April 29, 2022Let us tell you everything there is to know about Malta, Gozo and Comino: offering relaxation, beautiful beaches, delicious cuisine, history and adventure – it makes for a wonderful destination, ticking all of the boxes!
If you are yet to discover the English-speaking Maltese Islands, it’s time to book a trip and visit the small archipelago situated in the heart of the sparkling Mediterranean Sea. Just a short three-hour flight away from the UK, the Maltese Islands are perfect for a relaxing holiday or an adventure-filled break year-round. Stroll through the meandering streets of the towns and villages whilst basking in over 300 days of sunshine a year. Malta’s sister islands are easily reached by a short ferry ride from Malta and offer more sandy beaches, crystal clear waters and adventure activities.
Relax and reset
The Maltese Islands provide a spectacular backdrop to relax and experience wellbeing activities including yoga, soft adventure and luxurious spa facilities. Retreats can be organised on the island, which encourages you to reconnect with yourself in nature and de-stress whilst experiencing the beauty of the small archipelago in the heart of the Mediterranean.
Beaches
The dramatic coastline of the Islands is picturesque with both sandy and rocky beaches. The Mediterranean archipelago is home to 11 Blue Flag beaches including Ramla Bay: the biggest red-sand beach on the island of Gozo; Għajn Tuffieħa: boasting rugged coastline with a natural and untouched atmosphere; and Golden Bay: perfect for soaking up the year-round sunshine.
Gastronomy galore
The flavour of Maltese cuisine is the result of a 7,000- year relationship with the many civilisations who have occupied the Maltese Islands. A tantalising melting-pot of cultures including the Sicilians, Romans, Spanish and French have influenced the unique blend of Maltese cooking. Five local restaurants have been awarded the Michelin Star and call to be experienced.
Sunny city breaks
Malta and Gozo are perfect for a cultural city break year-round. They are home to a number of fascinating cities: Valletta, Mdina, The Three Cities and Victoria. The towns are positively fairytale-like, with winding honeycoloured streets leading to palaces, cathedrals and other breath-taking historic monuments.
History haven
Explore 7,000 years of history yet live passionately in the present. Malta’s scenery and architecture provide a spectacular backdrop to explore megaliths and medieval dungeons; the Maltese Islands are positively mythic. Malta has rightly been described as an open-air museum, boasting over 320 historical monuments and three UNESCO World Heritage Sites: the Megalithic Temples, the Ħal Saflieni Hypogeum and the City of Valletta.
