SKYBEACH - The Perfect Party Venue!

Living in Malta and having your birthday in summer, definitely has its perks! Last Sunday was my boyfriend's birthday, and to celebrate, he wanted to spend the day relaxing in style by a pool. Of course, SKYBEACH at Intercontinental was the obvious choice. It's the hip new place to be during the summer to chillax in style with idyllic surroundings and stunning views all around!

I had been meaning to go ever since I was invited to the opening party, which sadly I had to decline because of work commitments so this was indeed, the perfect occasion to visit. Luckily, one of my better half's friends got us on the guest list and we just had to make our way to Intercontinental Hotel in St. Julian's. 

Situated on the hotel's 19th floor atop the luxurious Highline Suites, SKYBEACH is home to Malta's most tranquil infinity pool which provides a stark contrast to the hustle and bustle of the busy St. Julian's district. 

All nine of us arrived there at around 1 pm and were greeted with a welcome drink before our hostess showed us to our gazebo and three lounge chairs. Towels were also provided. The gazebo was quite inviting with plush cushions signed with the Events By Martin logo - a household name when it comes to exclusive event organization and everything is in white - I say it's just perfect! In fact, EMB organize EBM Sundays at SkyBeach and on the day, DJ Bene Marshall was playing the hottest summer tunes all day long.

We didn't really make much use of the gazebo and sun beds as the day was quite hot and we preferred having frequent dips in the pool instead but they are nice to have for when you want to relax or just nibble on some of the tasty food offerings - my favourite was the salmon tartare.

We had a full day of laughs, good food and drinks and just good company in general with very pleasant surroundings. It turned out to be the perfect birthday for my man!
