Why you would live in Queensway Quay, Gibraltar.

It’s the stylish marina, the quieter marina, the calmer marina. Queensway Quay competes with Ocean Village as the favourite marina living experience.

Queensway Quay Marina, Gibraltar

The popularity of Queensway Quay for property owners and tenants arises from location, restaurants, views and overall lifestyle. Sitting between the naval dockyard and Coaling Island, occupants can easily walk into town or access their place of work at Eurotowers or Europort. Morrison’s is a ten minute walk or a short drive. However, the lure of the restaurants reduces the desire to go food shopping. Waterfront, Le Bateau, The Landings, Casa Pepe and the Lounge adorn the waterside and allow for al fresco dining watching the sun set to the west. Each of these establishments would make a claim for inclusion in any list of the top restaurants in Gibraltar.

Where the views from the restaurants are good, the views from the properties are arguably better. The Sails face into the marina and due south from their expansive terraces. The Strait and the Bay of Gibraltar provide the splendid landscape from the higher floors of Ragged and Cormorant apartments. Ordnance has its back to the south, facing due north into the marina, opposite the Sails.

The marina is not on the beaten track of the average tourist, and some restaurant owners would relish greater signage. Residential occupants do not have any trouble with this, preferring their neighbourhood to be frequented by fellow residents and locals. The atmosphere is friendly. Visitor parking is a challenge. The area lacks a convenience store. The original copper pipes need upgrading. But from an estate agency perspective, Queensway Quay remains a firm favourite for locals and newcomers alike.
