Discover Malta for your next event
MALTA …. MORE TO EXPLORE
From its North African and Arabic influences to the Sicilian-inspired cuisine, Malta is a microcosm of the Mediterranean. Few European countries have such concentrated history, architecture and, yes, beaches in so tiny an area.
Thanks to its geographical, economic and political strength, Malta offers a lot of advantages that might be attractive, to you, who are looking for a destination for the next event.
There’s been an eclectic mix of influences and a roll-call of rulers over the centuries, but be in no doubt: Malta is not just a notional outpost of Italy or a relic of colonial Britain. This island nation (all 316 sq km of it, comprising the islands of Malta, Gozo and Comino) has a quirky character all of its own. From prehistoric temples, to the baroque architecture of Valletta, feasts of rabbit to festas of noisy fireworks, rattling buses to colourful fishing boats, this nation has loads of unique charm.
EXPERIENCE OUR IDENTITY
THE WEATHER
Malta is known for having 300 days of sunshine. We are the warmest country in Europe with an average annual temperature of 23 degrees Celsius during the day and 16 degrees Celsius during the night. The average sea temperature is of 20 degrees Celsius and summer weather can last up to 7 months.
CULTURAL HISTORY
Malta has been inhabited by the Phoenicians and Carthaginians, Romans, Greeks, Arabs, Normans, Aragonese, Knights of St.John, French and the British. All these foreign influences left a mark in the Maltese cultural history.
LOCATION
Malta historically has been a strategic outpost as it sits comfortably in the centre of the Mediterranean and offers quick flight connections to Europe (1-3hours), the Middle East and North Africa (1hour).
GASTRONOMY
Food is very important for the Maltese. Maltese are very passionate about their food. They are very inspired by local produce and traditional recipes passed through generations; recipes which are influenced by neighbouring countries and its history, yet unique.
DIVERSITY
The island is 27 kilometres long and 14.5 kilometres wide, with a total area of 246 square kilometres; meaning that going from the furthest point from North West to South West will take you only 50 minutes by car.
NIGHTLIFE AND ENTERTAINMENT
In Malta you will find a number of clubs and pubs in various locations. We also have seasonal open-air clubs and yearly events such as the Isla of MTV, Malta Jazz Festival and much more.
THE ISLAND OF GOZO
Gozo is the second largest island in the archipelago and it is a lesser-known destination in Malta. You can get there by ferry, speedboats, gullets, sailing boats or by catamaran. It is a rural island and much quieter than Malta, which provides you with a more relaxed experience.
SUSTAINABILITY
Our DMC’s want to increase awareness about sustainability by being a pioneers in reducing the negative socio-economic and environmental impact that business activities have on our society and habitat.
