Whether you're seeking adventure, relaxation, or intimacy, here's a guide to what couples can experience on their Malta honeymoon.
Sail Around the Blue Lagoon
Malta is home to some of the most stunning beaches in the Mediterranean. From the turquoise waters of the Blue Lagoon to the secluded coves of Għajn Tuffieħa, you can find the perfect spot to relax and soak up the sun. And, the perfect way to explore these hidden beaches is on a private boat ride.
Comino is renowned for its crystal-clear waters, especially in the Blue Lagoon, which is famous for its brilliant turquoise waters, white sandy seabed, and spectacular snorkeling and swimming. The island has various trails with panoramic views, including paths leading to spots like Santa Marija Tower. Comino offers a peaceful escape from the busier islands of Malta and Gozo.
Whether you’re looking to relax on pristine beaches, enjoy water sports like snorkeling or paddleboarding, or explore historical sites, Comino is a stunning spot to experience Malta’s natural beauty in a quieter, untouched setting.
Cultural Immersion in the Capital City of Valetta
Valletta, Malta’s capital city, is a UNESCO World Heritage Site filled with history, culture, and charm. Although it’s one of Europe’s smallest capitals, it’s packed with things to see and do. Built by the Knights of St. John, Valletta is a beautifully preserved city with stunning 16th-century Baroque architecture. Valletta’s buildings, palaces, and churches reflect its storied past and are often adorned with colorful balconies, intricate stonework, and grand facades.
St John's Co-Cathedral is one of Valletta's most famous landmarks and a must-see. Its striking interior is filled with gold, marble, and Caravaggio’s famous painting, The Beheading of Saint John the Baptist. The cathedral is a masterpiece of Baroque art and architecture and showcases Malta's religious history.
Valletta overlooks the stunning Grand Harbor, and the Upper and Lower Barrakka Gardens provide panoramic views of it. The Upper Barrakka Gardens, in particular, are a peaceful spot to take in the scenery and watch the Saluting Battery cannon fire, a daily ceremonial salute.
Valletta’s main streets, Republic Street and Merchant Street, are lined with charming shops, cafes, and eateries. You’ll find everything from souvenir shops and artisan crafts to designer boutiques. Valletta is also a fantastic place to sample Maltese cuisine at local restaurants and food markets.
Valletta has a lively nightlife scene with wine bars, pubs, and cocktail lounges that fill the narrow streets. Strada Stretta (or “The Gut”) is a popular street lined with bars and live music spots. The evening ambiance in Valletta is enchanting, and a walk through its softly lit streets is a lovely way to end the day.
Visit Historical Temples & The Mdina
Malta's rich history provides a captivating backdrop for couples looking to explore together. The islands are dotted with ancient temples, castles, and the impressive walled city of Mdina, each telling its own story.
Wandering through the cobblestone streets of Mdina, often called the 'Silent City,' feels like stepping back in time. The mix of medieval architecture and spectacular views creates a truly enchanting experience. Let us arrange a private horse and carriage ride to explore the area.
Be sure to visit the megalithic temples of Ħaġar Qim and Mnajdra, UNESCO World Heritage Sites that showcase Malta’s historic significance.
Be Adventurous on Gozo Island on a Jeep Safari
A Jeep safari is a fantastic and popular way to explore the island of Gozo. Take a short ferry ride from the mainland and be transported to an adventure. Gozo is filled with fascinating sites like the Ġgantija Temples, the Azure Window ruins, the Ta' Pinu Basilica, and the Xlendi Bay cliffs. A Jeep safari can help you see all these sites and more in one day, making the most of your time on the island.
On your private jeep safari tour, you can stop at beaches, visit local villages, and even enjoy a meal at a traditional Gozitan restaurant. The safari on Gozo is a blend of adventure, culture, and breathtaking scenery, making it a great activity for your Malta honeymoon. Whether you’re a nature lover, history enthusiast, or thrill-seeker, it’s a unique way to experience all that Gozo has to offer.
Enjoy Stunning Views in a Quaint Fishing Village
Marsaxlokk is a charming fishing village on the southeastern coast of Malta and one of the country’s most picturesque spots and offers a unique, authentic experience.
Colorful luzzu boats, which are traditional Maltese fishing vessels, dot the harbor, each decorated with the "Eye of Horus" for protection. It’s a peaceful village where you can see local fishermen bringing in their daily catch and mending nets, giving you a glimpse into traditional Maltese life.
One of Marsaxlokk’s most popular attractions is the Sunday Fish Market. This bustling market showcases fresh seafood of all kinds — swordfish, tuna, octopus, and more. In addition to seafood, the market also offers fresh produce, local delicacies, and souvenirs. The Sunday market attracts both locals and tourists and has a vibrant atmosphere that’s great for exploring.
Marsaxlokk is one of the best places in Malta for seafood lovers. The village has a variety of waterfront restaurants that serve up fresh, locally caught fish and seafood dishes.
