Sandy beach with people sunbathing and swimming in the crystal-blue sea

Malta family holidays

Heaps of history, see-them-to-believe-them Mediterranean beaches and more activities for kids than you can shake a sandy spade at, family holidays to Malta are the picture of a paradise island.

See the city sights on a cultural break with the kids in Valetta, wade in the warm, welcoming waters of Mellieħa Bay or get away from it all in Gozo. With plenty of direct flights from the UK, over 300 days of sunshine and a wide choice of family-friendly hotels, Malta is ready and waiting all year round.

Top family-friendly destinations in Malta

Mellieħa

Looking for Blue Flag beauty, twinkling turquoise seas and a sizeable spot to sizzle on the sand? Mellieħa Bay would like a word. When you’re not whipping across the waves on various watercraft besides Malta’s largest sandy beach, get down to Popeye Village for rides and attractions in honour of the world’s most famous spinach slugger.

Gozo

The littler and lesser-known island of Gozo is perfect for chilled-out family holidays. Sign up for dolphin-spotting, Blue Lagoon boat trips and a world of watersports. Or pack some beach games and a good book to catch some rays in Ramla Bay.

Valletta

Packed with historic buildings and top restaurants from casual cafés to fancy treats, Valetta is always a top choice for family holidays. Spend your days riding the rails across the city to see the sites including the Grand Master’s Palace. Or take the Barrakka Lift to the top of town for views you won’t forget in a hurry.
