Malta’s picturesque harbours, sunny weather and historical villages have made it a popular choice for those seeking a beach holiday with a twist, especially as there are so many historical sites and tourist attractions that can be viewed and enjoyed outside.
Year-Round Sun
Just three hours from the UK, Malta is a year-round destination that boasts over 300 days of sunshine. Summer temperatures soar to the high 20s, while mild winters mean you can escape the crowds and discover all that Malta has to offer.
Malta’s beautiful summer weather is perfect for a holiday, particularly when you enjoy the beach life. The islands offer a range of beaches, from fully developed resorts with all the necessary facilities to secluded spots off the beaten track where you can sunbathe in solitude. During the cooler spring and autumn months, hiking and biking along trails through the countryside are great ways to discover Malta’s beautiful countryside and natural scenery.
Malta holidays are good value for money and there’s a variety of packages and accommodation options for all budgets. Although it’s also popular for hen and stag dos, as well as mini-moons and honeymoons, Malta is the ideal destination for young adults, families with older children, city breakers and the LGBTQ community.
LGBTQ Friendly
Malta has topped the charts on the ILGA-Europe Rainbow Index for five consecutive years (2016, 2017, 2018, 2019 and 2020) thanks to the country’s friendly and welcoming attitude towards the LGBTQ community. All accommodation in Malta is gay-friendly and some are gay-owned.
Malta Pride is ever growing and celebrated annually. There’s also a year-round calendar of LGBTQ specific events and numerous gay clubs spread across the islands.
All couples can enjoy the stunning array of wedding and honeymoon backdrops including bays and beaches, Baroque structures and historical venues, as same-sex marriage is legal across the Maltese Islands.
