Escape the aftermath of the wedding planning whirlwind and celebrate tying the knot with a trip that has it all. Whether you’re an adventurous pair seeking your next thrill or you’re simply longing for some R&R and a snooze on a beachside lounger, Malta honeymoons can supply it. There’re countless experiences you’d struggle to find elsewhere, with scenic spots around every limestone cliff, sun-kissed trails to walk along hand in hand and phosphorescent waters ready to be dived into. Here are just a few of our favourite experiences for couples in Malta.
Fall in love with Valletta
What Malta’s capital lacks in scale, it certainly makes up for in culture. Packing quite the punch, this is a city UNESCO have coined 'one of the most concentrated historic areas in the world'. Lovebirds can walk the age-old cobbled streets, hugged by the maritime city's walls, and bask in the elaborate Baroque architecture before discovering the treasure trove of impressive medieval relics and historical hidden gems en route.
Go doe-eyed for Gozo
Tranquillity reins king in the rural island of Gozo, with a generous scattering of scuba locations and a handful of pampering spas for good measure. Adventurous couples can dive the days away, with sea life spotting and pearly beaches, while lovers of relaxation can top up the tan and enjoy the slower pace of life while strolling through peaceful honey-hued villages. Wine and dine the night away, feasting on fresh seafood washed down with bottles of fizz before retreating to the comfort of a luxe hotel or cosy farmhouse villa, the perfect base for resting your head after a day of exploring.
