Malta All Inclusive
Malta packs an unusual amount into 122 square miles: resort hotels along the north-east coast, limestone cities older than the pyramids, and swimming weather from May into October. All-inclusive board here buys a comfortable base rather than a closed compound — the sights are never more than an hour away.Most all-inclusive properties cluster around St Julian's, Sliema, Bugibba, Qawra and Mellieħa. Mellieħa Bay is the largest sandy beach on the island and the best bet for families; Golden Bay and Għajn Tuffieħa sit on the quieter west coast, backed by clay slopes and reached by a flight of steps.The real...

Frequently Asked Questions
Most Maltese all-inclusive packages cover breakfast, lunch and dinner in the main buffet restaurant, plus local-brand soft drinks, beer, wine and spirits during set hours. Snacks and afternoon tea are usually included too. Premium and imported spirits, bottled water outside meals, and à la carte restaurants often carry a supplement, so check the individual hotel's board basis before booking.
The bulk of all-inclusive hotels sit along the north-east coast. Buġibba, Qawra and St Paul's Bay are the most affordable and family-friendly; Mellieħa offers the largest sandy beach and a quieter feel; St Julian's and Sliema are livelier, with more shops, restaurants and nightlife within walking distance of the hotels.
The sea is warm enough for swimming from late May through to October, and often into early November. July and August bring the highest temperatures and the biggest crowds. May, June, September and October are the sweet spot for comfortable sightseeing weather. Winters stay mild at around 15°C, better suited to walking and culture than beach days.
Flights to Malta International Airport at Luqa take roughly three hours and fifteen minutes. Direct services operate from Manchester, Birmingham, Bristol, Edinburgh, Glasgow, Newcastle, Leeds Bradford and the London airports, with schedules widening considerably over the summer season. The airport is around twenty-five minutes from most northern resort towns by transfer.
No visa is required for British passport holders on stays of up to 90 days in any 180-day period. Your passport must be issued within the last ten years and valid for at least three months after your intended departure date. Malta is inside the Schengen area, so the EU's biometric Entry/Exit System applies at the border — expect fingerprint and facial scans instead of a stamp, and allow extra time at passport control. The separate ETIAS travel authorisation is not yet in force; the EU has said it will announce a start date several months in advance, so check the official europa.eu guidance before you travel.
Yes. English is an official language and spoken everywhere, cars drive on the left, and the euro is straightforward to use — which removes most of the usual friction from a first trip abroad with children. Bear in mind that much of Malta's coastline is rocky. For sand, head to Mellieħa Bay, Golden Bay, Għajn Tuffieħa or Paradise Bay.
A hire car is optional. The public bus network reaches most of the island cheaply, and taxis or organised excursions cover the rest. Ferries to Gozo run from Ċirkewwa in around twenty-five minutes, while boat trips to Comino's Blue Lagoon depart from Ċirkewwa, Buġibba and Sliema through the summer months.
