Beaches in Malta & Gozo

Malta and Gozo are perfect holiday destinations if you enjoy swimming in crystal clear waters and relaxing on sandy beaches. The sheer availability of beaches here means there's something for everyone, and you're bound to discover some quiet gems as well as the more touristy spots.

Golden Bay Beach

Golden Bay beach in Mellieha is perhaps Malta's best and most family-friendly beach, thanks to its shallow waters and soft sand. You'll also find sun loungers with umbrellas available for hire and plenty of stalls serving ice-cold drinks and treats.

Blue Lagoon

One of Malta's most visited sites is the Blue Lagoon, between Cominotto and Comino. With its stunning turquoise waters and white sands, you'll immediately fall in love with the area. Just remember to take a great camera to capture every moment.

Rambla I-Hamra

Gozo is better known for its rocky shores, making diving and snorkelling a popular pastime, although it's worth visiting the memorable Rambla I-Hamra beach close to Xaghra - this stretch featured red-coloured sand.

San Blas

This beach is for the quieter people willing to put some work in for their slice of heaven. With its beautiful coves and surrounding trees, San Blas is one of the most beautiful places in Malta - but it does require a steep walk.

However, if you'd love to dip in the sea without battling through crowds, San Blas is well worth the walk.

Nightlife in Malta & Gozo

Discover open-air concerts, live theatre, village carnivals and local fiestas throughout the year when you pick one of our villas in Malta as your base. Gozo is more low-key than Malta and is the ideal island if you're seeking a serene setting for your villa holiday.

St Julian's

If you're looking for nightclubs in Malta, St Julian's is probably the best place. It's home to lively venues like the Havana Club, Sky Club, and other bars in Paceville town. Young people and tourists flock to the area for fun, drinks and dancing.

Gozo Bars

Gozo might not have lively nightclubs, but plenty of bars have a welcoming atmosphere. Gleneagles is a great place to connect with the locals, and it has an authentic vibe, while Piutrentanove is the go-to place for a cocktail.

Food and Drink in Malta & Gozo

Sicily's influence on Malta and Gozo is evident in the local cuisine. Tomato-based pasta and fish dishes are a popular option, as well as sumptuous fine wines. In Gozo, try the traditional snack known as 'Pastizzi' - a pastry filled with ricotta cheese or peas.

Plenty of excellent restaurants are around, including smaller places that offer warm hospitality and food that will awaken your taste buds.

Rubino

Remember to check out the infamous Rubino restaurant if you're heading to Valletta. You'll find some classic Maltese dishes here, and friendly locals flock to the restaurant. What makes it unique, though, is the range of delicious desserts and expertly-made pastries.

Wigi's Kitchen

St Julian also has some excellent restaurants, within walking distance of the many clubs and pubs. With its relaxed atmosphere and simple dishes, this Mediterranean gem won't let you down.

Ta' Philip

As one of Gozo's most popular restaurants, Ta' Philip focuses on traditional Mediterranean food and has a farm-to-table mantra. You'll enjoy delicious food here and might even run into celebrities.

History and Culture in Malta & Gozo

Although small in size, the islands of Malta and Gozo are brimming with history and are home to some of the most impressive architecture anywhere in the Mediterranean. With our villas to rent in Malta, you're never too far from golden-dome palaces, and Norman cathedrals tower above the quaint cobbled streets.

Discover Valletta

Malta's capital Valletta is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and is well worth a visit! It takes your breath away, as the unique buildings seem to be stuck in time and remind people of an ancient world.

The city might be small, but it has a huge personality and is simply stunning during summer. Take a trip to St. John's Co-Cathedral and marvel at the history, then head to the Lascaris War Rooms that demonstrate Malta's role in World War Two.

Plenty of art galleries, museums and tall buildings also exist for epic sea views.

Explore Gozo

Gozo has a beautiful history, and the small island holds nothing back regarding culture. You'll find a range of museums on the island, including the Cathedral Museum and Ecclesia Mater, which showcase stunning art displays.

For something quirkier, we recommend the Folklore Museum. Whatever you do, don't forget to check out Xagħra's Ggantija Temples, which date back to the Neolithic Age and are UNESCO'S second oldest site worldwide. We also recommend a trip to Ta Pinu Basilica.
