Boasting year round warm weather, never-ending sunshine and some of the most perfectly clear waters in the Mediterranean, it’s no wonder the Maltese Islands are one of Europe’s most popular summer and winter holiday destinations.

Located just south of Sicily, Malta and its accompanying islands of Gozo and Comino offer up an unlimited number of cultural and natural treats. How about 7,000 years of history, including three World Heritage Sites, temples that outdate both the Pyramids and Stonehenge and magnificent medieval walled towns complete with Baroque cathedrals, winding back streets and enough nooks and crannies to keep you entertained for weeks? When people say these islands are an open-air museum they aren’t lying. And then of course there is that famous coastline, which boasts some of the best diving sites in not only the Mediterranean but also the whole world. Think Caribbean style waters, lagoons and beachside caves just waiting to be explored. Check out the Blue Lagoon on the island of Comino to see what we mean – waters don’t get much clearer than this.

Splash and Fun Park

...plenty of activities...

Put all that tropical island stuff to one side and you still have plenty of activities to suit the land lovers out there. Tennis, golf, horse riding and even skydiving are just some of the activities on offer throughout the islands’ sophisticated holiday resorts. When it comes to choosing where to stay, you’ll find everything from five-star deluxe in Malta to self catered farmhouse chic on Gozo. And the nightlife? Pumping to say the very least. Malta’s premier party spot isn’t called Paceville for nothing.

Mdina

...the people to be some of the friendliest in Europe.

But the best thing about the Maltese Islands is their vibe. You won’t find anywhere quite so eclectic when it comes to styles and cultures. It’s Italian mixed with a bit of Arabic, and Spanish combined with a touch of British, but overall it’s simply Maltese. What’s more, you’ll find the people to be some of the friendliest in Europe and only too happy to welcome you to their beautiful islands. Whether you’re enjoying a coffee in the cafes of Valletta, Malta’s Baroque capital, wandering the ancient citadel of Victoria on Gozo, exploring the medieval delights of Malta’s former capital Mdina, or simply sitting back on a deserted Comino beach soaking up the sun, one thing’s for sure, you’ll be glad you chose the Maltese Islands as your holiday destination 

Tips

. . .
1/3

For picture perfect beaches, head down to the sandy crescents of Golden Bay and GhanTuffieha Bay on Malta, or check out Xlendi Bay on Gozo or the Blue Lagoon on Comino – one not to be missed.

2/3

If you are visiting the capital Valletta avoid the popular attractions during the morning and just after lunch, or you’ll find you’re enjoying the sights with coach loads of tourists.

3/3

Experience one of the islands’ many festas (village festivals) for a real experience of island life. There are about 80 held throughout the year and they include processions, firework displays, street parties and general merrymaking.
