What to Do in Malta: Explore St Paul's Bay and more
This tiny island located off the coast of Sicily is made up of seven small islands, offering plenty to keep you occupied. Adventure seekers and nature lovers can hike along the cliffs of Gozo, where panoramic views of the Mediterranean make for an unforgettable workout. Water enthusiasts will love kayaking along the island’s rugged coastlines or taking a trip to the crystal-clear Blue Lagoon in Comino for swimming and snorkelling.

Whether you’re planning Malta beach holidays in the summer months, Malta October holidays, or even a festive Malta Christmas holiday, the island’s year-round charm offers something for everyone.
Discover Valletta, a UNESCO World Heritage Site
For those considering Malta Valletta holidays, Malta's capital city is an unmissable highlight. Founded by the Knights of St. John in 1566, Malta's capital, Valletta, was built as a fortress city to protect the island from invasion, including the Great Siege of Malta in 1565 and strategic attacks during World War II. Today, its cobbled streets, adorned with ornate, multicoloured wooden balconies, provide an elegant backdrop to a journey through time. Some rooms at the charming Rosselli AX Privilege feature these iconic Maltese balconies, offering a glimpse into the city’s architectural heritage which is bursting with rich history.
The city is a treasure trove of historical landmarks, from the opulent St. John’s Co-Cathedral to the serene Upper Barrakka Gardens, where visitors can witness the dramatic firing of the cannons at the Saluting Battery. For a touch of tranquillity, the Mysterium Fidei Monastery & Secret Garden provides a rare glimpse into Malta’s monastic heritage, with nuns still residing within its sacred walls.
Valletta is also a fantastic base for exploring the rest of the island, whether by ferry to the Three Cities – Vittoriosa, Senglea, and Cospicua – or by embarking on a gondola ride for a more intimate view of the historic harbours while soaking up the Mediterranean sun. Additionally, Valletta serves as Malta’s primary cruise port, welcoming luxury liners such as Explora Journeys, making it an accessible and vibrant gateway to the island.
