Luxury Hotels & Venues Malta
Luxury 5 Star Hotels & Venues Malta - The Maltese archipelago lies virtually at the centre of the Mediterranean, with Malta lying 93km south of Island of Sicily and 288km north of African coastline. This neat little archipelago consists of only three islands: Malta, Gozo and Comino with a total population of less than half a million inhabitants over an area of only 316sq km and a coastline of 196.8km (not including 56.01 km for the island of Gozo).
Malta is by far the largest island and the cultural, commercial and administrative centre. Gozo is the second largest island and is more rural, characterised by fishing, tourism, crafts and agriculture while Comino is largely uninhabited.
With superbly sunny weather, expansive beaches, a thriving nightlife and 7,000 years of intriguing history, there is a great deal to see and do. With a little help from any guidebook, captivating places of interest are immediately identified - the world famous Hypogeum selected as a place of World Heritage by UNESCO, prehistoric temples and grand palaces are but a few.
Accommodation
Malta is proud of its hotel and accommodation standards. This quality standard Quality Service Audit (QSA) recognises and promotes quality service in all hotel categories - from the basic to the luxury. Hotels are awarded this recognition following a mystery guest review to establish that the level of service meets the criteria as established by the Malta Tourism Authority. This is awarded for a period of twelve months.
As Malta is not a huge island you would probably expect a few small hotels dotted around. That is not the case. Malta offers you a good choice of small boutique hotels, to converted farmhouses and luxury villas. Gozo also offers a vast selection of accommodation to choose from. For a taste of authentic village life, rent a farmhouse or a villa and for a taste of luxury, rent one with a pool. Other accommodation ranges from deluxe hotels to self-catering apartments. Spectacular sea views and rustic landscapes are never hard to find in Gozo, wherever you choose to stay.
Activities in Malta
The Maltese Islands offer an exhilarating contrast of colours: the azure of the Mediterranean, the mellow honey-coloured limestone which characterises the architecture, and clear skies. The Islands are a feast for the senses. Everywhere you go, a unique historic sight awaits - Temples, palaces, cathedrals, and forts provide a living history you can almost touch. Sound plays an important part in the life of the Islands. The mix of fireworks and village band marches transforms a summer night into a special memory. The advantage of a stay on the Maltese Islands is that you can experience several holidays in one.
Cuisine here is a taste of the Islands' multicultural heritage. Local restaurants offer a creative selection of tempting fare. After dinner, night clubs, wine bars and casinos beckon with their own brand of excitement. To experience all this, you won't have to travel far. Just a few hours flying time away from most European cities, the Islands are serviced by direct scheduled flights operated by the national carrier and major international airlines. |
