Your trip can seamlessly include historical and cultural sites, gastronomy, wine tasting, wellness retreats, hiking, yachting, nightlife, and of course beach hopping.
Here are a few highlights of why Malta should be your next destination:
Malta, along with its sister islands, Gozo and Comino, boasts a remarkable 8,000 years of history, three UNESCO World Heritage Sites, diverse culinary offerings, and an endless calendar of events and festivals, offering something to suit all interests. Malta is a safe destination where English is widely spoken and is a member of the EU.
Valletta - UNESCO World Heritage Site, and
Maltese Capital
An open-air museum that engulfs travelers in rich history and religious attractions. Built by the Knights of St. John, the city that is bustling day and 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.
Gozo - Calypso’s Island
A trip to Malta isn’t complete without a visit to Malta’s two sister islands, Gozo and Comino. Access to Gozo is by ferry only, a car ferry or a speed ferry directly from Valletta. Gozo is the perfect change of pace for those looking for a more rural, relaxed, and quaint stay.
The island also comes complete with historical sites, forts, amazing panoramas, hidden beaches, as well as one of the archipelago’s best preserved prehistoric temples, Ġgantija, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Comino’s famous Blue Lagoon is a short boat ride away.
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 exclusive wines.
Malta continues to strengthen its presence on the gourmet cuisine map with the 2025 (sixth edition) MICHELIN Guide featuring Malta’s two Michelin Star restaurants added in 2024, in addition to the six One MICHELIN Star restaurants (1 new). However, not to be missed, are the local street foods including the famous Maltese pastizzi (cheese or pea filled pastries).

Set Jetting
In recent years, Malta has become one of Europe’s most popular film and television locations. Now celebrating 100 years of film, the Maltese Islands are home to countless blockbusters like Gladiator I and II, The Count of Monte Cristo, Jurassic World Dominion, Napoleon and Popeye.
Most famously, the city of Mdina was home to the filming of HBO’s Game of Thrones first season, as the fictional city of King’s Landing. The archipelago offers ancient walled cities and scenic landscapes that make it a timeless destination for filmmakers and film lovers alike. This enchanting archipelago has something for everyone!
