Hotels in Malta

You’ll have many comfortable hotels to choose from throughout the Maltese Islands. Some offer essential conveniences such as complimentary Wi-Fi and on-site dining where you can sample local dishes, while digital check-in is available at selected properties. In the northern and coastal areas of the main island, you’ll find luxury resorts, some with lavish outdoor swimming pools, dedicated wellness areas and spa treatments, and private beach access at selected properties. Whether you want a comfortable room, or a more refined experience, you can explore the island's ancient temples and stunning coastal scenery your way.

During your stay, a trip to the UNESCO-listed city of Valletta is essential for seeing grand baroque architecture and historic harbours. Other top things to do in Malta include wandering through the silent, medieval streets of Mdina or exploring the prehistoric Ħaġar Qim temples. For those who love the water, diving among historic shipwrecks or visiting the dramatic Blue Grotto sea caves offers a unique perspective of the shoreline. These diverse sites provide a fascinating glimpse into the area's deep history and vibrant island culture during your stay.

Golden Bay is a popular choice due to its wide sandy shores and stunning sunset views over the water. For a more tranquil experience, you might prefer Għajn Tuffieħa, a rugged cove reached by a long flight of stairs that offers a beautiful natural setting. For those who enjoy snorkelling, St Peter’s Pool is known for clear water and a rocky swimming area; check sea conditions and follow local safety guidance before entering the water. If you are looking for family-friendly Malta beaches, Mellieħa Bay features shallow, calm waters for younger swimmers.

Malta’s traditional food embodies rich flavours that reflect a mix of Mediterranean influences. Sampling pastizzi (flaky savoury pastries filled with ricotta or mushy peas) is essential for an authentic taste of local life. You should also look out for local favourites like Fenkata (a slow-cooked rabbit stew) or Lampuki pie (a seasonal dish made with local mahi-mahi fish). Many eateries also serve Kapunata (a Maltese version of ratatouille) alongside freshly baked sourdough bread known as ħobż tal-Malti. All of these dishes provide insight into the island's unique culinary heritage.

St. Julian’s is an excellent choice if you enjoy a lively atmosphere filled with coastal dining and vibrant nightlife. For those who prefer scenic waterfront walks and convenient shopping, Sliema offers a long promenade with stunning views across the water to the capital. Alternatively, Valletta provides a historic setting where you can stay in grand townhouses tucked away among baroque landmarks. If you are looking for a more relaxed pace near the water, the northern areas like Mellieħa are ideal for beach lovers. Each district offers a unique character and easy access to the island's many cultural sites.
