This beautifully curated journey through Malta takes you from the golden-stone streets of Valletta to the ancient temples of Gozo, offering an escape that showcases the country’s highlights. Over seven days, you will explore UNESCO-listed sites, dramatic coastal cliffs, and poignant wartime history.
Begin in Valletta, Malta’s gorgeous capital and a city steeped in Baroque beauty. Walking its narrow alleys, you’ll uncover tales of knights, theatres, and rebellion, all framed by honey-hued architecture and glittering harbours.
At Palais Le Brun, a 17th-century palazzo turned luxury hotel, history feels wonderfully intimate.
Beyond the capital, Malta reveals deeper layers. Journey back to WWII with a private historian, tracing stories of bravery and endurance that earned the nation its George Cross. Stand among the prehistoric stones of Ħaġar Qim and Mnajdra, then take in windswept views from Dingli Cliffs.
On Gozo, uncover legends tied to Homer’s Odyssey and witness natural beauty at its most dramatic.
Malta is not only rich in heritage but welcoming in spirit. As a proudly inclusive destination, it consistently ranks among Europe’s most LGBTQ+-friendly countries – there are few places in the world in which queer people are more warmly welcomed.

Day 1: Arrival in Malta
On arrival in Malta, meet your private assistant beyond customs for a seamless transfer to your hotel. Nestled within Valletta’s historic streets, Palais Le Brun blends 17th-century grandeur with contemporary comfort. After check-in, receive a curated welcome package including local maps and recommendations.
Enjoy your first evening at leisure, exploring the nearby cafés and baroque streets. Your Destination Expert can suggest standout dining spots—from candlelit bistros to casual eateries by the Grand Harbour. This is a warm, elegant introduction to Malta’s vibrant capital and your base for the next few days of cultural immersion.
Day 2: Valletta’s Historic Heart
Meet your private guide for a walking tour through UNESCO-listed Valletta. Discover St. John’s Co-Cathedral, the Triton Fountain, and Republic Street, each steeped in stories of knights, crusaders, and artists. Wander down to the Manoel Theatre, one of Europe’s oldest playhouses, to admire its beautifully preserved baroque interior. Learn how Valletta blossomed into a cultural capital, blending military architecture with artistic flair. Conclude your exploration with a scenic walk back to Palais Le Brun, ideally located for evening strolls and culinary adventures in the heart of Malta’s elegant and historic city centre.
Day 3: Malta’s WWII Legacy
Delve into Malta’s wartime history with a private historian. Visit lesser-known sites across the island, including shrapnel-damaged façades, defensive pillboxes, and underground shelters. In Mgarr, tour a former air raid shelter where the Italian fleet surrendered in 1943. See rare memorabilia from figures like Churchill and Rommel, offering powerful insight into Malta’s role during WWII. This moving experience paints a vivid picture of the island’s resilience. Return to Palais Le Brun, where contemporary luxury and centuries-old stone architecture provide a peaceful contrast to the morning’s evocative journey.
Day 4: Ancient Temples and Clifftop Views
Join your guide for a morning tour to the prehistoric temples of Ħaġar Qim and Mnajdra, dating back over 5,000 years. These UNESCO-listed sites, perched above the Mediterranean, are among the oldest religious structures on Earth. Afterwards, visit Dingli Cliffs—the highest point in Malta—for spectacular coastal views. Later, travel to St. Julian’s and check in at the Malta Marriott Resort & Spa, where your Sea View Room offers a relaxing retreat after a day exploring ancient Malta. Enjoy a quiet evening or explore the town’s lively seafront.
Day 5: Gozo Island Discovery
Today, venture to Malta’s sister island, Gozo. After a scenic ferry ride, explore the Ggantija Temples, older than the pyramids. Take in hilltop views from Nadur, visit Calypso’s Cave, and descend into the stalactite-filled Xerri’s Grotto. Continue to Gozo’s traditional salt pans and Dwejra Bay, where weather permitting, you will enjoy a short boat ride along the dramatic coast. End the day exploring Victoria’s Citadel and cathedral before returning by ferry to the Malta Marriott Resort & Spa, where you can unwind after this memorable island-hopping experience.
Day 6: A Day at Leisure
Enjoy a full day at leisure to relax or explore independently. Lounge by the pool, indulge in a spa treatment, or take a leisurely walk along the promenade in St. Julian’s. Your Destination Expert is on hand to arrange optional activities—from private boat charters to wine tasting experiences. Or simply enjoy the facilities of the Malta Marriott Resort & Spa, with its sea views, fine dining, and serene spa. This day offers the perfect balance of freedom and indulgence before your journey concludes.
