Special Designated Areas (SDA)
Tigné Point & Fort Cambridge
Sliema includes two of Malta’s most recognised Special Designated Areas (SDAs): Tigné Point and Fort Cambridge. SDA status makes these developments particularly attractive to foreign buyers, both EU and non-EU nationals, because it allows them to purchase property under the same rights as Maltese citizens, simplifying the process and reducing legal barriers.
Why SDAs are attractive for foreign buyers:
Tigné Point brings together premium coastal living, strong architectural design, and excellent access to retail and leisure. Residences benefit from sea views, high-standard finishes, and on-site amenities that support a practical and comfortable lifestyle. The development’s reputation continues to drive healthy rental demand and long-term value.
Historic coastal fort turned modern landmark
Fort Cambridge offers a calm residential environment with wide terraces, open sea views, and contemporary layouts. Its location near the promenade, cafés, and shopping areas supports year-round convenience, while its rental performance appeals to investors seeking stable long-let demand.
