Ultimate Luxury: Malta

After breakfast, meet your guide at Iniala Harbour House for a walking tour of Valletta. Explore the historic City Gate, Triton Fountain, and Republic Street, visiting the Manoel Theatre and St John’s Co-Cathedral, masterpieces of Baroque design. Continue to the Grandmaster’s Palace and its Armory collection, followed by the National Museum of Archaeology and National Library. Your guide brings to life stories of knights, artists, and the city’s noble past. After your tour, return to your hotel to unwind or explore the capital further at your own pace.

Transfer to Mdina and meet your guide for a walking tour of Malta’s silent, hilltop city. Explore Mdina’s Baroque cathedral and noble palaces, walking its peaceful streets within ancient ramparts. Continue to Rabat and discover St. Paul’s Grotto, where the apostle is said to have stayed after shipwrecking on the island. Visit the Basilica of St. Paul, then enjoy the slower rhythm of Malta’s central villages. Return to the medieval serenity of The Xara Palace, your intimate Relais & Châteaux hotel, set within Mdina’s fortified walls.

Set off to explore the UNESCO-listed temples of Ħaġar Qim and Mnajdra, among the oldest religious sites in the world. Marvel at their limestone structures perched above the sea, aligned to the solstices. Then, head to Dingli Cliffs, the highest point in Malta, for dramatic views over terraced fields and the island of Filfla. Your private guide will reveal fascinating layers of Malta’s ancient past. After your tour, return to The Xara Palace in Mdina, where your private terrace and jacuzzi offer the perfect place to unwind.

Travel north with your private driver and board a ferry to Gozo. On arrival, check in at the countryside retreat of Kempinski Hotel San Lawrenz. In the evening, enjoy a private transfer to a charming restaurant in Victoria, housed in a centuries-old stone cellar. Savour an eight-wine tasting from local wineries, paired with a seasonal four-course dinner crafted from Gozitan produce. This intimate culinary experience captures the rustic flavours of the island. After dinner, return to your hotel for a relaxing evening in your spacious Junior Suite.

Discover Gozo’s cultural and natural treasures with your private guide. Visit the UNESCO-listed Ggantija Temples, older than the pyramids, then explore Ta’ Kola Windmill nearby. Enjoy panoramic views from Nadur and visit Calypso’s Cave, said to feature in Homer’s Odyssey. Descend into Xerri’s Grotto, then travel to the traditional salt pans on the northern coast. Weather permitting, enjoy a boat ride through Dwejra Bay’s sea caves. End at the Citadel in Victoria before returning to the tranquillity of Kempinski Hotel San Lawrenz.

Enjoy a luxurious day at sea. After breakfast at Kempinski Hotel San Lawrenz, transfer to the marina and board your private yacht. With your skipper, chart a route to hidden bays like Mgarr ix-Xini and Xlendi. Swim at Dwejra and toast with prosecco as you savour a gourmet picnic. Later, sail to Comino’s Blue Lagoon and the Crystal Lagoon Caves, accessible only by boat. After a full day of sunshine and sea, return to shore and transfer back to your hotel for your final night in Gozo.

This morning, check out of your suite at Kempinski Hotel San Lawrenz and meet your private driver for your transfer back to Malta. Cross by ferry and continue to Malta International Airport for your departing flight.
