Book here for an adults-only hotel with two pools: an outdoor pool on the 8th floor and an indoor one on the 7th with a sauna and steam room. The outdoor season is May to October.
The pool
The outdoor pool is on the 8th floor of AX The Victoria in Sliema, with panoramic views of Sliema. Cocktails and wine are served. The indoor pool on the 7th floor has a steam room, a sauna and a mobile pool hoist.
Our take
Against AX The Palace, the Victoria is the plainer pool: no infinity edge and no named pool bar. What it offers is the indoor pool one floor down, which gives you somewhere to swim outside the May to October season.
The downside is that the hotel doesn't publish non-guest access, and the outdoor deck can be booked for private events. On an event day the deck may not be open to guests, so ask before you plan around it.
