ORA Residences 1 and 2 Bedroom Apartments for Resale in St Julian’s

ORA Residences at St George’s Bay

ORA is a large mixed-use project on St George’s Bay in St Julian’s, bringing together two residential towers (ORA West on 18 floors and ORA East on 17), a five-star Hard Rock Hotel, a shopping mall, restaurants, a private members’ club and landscaped public spaces on a single site. LJ Projects has a selection of ORA apartments available for resale and can take you through each one, from the layout and terrace to the specification and service charges.

Garden Terraces and Planted Towers

Every ORA residence opens onto its own garden terrace, and planting runs up the towers so that greenery becomes part of the facade rather than an afterthought. Interiors draw on the work of MYGG, the Milan-based design studio, with open-plan living areas planned around the terrace. At street level, botanical gardens and public plazas give residents outdoor space that is hard to find in this part of St Julian’s.

The planting scheme is led by Dr Laura Gatti, the award-winning agronomist and landscape designer behind the greenery of the Bosco Verticale towers in Milan. Across a site of more than 18,000 m², around 5,000 m² is given over to green areas, and the development is designed to LEED standards (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design), the international benchmark for sustainable, energy-efficient buildings.

Modern or Classic: Fully Finished Interiors

ORA apartments are sold fully finished, in a choice of two interior moods: a Modern scheme with dark timber and stone, or a Classic scheme in lighter marble and cream tones. Both include parquet flooring in the bedrooms, underfloor heating in the bathrooms, VRF air conditioning, intelligent lighting, soffit ceilings and sound insulation between floors and walls, so there is no fit-out to manage after the deed.

Hotel, Residents’ Club and Wellness Facilities

The five-star Hard Rock Hotel within the complex, with 394 rooms, sits alongside a wellness centre of around 3,300 m² that includes a spa with sauna and steam rooms, indoor and outdoor pools, a gym and what the developer describes as Malta’s first Zen garden. Owners can also join the ORA Residents Club, offered in tiered memberships that open up lounges, dining and business spaces, with household and concierge-style services at the higher tiers. Membership levels, fees and terms are set by the operator, and we will obtain the current details for any unit you are considering.

Dining, Bagatelle and Everyday Shopping

Around twelve restaurants and bars, including the Bagatelle beach club concept on St George’s Bay, sit alongside a shopping mall of roughly 25,000 m² and a 2,000 m² supermarket with its own private corridor to the residences, so daily errands and evenings out happen within a few minutes of home. Underground parking, managed common areas and round-the-clock security complete the residential offer, with Paceville, Spinola Bay and the St George’s Bay beach close by.

Parking and Completion

Residents can buy a car space or a lock-up garage on the underground levels. The developer’s brochure lists car spaces from €45,000 to €55,000 and one-car lock-up garages from €65,000 to €70,000, depending on the level, with more than 1,500 further spaces open to the public. The published timeline targeted keys-in-hand completion for mid-2026; ask our team for the latest site status and current parking prices.

Buying at ORA as a Non-EU National

ORA lies within a Special Designated Area. That means EU and non-EU buyers purchase on the same terms, with no Acquisition of Immovable Property (AIP) permit to apply for, which keeps the process simpler for international investors. Our guide to buying property in Malta covers the wider rules, taxes and notary steps.

Why Buy at ORA Through LJ Projects

You deal with one person throughout. We compare the available units side by side, send the floor plans and specifications, coordinate viewings and stay with you up to the deed. You can also weigh ORA against our own new builds nearby, such as the private Azure Villas in St Julian’s, or browse our other resale properties in Malta.
