Luxury tour operator Elegant Resorts has announced the inclusion of Malta in its European Collection, set to launch this spring. The Mediterranean island, celebrated for its historical sites, vibrant cities, and pleasant climate, offers a compelling destination for UK travellers seeking culture and leisure within a short flight.
Malta's capital, Valletta, a UNESCO World Heritage City, is renowned for its neoclassical architecture and lively streets. Sophie Jones, Senior Product Manager for Europe at Elegant Resorts, highlighted the island's unique blend of culture, history, and cuisine, noting its high concentration of Michelin-starred restaurants. "It works well for a short break in Valletta or a longer, more leisurely stay," she remarked.
The island's appeal extends beyond Valletta. Rabat offers a quieter charm, whilst Gozo, Malta's smaller neighbour, is known for its dramatic coastline. Visitors can enjoy a range of activities, from exploring ancient temples to dining at award-winning restaurants like Simon Rogan's ION Harbour.
Elegant Resorts provides exclusive experiences, such as private tours of the Co-Cathedral and Caravaggio-themed performances. Accommodation options include the historic Phoenicia Malta and the boutique Rosselli AX Privilege, both offering luxury and cultural proximity.
The launch also features a five-day Discover Malta itinerary and a 10-night Malta and Sicily twin-centre holiday, starting at $5,130 (£4,210) and $12,560 (£10,310) per person, respectively. These packages include flights, transfers, and curated excursions, promising an immersive experience of Malta's rich offerings
