Is Malta right for you?

Malta combines historic towns and a dramatic coastline within a compact island. It has fewer long sandy beaches than some Mediterranean destinations, so travellers should compare swimming access and location rather than assume every coastal hotel has a beach.

When to go

Summer is hot and busy, while spring and autumn are popular for sightseeing. Malta retains more year-round life than many seasonal islands, although weather and opening patterns still vary.
