Welcome to Malta, a Mediterranean archipelago with an average of 300 sunny days a year and a dramatic coastline peppered with sandy beaches. It’s pretty much the perfect resort destination, whether you’re into all-inclusive mega complexes or seaside luxury with lagoon pools and five-star entertainment. Check into one of these top resorts in Malta for a taste of the high life.

Nothing says luxury like a spa and Maritim Antonine has one of the best in Malta. After a tranquil treatment, relax in the heated indoor pool, hot tubs, sauna and ice grotto. You can even book your own hotel suite with whirlpool for a private spa session. Continue the pampering by the rooftop pool, where you’ll also find signature Mediterranean views. The hotel is built into the rocky slopes near Valletta and there’s a summer shuttle service to Mellieha Bay.

Resorts don’t have to mean buffets and all-inclusive deals. At Solana you can book a suite or apartment with self-catering facilities. The most luxurious options sit on the top floors with terraces ideal for dining and sunbathing. Built from Maltese limestone, the hotel blends with the traditional architecture of Mellieha and is just a 10-minute walk from the honey-hued bay. The rooftop pool terrace with swim-up bar is a highlight at this popular resort, which hosts live entertainment and a day spa with a chromotherapy hydro bath.

Experience all-inclusive resort life in full splendour, complete with international dining and afternoon tea, free-flowing cocktails and activities for the whole family. Think beach volleyball, a spa, minigolf and Aquagym classes. There’s even a bowling alley, not to mention three pools, one of which is the largest in Malta. In the evenings, the Entertainment Dome puts on a show with bands, magicians and dancing. If you can tear yourself away from the resort, head across the road to sun yourself on Mellieha Bay.
