In the heart of the Mediterranean, midway between Europe and Africa, Malta is steeped in history, rich in culture, has stunning landscapes and an average of 300 days sunshine every year! The island has good local transport links, which, together with our great choice of optional excursions, make it easy to explore. Bursting with incredible churches, palaces and beautiful baroque buildings, Valletta - the island’s tiny, walled capital, is nothing short of an open-air museum. Its extraordinary Grand Harbour is often described as the most beautiful in the Mediterranean. Not to be missed are the ‘Silent City’ of Mdina and the fascinating Mosta Dome, just one of the island’s 365 churches. We’ll be staying in the fantastic db Seabank Hotel & Spa, which is close to the picturesque hilltop town of Mellieha in the north of the island. Hugely-popular with Arena guests, it is the perfect base to relax, soak up some sunshine and explore with our included excursions to Valletta, Gozo and the Blue Grotto.
Independent travel to London for your flight to Malta. On arrival, we will transfer by coach to Mellieha Bay where we will check in to the db Seabank hotel.
Once you have settled into your hotel, you will be invited to join your tour manager who will discuss the days ahead and confirm details of your included excursions. Although your time in Malta will be at your leisure, your tour manager will always on hand to answer any questions, assist with travel plans or simply as a friendly face at dinnertime.
After checking out of the hotel you will transfer to the airport and return flight to London.
