Discover Malta with On the Beach – from cuisine and culture to year-round sunshine
The perfect Mediterranean holiday awaits
Tfoso
Booking your next Mediterranean escape has never been easier, thanks to On the Beach partnering with the Malta Tourism Authority to showcase everything that makes Malta a top holiday destination for 2026. With longer summers, incredible cuisine, fascinating history and the perfect blend of city and beach life, Malta offers something special for every kind of traveller – and now is the perfect time to book.
One of Malta’s biggest draws is its extended summer season. When other European destinations begin to cool, Malta continues to bask in warm sunshine well into autumn. The shoulder seasons – spring and late summer – are ideal for travellers looking to enjoy balmy weather without peak-season crowds.
For couples or groups of friends, this means the opportunity to travel outside school holidays and experience Malta at its most relaxed. Think golden sunsets, open-air dining and lively festivals without the mid-summer rush. The island’s warm climate makes it perfect for city breaks, romantic escapes or spontaneous getaways when you simply want to top up your tan.

Savour incredible cuisine and a beautiful coastline
Maltese cuisine is one of the Mediterranean’s best-kept secrets. A fusion of Italian, Arabic and British flavours, Malta’s food scene is diverse and delicious. From fresh seafood and handmade pasta to traditional pastizzi and locally produced wines, every meal is a cultural experience in itself.
Whether you’re dining in a harbour-front restaurant in Valletta or enjoying a beachside lunch with sea views, food plays a central role in the Maltese holiday experience. Booking through On the Beach makes it easy to choose accommodation close to top dining spots, so you’re never far from your next memorable meal.
Why choose between culture and coastline when you can have both? Malta offers a unique combination of vibrant city life and beautiful beaches, all within easy reach. Spend the morning exploring historic streets and the afternoon swimming in crystal clear waters.
Explore cultural and historical highlights
The capital, Valletta, is a Unesco World Heritage site packed with baroque architecture, museums and charming cafes. Just a stone’s throw away, you’ll find picture-perfect swimming spots and sandy stretches perfect for families. For those wanting iconic views and postcard-worthy scenery, the island of Gozo offers dramatic cliffs and peaceful coves ideal for a day trip. This seamless blend of city and beach makes Malta incredibly versatile – you can tailor each day to suit your mood.
Few destinations offer the depth of history found in Malta. The ancient city of Mdina transports visitors back centuries with its narrow alleys and honey-coloured walls. Across the islands, you’ll discover prehistoric temples older than the Egyptian pyramids, grand cathedrals and fascinating wartime heritage.
Cultural events and festivals run throughout the year, particularly during the shoulder seasons, giving visitors even more reasons to explore beyond the beach. Whether you’re a history enthusiast or simply love discovering new places, Malta delivers enriching experiences at every turn.
