Malta Holidays

If you are yet to discover the beauty of the Maltese Islands, it’s time to book a trip and visit the archipelago situated in the heart of the sparkling Mediterranean Sea. Being a mere three-hour flight away from the UK, the Maltese Islands are perfect for a beach holiday or a city break.

There is only one way to describe the colours of Malta, Gozo and Comino – simply breathtaking. Stroll through the narrow winding streets of the vibrant towns and villages and gaze in awe at the honey-coloured architecture, complemented by the deepest of Mediterranean blues, all whilst basking in over 300 days of sunshine a year.

Explore 7,000 years of history, yet live passionately in the present. The Islands’ 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.

Be sure to explore fully with a short ferry ride from Malta to the islands of Gozo and Comino. Here you’ll find more sandy beaches, crystal clear waters and an abundance of adventure activities.

Boasting endless sunshine and an eclectic events calendar, you can see why the Maltese Islands are the perfect year-round destination for a luxury escape. Browse this page for more ideas on accommodation, activities and more to start planning your bucket list break to this incredible destination.

More about Malta

About Malta

Easy to dismiss as a sun, sea and sand destination, Malta has much more to offer discerning travellers. Ancient walled cities, ornate palaces, grand churches and luxury developments are just some of Malta’s seemingly closely guarded secrets. The luxe lifestyle is easily achieved here – and comes in a variety of guises for travellers with mixed, and exacting demands. Whether you want to browse chic boutiques or allow yourself time to relax and unwind in stellar surroundings, Malta has a resort for you. World-class diving locations and water sports facilities keep active visitors entertained, while spas and gourmet restaurants provide the ingredients for a pampering and restorative escape.

Glitz and glamour isn’t in short supply either. Luxury yachts bob gently in modern harbours and the casinos are housed in grand buildings more suited to works of art than high stakes poker tables. Modern and sophisticated, ancient and cultured – a Malta holiday is far beyond a beach stay in the sun, although Malta does that exceeding well too.
