Family holiday deals to Malta
A family holiday to Malta ticks all the boxes for a jam-packed, stress-free getaway. You’ve got enchanting historic sites, plenty of sandy beaches and resorts that offer loads of activities for kids and adults alike.
The sun shines in Malta for most of the year, with long hot and dry summers, and shoulder seasons with mild temperatures. What’s more, it takes just three hours to fly to this evocative Mediterranean archipelago.
Top family-friendly destinations in Malta
Mellieħa
For family holidays by the beach, Mellieħa in the north of Malta is a top choice. Mellieħa Bay’s shallow waters and white sands are perfect for chilled-out swimmers, watersports enthusiasts and sun-worshippers. For a change of pace, head to Popeye Village. Originally a film set for the 1980s live-action movie, it’s now a fun park.
Valletta
Malta’s charming capital, Valletta, may be tiny, but it’s still chock-a-block with kid-friendly activities and historic gems. For instance, the Malta Experience gives an intro to the island’s 7,000-year-old history, Fort St Elmo is a masterclass in old-school warfare and the Upper Barrakka Gardens serves up scenery, views and ice creams.
Gozo
Gozo, Malta’s laidback sister island, is great if you want a slow-paced break with the family. Hop on a boat to snorkel the Blue Lagoon, explore the ancient Ggantija Temples and bounce around hidden beaches on a jeep safari. Don’t miss a dolphin-spotting trip – they’re guaranteed kid-pleasers.
