Malta Weather

Malta has a typical Mediterranean climate with hot, dry summers and mild, humid winters - expect to enjoy sunshine even in the winter. Temperature averages from 15°C (Nov-Apr), rising to 33°C (May-Oct). The sea is relatively warm by May and stays pleasant for swimming until October/November. At the height of the summer, when Malta holidays are most popular, you can expect temperatures to reach 30° Celsius or more - perfect for getting a great tan!

Landscape

Most people come on Malta holidays for the magnificent beaches. Sun worshippers will be right at home on Golden Bay, Paradise Bay and St Pauls, just three of Malta's many beautiful beaches. So, if you're just looking to relax and top up your tan on holidays to Malta, or you prefer to indulge in more sporty adventures like scuba diving, water skiing, jet skiing or parascending, you'll have a vast array of beaches to choose from, ranging from red and golden sands and rocky inlets to blue lagoons!

Things To Do on Malta Holidays

No holiday in Malta would be complete without a visit to its capital, Valletta. Here, you'll find magnificent cathedrals, ancient fortifications, museums, historic churches and some of the finest restaurants on the island as well as plenty of shopping. It's also well worth a ferry or catamaran trip to visit its neighbouring islands of Gozo and Comino and you can even take in several Italian ports and visit the island of Sicily on a day trip.

Younger members of the family can go wild at 'Splash and Fun'. With its water slides and dinosaur park, this is a great day out if you're on a family holiday in Malta. And, for the experience of a lifetime, swim with the dolphins at the Mediterraneo Marine Park! As well as the dolphin show, you can also take in the fantastic sea lion and parrot shows, and there are many other species of animals in the park to observe.

Culture

Catholic festivals or saints' feast days are the most important dates on the Maltese calendar, where the celebrations are huge and you'll witness some amazing processions and fireworks displays. You'll also not want to return home from your Malta holidays before you've tasted fenkata, which is a Maltese celebratory dish consisting of rabbit which is marinated overnight in wine and bayleaf. For fish lovers, you must try lampuki in tomato and caper sauce and Maltese sausage and Gozo's famous goat's cheese are other delicacies to leave your mouth watering.
