A beautiful Mediterranean archipelago, steeped in history and blessed with year-round sunshine.

The glorious narrow lanes of Malta’s honey-hued Capital, Valletta, are brimming with an abundance of small boutiques and shops adorned with charming souvenirs. Afternoons are perfectly spent gently ambling between the many excellent cafes and eateries nestled amongst the gilded churches.

This perfectly represents one of the two activities best enjoyed in Malta: walking and swimming. And if swimming is what you’re after then look no further than the azure blue of the glittering Mediterranean. Crystal clear waters mean Malta is an outstanding spot for snorkelling and diving. Head over to the south east for less populated beaches, and while you’re there, a trip to see the outstanding caves of the Blue Grotto is a must.

With ancient temples and three UNESCO world heritage sites to explore – the wonderful islands of Malta are a fabulous choice for a luxury getaway.
