Malta is steeped in culture, with some of the oldest buildings in the world. The Hypogeum, Tarxien Ruins, and Megalithic Temples are nearly 1,000 years older than Stonehenge and the Pyramids of Giza in Egypt.

With a mild climate year-round and an average of 12 hours of sunshine in the summer, it’s a paradise for outdoor enthusiasts. Malta has the warmest sea temperature in Europe, making it ideal for swimming, water sports, or just splashing around in the crystal-clear waters of the Mediterranean.

Moreover, Malta hosts numerous prestigious poker tournaments. The European Poker Tour was the first major event held here, and many others have since followed.

2024 promises a feast of action on the island with staple Events such as GPI nominated Malta Poker Festival, Battle of Malta, and The Festival taking place plus new events being announced throughout the year.

What's Hot in Malta

Bars and Clubs in Malta There’s certainly no shortage of places to drink and dance in Malta; from cosy family-run wine bars to giant nightclubs, Malta has it all. Highly recommended is Café del Mar where you can enjoy a fab day lazing by the pool in the sun before hotting it up in the evening with top DJs mixing it up.
Eating out in Malta The heart of Malta's thriving nightlife scene is St Julians which lies about half hour north of the capital city of Valletta. This is where the three main casinos are all located – Casino Malta, Portomaso and Dragonara – and the area is heaving with great places to eat out.
Things to do in Malta With its superbly sunny weather (more than 300 days a year), expansive beaches, thriving nightlife and 7,000 years of incredible history – including some of the oldest human structures in the world, there is a huge amount to see and do in Malta. It is also a place of stunning natural beauty.
