Malta & Gozo Holidays
Megaliths, medieval dungeons and Calypso’s Cave - Malta is positively mythic. The neighbouring island of Gozo has a distinct character all of its own; here, the colourful countryside is prettier, the pace is slower and there are fewer tourists.
There’s something intriguing about Malta. This curious island is a place where old cobblestoned towns whisper storied tales of mythical legends, and winding backstreets lead you to Renaissance cathedrals, Baroque palaces and beguiling Norman architecture. Malta is fuelled by history and culture, while its honeyed sands and craggy coastlines are never too far away. Discover remote coves tucked into the hillside, shallow shores where little ones can paddle, and natural swimming pools where the water flashes in every shade of blue. What’s more, Malta sees over 300 days of sunshine a year, and its local people are some of the friendliest you’ll ever meet.
Hop on the ferry to Gozo and you’ll notice the change in tempo the second you step onto the island. Gozo is quieter and less crowded than its big sister Malta. This untamed isle will charm you with its wild beauty, sleepy bays and peaceful countryside. Recharge on beaches backed by cliffs and caves, go reef and wreck diving in glassy seas, walk among the walls of an ancient Citadel, and taste traditional Gozitan wood-fired ftira (pizza) in rustic village bakeries.
We are full of ideas and inspiration, so talk to us today for a Malta & Gozo holiday that’ll be personally crafted just for you.

Where is Malta?
One of Europe’s smallest countries, Malta is a culture-rich archipelago in the heart of the Mediterranean Sea, south of Sicily. There are three islands that belong to the archipelago, including Malta, Gozo and Comino, and capital city Valletta is on the main island of Malta.
Mdina
Malta’s ancient capital, Mdina is a typical medieval town located in the centre of the island. Boasting some of the best Norman and Baroque architecture on the island this is a serene town with endless squares and narrow alleyways to explore. Largely off limits to cars, and known as the ‘Silent City’, Mdina is reminiscent of a bygone era.
Valletta
To the northeast, the walled capital of Valletta delivers resplendent Upper Barraka Gardens, wall-to-wall frescoes in the magnum opus of St John’s Co-Cathedral and fascinating underground catacombs. North of Valletta, lively St Julian’s delights with impressive spa hotels, a dynamic promenade and rocky beaches, perfect for sun soaking.
St Julian's
St Julian’s is a traditional seafront resort town, lined with a variety of yachts, fishing boats and charming Maltese luzzus. A quaint backdrop of sun-drenched town houses line the harbourfront, whilst a string of cafés and bars welcome passers-by with the aromas of local cuisine.
Sliema
To the east of St Julian’s lies the sophisticated resort of Sliema, One of Malta’s more popular resorts. Enjoying an idyllic three-mile-long seafront and rocky platforms, Sliema is a swimmer’s heaven. Why not end a sublime day of sunshine and relaxation with fine cuisine at a Maltese, Mexican or Italian restaurant, followed by a romantic horse and cart ride.
Mellieha Bay
Mellieha Bay boasts the longest sandy beach in Malta - Gadira Beach. Perfectly complemented by its shallow waters, and the perfect amount of beach bars and restaurants to accompany, Mellieha Bay is a fantastic resort for families and groups alike. Get your adrenaline pumping with parasailing, enjoy a leisurely paddle with pedalos, or head to stunning Golden Bay where the 2004 movie Troy was filmed.
Gozo
Gozo is known to provide a tranquil haven for a tempo and scene change. The charm of Malta’s sister island is immediately apparent; it’s greener, more rural and smaller, with life’s rhythms dictated by the seasons, fishing and agriculture. Steeped in myth, Gozo is thought to be the legendary Calypso’s isle of Homer’s Odyssey – a peaceful, mystical backwater. Baroque churches and old stone farmhouses dot the countryside.
