The Maltese Islands
Malta and its sister islands, Gozo and Comino, an archipelago in the Mediterranean, boast a year-round sunny climate and 8,000 years of intriguing history. Offering travelers an authentic cultural experience, the islands are home to three UNESCO World Heritage Sites and a packed calendar of exciting events and festivals across every season.
Malta and its sister islands are home to the highest density of UNESCO World Heritage Sites in any nation-state anywhere. Valletta, a UNESCO World Heritage Site itself, is where travelers will find themselves engulfed in the rich history and religious attractions that make up this Maltese Capital. Built by the Knights of St. John, the city that is bustling by day and now by night, will transport you back in time with its historic architecture and old world atmosphere. Exploring the narrow streets will lead you to historical landmarks, quaint coffee shops and elaborate churches.



Malta's Unique Gastronomical Scene
Malta offers travelers a diverse culinary experience, from the traditional plate of eclectic Mediterranean food curated by a relationship between the Maltese and the countless civilizations that occupied the islands, to the never-ending vineyards delivering the finest, exclusive wines.
Taste History by Heritage Malta is an opportunity for guests to indulge in traditional Maltese food and wine with recipes from history. The menus are carefully curated by a team of professional Maltese chefs, coming together for a private dining experience where the chefs recreate culinary delights in the actual historic venues where Inquisitors, Corsairs, Knights, and Libertines once dined.
Malta continues to strengthen its presence on the gourmet cuisine map with the 2024 (fifth edition) MICHELIN Guide Malta adding Malta’s first Two Michelin Star restaurant, in addition to the Six One MICHELIN Star restaurants, five Bib Gourmand restaurants and 28 recommended restaurants.
