Bask under the sun at the island’s sandy beaches; choose from golden sand, red sand, blue lagoons, and even inland seas. Dabble in water sports (such as windsurfing, parasailing, jetskiing, parakiting, and snorkelling), discover the beauty of Islands of Gozo and Isle of Camino, or watch the sunset with your honey by the beach.
If you’re in for a trip to the past, visit the Ghar Dalam Cave and Museum, and see the sediments in the cave, which are rich in remains of prehistoric animal species. Mnajdra and Hagar Qim Temples are also must-sees, with its fossils of extinct animal species and gunposts of World War II. For a fabulous eating experience, try Rubino’s, which is famous for its Maltese stews and cassata. If it’s fish you want, head over to Barracuda, which overlooks Balluta Bay. Want some comfort food? Soothe your tummy with Ambrosia’s Mediterranean cuisine. And for an ultimate dining experience, try TaFrenc Restaurant, which is set in an old farmhouse. To pump up your holiday, indulge in a night of partying at the Blackbull Pub, hailed as the best karaoke in town, which features a fireside lounge and Brittania banquet room. Also try other discos and clubs such as 7 Rooms bar, Empire Bar, Footloose Fun bar, and Peppermint Bar.

The capital city Valletta is a cosmopolitan and bustling place. As well as the usual fine dining and shopping that you would expect, it also plays host to many cultural attractions such as theatre, concerts and exhibitions. There are plenty of museums to while away your time in – we recommend that you pay a visit to the War Museum at Fort St Elmo where every Sunday there is a re-enactment in full military costume, and to the Megalithic Temples – including Ggantija; the oldest freestanding temple in the world.
If you are looking for something a little more frivolous, then you could do a lot worse than visit the town of Gozo for the Nadur carnival and the parade in Valletta. There are many ways in which visitors young and old can get involved in the colourful processions and party atmosphere.
Being an island Malta also has a wide variety of watersports to take part in. You can go scuba diving, snorkelling, jet skiing or parascending, or just spend the day on one of the beautiful beaches with a book – partaking in a quick paddle if you get too hot.
