Our selected hotels are all to be found in the resorts of Sliema, St Julian's, St George's Bay and Bugibba/Qawra, on the island's eastern coast. Each has its own attractions, drawing locals and visitors alike.
Sliema
With its broad promenade fronting the busy harbour, Sliema has long been a favourite of our guests. Sit and watch the colourful craft come and go, or board a pleasure cruiser for a tour. Sliema's shops, stores and cafes bustle with life - perfect for an afternoon's souvenir-hunting followed by tea.
St George's Bay and St Julian's
St George's Bay and neighbouring St Julian's offer a lively but pleasant nighlife, with the resort's restaurants and bars, the famous Dragonara Casino and Bay Street Shopping Mall all open 'til late.
Bugibba and Qawra
These adjoining towns, clinging to the coastline, are every inch modern holiday resorts. Wander their pretty squares, seafront promenades and beaches, and enjoy the good selection of shops, bars and restaurants.
Xlendi
Xlendi - pronounced Schlendi - boasts a fine sea-front promenade and a small selection of shops, bars and restaurants. Though bustling with life during the day, in the evenings it becomes a haven of quiet and calm beside the Mediterranean blue.
During your stay, you can choose to join a selection of great-value excursions to many places of interest.
Day One
Outward travel from your selected airport to Malta, and onward transfer to your hotel.
Day Two
Board the ferry and cross to Gozo, for your three-night stay on this tranquil island.
Day Three
On today's optional full-day excursion we'll head to the quaint port of Mgarr, gateway to Gozo. Visit Victoria - the island's fortified capital - picturesque Marsalforn, famous Calypso's Cave overlooking sandy Ramla Bay and the fascinating 'Inland Sea' at Dwerja. We'll also stop at Qala for a panoramic view of the Gozo Channel and the Blue Lagoon on the neighbouring 'desert-island' of Comino.
Day Four
Spend a final day enjoying the relaxed charm of Gozo.
Day Five
Today we return to Malta to spend the final few days of your holiday enjoying your chosen hotel and surroundings.
Day Six
Join our local guide for our optional half-day exploration of Valletta, the island's fascinating capital. See the Lascaris War Rooms, the WW2 Command Centre from which Malta's defence was directed, and the Auberge de Castille, magnificent former home to the Knights of St John and now the Prime Minister's office, and the Upper Barracca Gardens.
Day Seven
On this full-day optional tour, you'll travel inland to Mdina, the ancient, fortified former capital with its spectacular rampart views and its narrow stone-built streets in the beautiful 'silent city'. The tour also includes the Grotto at Rabat, where Bellini's 'St Paul' depicts the apostle's shipwreck on the island, and the famous domed church at Mosta, which survived a direct hit during the WW2 bombardment of the island.
Day Eight
Transfer back to the airport for check-in and your flight home.
April 27 departures
Passengers travelling from Kent International airport on April 27 will return to London Gatwick on May 4, and will then be transferred back to Kent International by coach.
Wining and dining
As a modern, thoroughly European, country Malta can cater to all tastes, offering typically Mediterranean meals of fish, pasta and chicken and the usual fare. The local beer is popular (though the local wine is more of an 'acquired taste'), and if you choose not to talk the half-board options in the hotels, there are countless places in which to eat locally.
