Malta Vacation Rentals

Famous for its tranquillity and cool, seaside vibes, Malta will make foodies feel right at home. Travellers will delight in taking part in the many open-air activities, tours, and festivals. It's no wonder so many travellers flock to Malta vacation rentals year round!

Getting to Malta

Malta’s three islands are served by Malta International Airport, which is located on Malta Island. From there, you can take public transport to other areas of the island, or to the port, where there is a regular ferry to the island of Gozo and the occasional ferry to Comino. While bus services across Malta Island are good, it’s recommended that you rent a car during your stay in one of the many Malta vacation rentals if you want to explore the island’s more remote attractions, such as the natural beauty of its beaches, cliffs and inlets.

A Taste of the Mediterranean: Pastries, Pie, and Wine

Traditional Maltese food is a rustic offshoot of Mediterranean cuisine. Look for torta tal-lampuki (fish pie), and stuffat tal-fenek (rabbit stew), considered some the island nation's specialties.

Also try pastizzi, savoury pastries filled with ricotta or mushy peas, or imqaret (fried date pastry). Accompany your meal with kinne, a non-alcoholic beverage made with bitter oranges that tastes like a combination of root beer and iced tea. For wine, be sure to check out Meridiana Winery's products, particularly their ISIS chardonnay.

Family Adventures: Climbing, Paragliding, and Swimming in the Mediterranean

Year round, Malta has free, regularly scheduled walking tours around the gorgeous capital city of Valetta. With its crystal-clear waters and proximity to Malta vacation apartments, the Mediterranean is a great place to go diving, snorkelling, and surfing. The region's comfortable temperatures make the perfect conditions for spending hours with the family in the clear blue sea.

Climbing enthusiasts will have a lot to celebrate in Malta, with many cliffs and mountains to choose from. On a nice day, you can even go paragliding!

Festivals and Fun, Night or Day

Malta is home to many festivals, especially in the summer months. In June and July, you can catch Ghanafest (a Malta Mediterranean folk music festival), the Malta Jazz Festival, and the International Arts Festival, a showcase of theatre, music, and dance.

In September, check out Notte Bianca, a night-long celebration of the arts and Maltese culture. The best part of this spectacular exhibition? All events are free of charge.
