Malta holidays and short breaks

Malta holidays

With its central Mediterranean location Malta has almost year-round sunshine making it ideal for both summer and winter holidays. Short distance transfers (under 7 miles to Valletta) mean you don't waste valuable holiday time travelling from the airport to your hotel, a great plus on short breaks. Valletta, the capital city of Malta is a perfect location for a long weekend break, sleepy fishing villages like Marsaxlokk are full of character and golden beaches like Mellieha Bay and the aptly named Golden Bay are great for family package holidays. Malta does indeed have something for everyone!
