Your guide to Malta
Mellieha
A peaceful village on the northern coast of Malta, Mellieħa is perched on a hilltop, surrounded by beautiful rolling valleys and the glittering ocean just ahead. You're close to Malta's largest sandy beach, Għadira, while the tranquil village atmosphere is perfect for those looking for a more serene stay. A chic five-star resort provides the perfect idyll with spectacular amenities and delicious Maltese cuisine on offer.
Gozo
Experience the natural beauty and historic charms of Malta's smaller sister island, Gozo, with a stay at the five-star, effortlessly chic Kempinski Hotel San Lawrenz Malta. A superb array of facilities is on hand for your enjoyment, from five swimming pools and an elegant spa to a collection of refined eateries. With the option of joining a full-day tour of Gozo and its Ġgantija Temples, you'll soon understand what it is that keeps visitors coming back time and time again.
Sliema
In heavenly Sliema, beach bliss is never hard to come by. For those who like a more active scene, head down to Fond Ghadir Beach, where an array of watersports is on hand including boat rides to gaze upon the fascinating coastal surrounds. If you prefer to stay on land, make the most of the bustling, elegant promenade which starts from the tip of Qui-Si-Sana and stretches all the way to St Julian's. You'll find a plethora of shops, restaurants and cafes alongside historic attractions, picture-worthy views and a charming old town begging to be discovered. For all the Game of Thrones fans out there, the beautiful fort on Manoel Island is a real highlight.
St Julian's
When it comes to the high life, St. Julian's has plenty of luxe living to indulge in, from sophisticated restaurants, to lively shopping malls and fascinating cultural sights close by. Gazing out over the blissful blues of the Mediterranean, your stylish five-star getaway provides world-class luxury and comfort, while being close to some of Malta's best highlights. You'll find the warm, golden sands of St. George's Bay almost on the doorstep of your hotel, while the island's prestigious Dragonara Casino and glitzy marina are just a leisurely stroll away.
St Paul's Bay
St Paul's Bay is Malta's utterly charming coastal haven, located just 16 kilometres north of the country's capital, Valletta. Enjoy a snooze on its beaches, soak up its laid-back atmosphere and seek out signs of its history as a small fisherman's village, and discover more of Malta on scenic optional excursions around the island's cultural highlights.
Valletta
The UNESCO-listed treasure trove of culture that is Valletta bursts with historic wonder: visit the Grand Master's Palace, Casa Rocca Piccola, Fort St Elmo, Upper Barrakka Gardens, and the National War Museum, before getting your fill of ancient history at the National Museum of Archaeology. Saint John's Co-Cathedral is a must-visit, too: it's a grand, gold-hued affair that stuns with its ornate ceilings, floors and arches.
Malta's peaceful inland
If you're looking for a somewhat more peaceful Maltese experience, far enough from the typical tourist trail, head away from its coastline and inland towards its ultra-scenic rolling hills and fertile valleys. There, amidst landscapes made of karstic rock and enriched by typical Mediterranean greenery, you'll find a chance to slow your pace right down - and perhaps nestle for a few tranquil nights amidst pampering wellness facilities.
