Malta

In Malta, you'll explore 7000 years of history yet live passionately in the present. You'll span the millennia with an astonishing array of things to discover. And wherever you go, the Islands' scenery and architecture provide a spectacular backdrop. The colours are striking. Honey-coloured stone against the deepest of Mediterranean blues.

The Maltese Islands have been described as one big open-air museum. What makes them unique is that so much of their past is visible today. Delve into the Islands' mysterious prehistory, retrace the footsteps of St Paul or see where the Knights of St John defended Christendom.

But Malta is no regular museum. Here life is lived to the full, so make time for some living history and action. Visit locations where Oscar-winning blockbusters were filmed or go off the beaten track into ancient villages. Marvel at the fireworks and revelry of the summertime festas and enjoy a packed calendar of events all year round.

Malta is holidaying as the mood takes you. And with near year-round sun, you can indulge in outdoor living at its best.

In just 48 hours and a kilometer or two, you can try a new sport, laze on an island cruise and tour the most important historic sites. And still have time to join in the nightlife. That’s the real advantage of a stay here.

The Islands offer plenty of specialist holidays for those seeking to learn a new skill, discover history or get fit. If you’re interested in sports, we cater as much for the seasoned enthusiast as the casual first-timer. Malta has fitness and spa facilities at the luxury hotels and club resorts. Sea and land lend themselves to activities from rock-climbing to gentle rambling.

Bilingual, with strong historic and cultural links to Britain, Malta is an enjoyable place to learn or practise English. There are courses for everyone from youngsters to professionals.

Visit during special times like summer festa season, Easter and carnival and you’ll never be stuck for what to do – simply join the crowd for some fun.

The Maltese Islands have accommodation to suit all tastes and seasons. Whether you're seeking a suitable venue for a family holiday, a quiet hideaway, or a hotel that can provide everything you need for a large-scale conference, the Islands can accommodate you. We've deluxe options with health and spa centres as well as club hotels with a range of sports and activities. Apartments, aparthotels and farmhouses give you added flexibility, while hotels provide all manner of extras from a wide range of dining options to excursions and casinos.

In summer months you may prefer a seafront location with lido and water sports; in winter, you may wish to choose exactly the same. The superb climate and near year-round sun mean that seafront locations are just as much an option any season.
