Malta
Top Reasons to Visit Malta
1. Malta and its sister islands Gozo and Comino, an archipelago in the Mediterranean, boast a year round sunny climate. In addition to Maltese, English is spoken and it is a safe destination, much less crowded than mainland Europe. From its remarkable 8,000 years of history, diverse culinary offerings, and an endless calendar of events and festivals – there is truly something to suit all interests in Malta. Malta is a member of the EU and the currency is the Euro.
2. Valletta, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and the European Capital of Culture 2018, travelers will find themselves engulfed in the rich history and religious attractions that make up this Maltese Capital. Built by the Knights of St. John, the city that is bustling by day and now by night, will transport you back in time with its historic architecture and old world atmosphere. Exploring the narrow streets will lead you to historical landmarks, quaint coffee shops and elaborate churches.
3. Luxury for Less
Malta and its sister island of Gozo, deliver the ultimate recipe for luxury, featuring a diverse range of luxury accommodations from five star properties, luxury boutique hotels, to historic palazzos and historic farmhouses. Stay in a restored 16th or 17th-century palazzo, delight in luxury accommodation built into fortifications of the ancient city of Valletta, Malta’s capital and a UNESCO World Heritage site, with views across the Grand Harbour, or seek out the character of the many beautiful boutique hotels dotted throughout the city, as well as throughout Malta and Gozo. All this luxury can be found for less in Malta compared to similar accommodations and exclusive tours in mainland Europe.
4. A Diverse Culinary Experience
Malta offers travelers a diverse culinary experience, from the traditional plate of eclectic Mediterranean food curated by a relationship between the Maltese and the countless civilizations that occupied the island, to the never-ending vineyards delivering the finest wine. Malta continues to strengthen its presence on the gourmet cuisine map with the 2025 (sixth edition) MICHELIN Guide Malta featuring Malta’s Two Michelin Star restaurant added in 2024, in addition to the Six One MICHELIN Star restaurants (1 new), five Bib Gourmand restaurants and 31 recommended restaurants (3 new). However, not to be missed, are the local street foods including the famous Maltese Pastizzi (cheese or pea filled pastries).
5. Year Long Events/Festivals Calendar
