Going on a trip?

Malta, a small island nation bordered by the Mediterranean Sea, boasts a surprisingly rich and vibrant history beyond its modest size. For the entire period of its existence, whoever did not set foot on this land – from the Greeks with the Romans to the Byzantines and even the Arabs – until the island was finally taken over by the Order of Malta. And from each nation, the knightly stronghold took something of its own, a piece of culture and customs, which over time developed into a bright panel of modern Malta. Malta’s hotels are no less varied than the historical past of the island. Here you can find both luxurious five-star establishments and simpler hotels with an almost homely atmosphere.

Hotels in Malta: which option and where to choose
You might be surprised, but there are surprisingly many hotels in Malta, and the range of accommodation options is very wide. Malta hotels offer a variety of facilities, from high-quality five-star service to very modest two-star services, and you can also rent a room in a B&B or rent an apartment, villa or vacation home. Budget tourists will surely appreciate the local hostels, and lovers of non-trivial rest – the opportunity to replace their usual hotel room with a cabin on board a yacht or boat.

When deciding where to stay, keep in mind that hotels in Malta vary greatly in terms of service levels, and, say, between five and three stars, the difference is quite significant. No, this does not mean that collapsed plaster and leaking taps are waiting for you in a two-star hotel, it is just that such options as, say, a private beach at the hotel or a swimming pool with a restaurant are better to look for in higher-class hotels.

To make it easier to decide where to choose your home, focus on your goals. So, for an excursion vacation, it is better to book a hotel in Malta in its capital Valletta or in Mdina, but it is better to combine business with pleasure (read, excursions with beach relaxation) in Sliema, St. Julian’s or Mellieha. By the way, there are many beaches for every taste. There are sandy, pebbly or rocky ones, but all are very cozy and are often located in secluded bays. Of course, not without typical tourist beach locations: the most densely populated coastal strip is in the resorts of Sliema, St. Julian’s, and Mellieha, as well as Bugibba and Aura St. Paul’s Bay. If you want fewer people and more nature, the beaches of the islands of Gozo and Comino are perfect for you.
