Getting There

Direct flights from London Heathrow with British Airways and Air Malta in approximately 3 hours, 15 minutes. Direct flights from all other major UK airports with various airlines.

Valletta

A listed World Heritage Site, Valletta has been described by UNESCO as 'one of the most concentrated historic areas in the world'. Built by the Knights of Saint John in the 16th century, the small but perfectly formed city is built on a peninsula that measures only 1km by 600m, fronted by the Grand Harbour. Alongside the elegant 16th-century buildings, fortresses and the stunning Royal Opera House, more modern monuments include various museums, the Parliament Building and the Opera House, designed by world-renowned architect Renzo Piano.

Valletta
Beautiful Beaches

With more than 300 days of sunshine each year, it’s a good job Malta has some beautiful beaches. From golden sand to shingle, there is a beach to suit everyone here – with swimming, watersports and snorkelling available around the isle.

Beautiful Beaches
Blue Grotto

Located on the lesser-visited south of the island, the stunning Blue Grotto is a collection of striking sea caverns and caves that beautifully reflect the blue of the water. Adding to this, the cave walls mirror the brilliant phosphorescent orange, purple and green colours of the underwater flora, resulting in a mesmerizing scene of light and colour. Head here on a boat trip to witness the breathtaking coastal landforms, while the area also offers incredible snorkelling and diving.

Blue Grotto
Gozo

Smaller and slower in pace than the island of Malta, Gozo is another gem in the archipelago, characterised by baroque churches, rural farmhouses, green interiors, rugged coastal landscapes and more marvellous historical sights. Outdoor pursuits are countless here – ranging from mountain biking to kayaking – while the impressive food and wine scene focuses on the fresh produce of the locality.
