Explore sun-kissed beaches together

Malta and its sister islands, Gozo and Comino, are fringed with some of the most beautiful coastlines in the Mediterranean. Whether you prefer bustling shores with everything you need right at your fingertips or a quiet cove to call your own, there is a beach here for you. The variety is remarkable, with options ranging from vast sandy expanses to secluded rocky inlets perfect for snorkelling in the clear, azure waters.

One of the island's most beloved spots is Mellieħa Bay, the largest sandy beach in Malta. Its long stretch of golden sand and shallow, calm waters make it an ideal choice for families and anyone looking to simply unwind by the sea. For those seeking something a little more dramatic, Golden Bay offers stunning sunsets, while the nearby Għajn Tuffieħa provides a more rustic and unspoilt atmosphere. For a truly unforgettable swim, a boat trip to the famous Blue Lagoon in Comino is essential. Its luminous turquoise waters are simply breathtaking and provide an unparalleled swimming and photography spot.

Family activities for all ages

Malta is a destination that welcomes families with open arms, offering a wide array of activities to keep travellers of all ages entertained. Beyond the wonderful beaches, the island is packed with attractions that blend fun with a touch of education. You can spend a day at the Malta National Aquarium, where you can walk through a tunnel surrounded by sharks and rays, or visit Popeye Village, the original film set of the 1980 musical, now a colourful theme park with shows and water games.

Explore the interactive exhibits at Esplora Interactive Science Centre, which offers hands-on activities for curious minds. The island's many lidos provide a safe and controlled environment for swimming, often with pools, slides, and easy access to the sea. With so many options, you can be confident that every member of the family will find something to love.

Visit the historic gem of Valletta

Step into a living museum when you visit Valletta, Malta's capital city. A UNESCO World Heritage site, Valletta is an architectural masterpiece built by the Knights of St. John. Its grid of narrow streets is flanked by grand limestone buildings, historic churches, and charming squares. A walk along its fortified walls reveals spectacular views across the Grand Harbour, one of the most magnificent natural harbours in the world.

Explore St. John's Co-Cathedral, a breathtaking example of Baroque art and architecture, home to Caravaggio's masterpiece, "The Beheading of Saint John the Baptist." Wander through the Upper Barrakka Gardens for a moment of peace and a panoramic vista or simply lose yourself in the city’s enchanting alleyways, discovering quirky shops, quaint cafes, and hidden courtyards. In the evening, the city comes alive with a sophisticated energy, offering world-class dining and cultural events.
