A beautiful and historic island, full of many surprises. The views of the Grand Harbour and the historic Three Cities from the hotel are breath-taking and its location gives direct access to Valletta as soon as you step out. When I arrived at the hotel I realised that this was going to be an indulgent stay. During my visit to Malta, I enjoyed a delightful dinner at The Phoenicia Hotel, which let me tell you, was amazing and a culinary experience to remember.
This hotel is a much loved and iconic landmark of the island and boasts The Queen amongst its many guests of stars, socialites and crowned heads of Europe over the years. John and British influences which are what make Valletta a truly unique capital city. This is a must try if you enjoy a fine dining experience and the panoramic views from the terraces just add to its romance. Another trip back in time and one for those that love to visit World Heritage Sites is Hagar Qim and Mnajdra Archaeological Park, a megalithic temple complex, being one of the most ancient religious sites on Earth.
A beautiful private estate, amongst stunning countryside and home to the most delicious Maltese wine. You may have heard of the famous Blue Grotto⦠well let me tell you, this did not disappoint.
Head to Zurrieq for a boat ride which takes you to this beautiful spectacle. The Blue Grotto is a number of sea caves and is popular amongst visitors, not only for the caves but for diving, snorkelling and swimming as the waters are very clear, clean and deep.
I was pleasantly surprised to learn that the little island of Malta proudly boasts six Michelin-Starred restaurants. So if you can, try the tasting menu⦠just make sure you have loose clothing on. From shopping, sightseeing, and relaxing. I can absolutely say, that I actually fell in love with the island, in particular Valletta.
