Malta – History and Sun for Families

Malta is a family-friendly destination where sunny beach experiences are combined with extraordinary history in a compact format. The archipelago is known for its golden sandy beaches and calm, shallow bays, making it safe and easy for children to swim and play. The crystal-clear Mediterranean invites snorkeling, where both children and adults can get up close to underwater marine life. Malta stands out particularly for its remarkable cultural heritage: the prehistoric temples Ħaġar Qim and Mnajdra are older than the pyramids of Egypt and offer a rare opportunity to experience some of the world's oldest buildings in a child-friendly way. In the fortified medieval city of Mdina and the capital Valletta, history continues with massive fortification walls, knightly castles, and ancient cannons that bring the past to life and are easy for the whole family to explore. Boat trips are a central part of the holiday – from relaxed excursions to the Blue Lagoon on Comino with its turquoise waters to harbor cruises along Malta's dramatic cliff-lined coasts. With short distances between attractions, a pleasant year-round climate, and a wide selection of family-friendly hotels, Malta is an ideal choice for families seeking both relaxation and enriching experiences, all in one place.
