Bayview is the pick if you want a guests-only deck on level 7 with an indoor heated pool open all year. Pool and spa are free 10:00 to 18:00, but the address is in Il-Gżira, not St Julian's.
The pool
Bayview's pool deck is on level 7, with indoor and outdoor pools, sunbeds and a view of the Valletta skyline. Pool and spa access is free for guests from 10:00 to 18:00. The hotel's address is The Strand in Il-Gżira.
Our take
Bayview is a guests-only deck like Hotel Valentina, one floor lower on level 7 rather than the 8th. What sets it apart is the year-round indoor heated pool, plus a kids outdoor pool beside the seasonal outdoor one. Sauna and jacuzzi are free in the same 10:00 to 18:00 window.
The downsides are the address and the reviews. It's in Il-Gżira, so you'd be heading into St Julian's for nightlife, and the Google rating is 3.7 from 3056 reviews, the lowest of this group. Sea Salt Spa treatments cost extra.
