The local health and leisure industry is one area to have grown substantially in recent years. Development projects over the past decade or so, especially in the sphere of tourism, have brought with them a sharp increase in demand for high quality sports catering and leisure facilities, often as not built into the infrastructure of five star hotels and resorts and aimed primarily at the incoming tourist market.

As a result, not only have the standards on offer locally improved by leaps and bounds, but so too have the expectations of a client-base which is growing increasingly more discerning in its preferences and choices.

If Tigné Point is in any way an exception to this prevailing trend, it is because the project 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 Tigne. 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 Tigne which is to become the focal point of the development and a magnet for shoppers and diners alike. 

Strategically built into the south littoral of the Tigné peninsula, the Clubhouse at Tigne Point is uniquely 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 will be opening to the public who will be able to enjoy excellent cuisine and the ancillary benefit of one of Malta’s most spectacular views.  It comes as no surprise, then, that the restaurants have been envisaged to include a large foreshore terrace, spread out over an area of over 200 sq m, just 10 m above sea-level - allowing for the provision to extend the covers 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 - are distributed over the clubhouse’s three floors.

Meanwhile, benefiting from the same natural advantages as the restaurant terrace (limitless sun and awe-inspiring views) is the residents’ foreshore pool deck where the horizon view pool itself, at 430 sq m, is among the largest in its class.

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.
