1. Visit Your Favorite Summer Spots
Whether it’s Shack, Cafe Del Mar, or Tony’s Ice Cream Van, everyone has their go-to summer hangouts. These familiar places evoke warmth and joy, allowing you to relive cherished memories while creating new summer moments.
2. A Day at the Beach
No perfect Maltese summer is complete without a full day at the beach! Relax on your favorite sandy shore, soak up the sun, and take refreshing dips in the crystal-clear Mediterranean. And if you can enjoy a traditional Maltese hobz biz-zejt (bread with oil), that’s even better! Just be careful not to let any sand sneak into your lunch.
3. After-Work Quick Escapes
In addition to all-day beach outings, we excel at “quick escapes.” Imagine this: after a long day at work, you drive along the coastline, feeling the heat. Suddenly, you decide to pull over and jump into the sea for a refreshing cool-off. This spontaneous experience is one of the great joys of summer in Malta.
4. Barbecue Gatherings
Beach, friends, and delicious food—this is the perfect combination for a Maltese summer. Gather with family and friends for a barbecue, enjoying good food and great company. Remember to clean up after your feast, leaving no trace behind to protect our beautiful environment.
5. Water Sports
Malta offers a wide range of water sports, whether it’s surfing, kayaking, snorkeling, or jet skiing—there’s something for everyone. Experience the thrill of speed on the water, take in the stunning coastal views, and enjoy endless summer fun.
6. Savor Local Summer Fruits
Summer is the harvest season for local fruits in Malta. Imagine biting into a juicy watermelon on the beach—what a refreshing delight! Sweet peaches, nectarines, and strawberries are perfect for snacking or making cool drinks and desserts. And don’t forget fresh tomatoes, the soul of the Maltese hobz biz-zejt.
7. Hike to Hidden Beaches
Malta is home to many beautiful beaches, but the most pristine and stunning often require a bit of a trek to reach. Put on your hiking shoes, prepare for some climbing, and pack your essentials. When you finally arrive at these hidden gems, the sense of satisfaction and joy will be immense.
