracting an increasing number of local residents and international visitors eager to explore and enjoy its offerings.
