Tigné Point Clubhouse restaurants to open this year

Strategically built into the south littoral of the Tigné peninsula, the Clubhouse at Tigné Point is positioned to take in a wide-angled panorama of the entire Marsamxett harbour, from Fort St Elmo in the east to Pieta Creek in the south.

Later on this year, two top quality restaurants are to open where patrons will be able to enjoy the magnificent view and some excellent cuisine, according to the Tigné Point team.

The restaurants have been envisaged to include a large foreshore terrace, spread out over an area of over 200 square metres, just 10 metres above sea-level - allowing for covers to be extended from 120 to some 200 during the warmer months.

Apart from restaurants, the Clubhouse will also host an extensive health and leisure centre with a range of amenities including two large multi-purpose fitness halls, a dance studio, sauna, changing rooms and showers, as well as an indoor pool and two regulation-size squash courts. All will be distributed over the clubhouse's three floors.

Once the entire project is complete, the Clubhouse and all its facilities will fit into the wider context of a self-contained residential area unique to the island - a complex conceived specifically to cater for the requirements of both resident families and commercial enterprises, including pedestrian walkways, underground parking, easy access to all amenities within the confines of the complex itself and the unique combination of commercial, residential, cultural and entertainment facilities, all within a single, holistically planned environment.

Tigné Point combines all the facilities traditionally associated with top level tourist resorts in what is essentially a residential and commercial centre.

Once complete, Tigné Point will be home to some 420 resident families, as well as numerous businesses, offices, retail outlets and cultural and entertainment activities in the newly restored Fort Tigné. Two main apartment phases - Tigné South (now practically sold out) and Tigné North (in planning and construction phase) - have been designed to converge upon a central square, Pjazza Tigné which is to become the focal point of the development and a magnet for shoppers and diners.

The residents' foreshore pool deck where the horizon-view pool itself, at 430 square metres, is among the largest in its class, will benefit from the same advantages as the Clubhouse restaurant terrace - limitless sun and and awe-inspiring views.
