Holiday Information
Picturesque
fishing villages, a wonderful year
round climate, diverse culture and
fascinating traditions; this is what
a holiday to Malta has in store for
you.
Located
in the Mediterranean Sea just south
of Sicily and north of Africa, Malta
embraces its rich and diverse
culture. Just thirty five kilometres
from one side to the other, Malta is
easy to explore, although car hire
is recommended especially to access
some of the hidden beaches. The
beach resorts offer a superb and
popular choice of activities,
including scuba diving, water skiing
and sailing.
Valetta
is the capital city of Malta and
offers an excellent choice of
museums, galleries and monuments
within its 16th century walls. The
busy resort of Bugibba
in Malta offers a superb selection
of cheap hotel and self-catering
accommodation, plus countless
shopping opportunities and many bars
and restaurants. In comparison, St
Paul’s Bay offers a quieter
existence with a good selection of
water sports.
Malta
will suit families, couples and
groups who wish to stay in self
catering apartments or studios, bed
and breakfast residences or half
board hotels; with equal choice for
the low cost and deluxe holiday
budget.

stretches of flat white rocks may be
found around the major resorts to
the west. Scuba diving is very
popular on Malta’s west side.
Mellieha overlooks one Malta’s
largest sandy beaches, whilst framed
by rocky cliffs in a secluded
location across the island, is
Golden Bay.
