Compare Malta Hotels

Malta, an island nation in the Mediterranean Sea, comprises three inhabited islands—Malta, Gozo, and Comino—and a number of smaller islets. Its sunny climate, balmy waters, and beautiful coastlines are coveted by tourists today, as they were historically by a long succession of rulers including the Phoenicians, Romans, Moors, French, British, and the venerable Order of the Knights of St. John. These disparate overlords, along with the influences of neighboring Italy, North Africa, and the Middle East, left their marks on Malta, leaving a rich and storied heritage that begs to be discovered.

Visiting Malta

Find Malta resorts in or near Malta's capital, Valletta, and you'll be in prime position for exploring the UNESCO World Heritage-listed old city. The fortified city on the eastern coast of Malta features some 320 monuments built since its founding in 1566. Among the largest and most impressive are St. John's Cathedral, Grand Master's Palace, and Fort St. Elmo, which houses the National War Museum. Some of the finest Malta resorts are housed inside 16th-century mansions in the city. Many more hotels in Malta are found in the central coastal town of St. Julian's, a scenic tourist hub overlooking a bay; its main landmark is the 17th century Spinola Palace, a Baroque masterpiece surrounded by formal gardens.

The major attraction of Comino is the Blue Lagoon, which separates the island from the uninhabited islet of Cominiotto off its western end; these clear, blue, boat-free waters are one of the top swimming and snorkeling spots in the country. You'll find a nice selection of resorts in Malta on the small island of Gozo, to the north of Malta island. Its capital, Victoria, includes several museums and the Citadel, a fortified old city inhabited since the Bronze Age. Gozo's hills and small villages are marked by historic churches, while the coastline is dotted with coves and cliffs, sandy beaches, and many harbors.
