VisitMalta is proud to announce joining Serandipians as a Preferred Destination Partner as of January 2024. Serandipians are a community of passionate and excellence-oriented travel designers willing to provide unexpected, exceptional and seamless experiences to their clients; sharing values embedded in service, elegance and highly skilled craftsmanship.
The Maltese Islands, set in the middle of the Mediterranean, are a destination to be
discovered. Notably, the islands are a treasure trove of history and culture. They
present visitors with an opportunity to immerse themselves in centuries of history
while enjoying the very best of modern facilities.
With spectacular views over the Grand Harbour, boutique hotels beaming with
character, and Michelin-starred restaurants, the capital city Valletta is the place to be
for both history buffs and foodies. It also gets a seal of approval as a UNESCO
World Heritage Site.
Malta has great global connectivity and can be reached within three hours from
Europe’s major capital cities. Private jet companies offer exclusive, tailored services
meeting clients’ specific aviation requirements.
The Maltese Islands are blessed with crystal clear sea, inviting water sport and
boating aficionados to enjoy the refreshing waters and the panoramic views.
Whether it’s on a vintage schooner or a high-tech superyacht, translucent Maltese
waters are an invitation to relax and have a dip. A yacht charter is a wonderful way to
view the pretty coves and rocky cliffs of the Islands, whilst one may also enjoy
activities such as Stand-up paddling, kayaking, jet-skiing, windsurfing, and more.
The country is also popular for the wintering of boats due to its unbeatable climate
and a joie de vivre approach.
The mild Mediterranean weather allows for an all year-round enjoyment.
Temperatures vary from an average low of 9 degrees Celsius in January and
February, to an average high of 31 degrees in July and August. This is why the
calendar of events on the islands is so active – from the Rolex Middlesea Race in
November to the Valletta International Baroque Festival in January and the Malta
Classic Grand Prix in October, there’s always something going on.
Gastronomy in the Maltese Islands is both a delight and an adventure. There’s
nothing like it; it’s a true reflection of the Islands’ 7,000 years of history, with
influences from the Arabs, Phoenicians, French, British, and of course the
Mediterranean. From traditional dishes to modern and international cuisine, idyllic
settings offer a special backdrop. Whether it’s the breath-taking sea views, charming
traditional courtyards or stately homes, it makes the food taste even better and a memory more cherished. For an intimate and bespoke experience, hiring a private chef or booking a private cooking class are the utmost memory to be created.
For those in search of an inner cleanse and a mental break, nothing beats Gozo,
Malta’s sister island which is reached within a 25-minute ferry ride. Gozo has
retained its authenticity and adopts a slower pace of life. It offers both the beautiful
natural beauty and like Malta, some incredible well preserved ancient history. Typical
characterful villas are the most popular accommodation in Gozo, where guests may
enjoy the view, hire a masseur, or a private chef. Outdoors, one may enjoy
countryside walks, outdoor yoga sessions, snorkelling in the waters and rock
climbing for the more adventurous. In particular however, scuba diving in Gozo is
first class.
“We are excited and proud to be joining Serandipians. The Maltese Islands are
incredible and deserve to join this high-end network of suppliers and destinations.
The Islands pack in more than anyone would think, especially when it comes to
history and heritage, culture, and anything to do with the marvellous waters, be it
yachting, diving, snorkelling, and any kind of water sports. Infrastructure on the
islands continues to grow, with some prestigious international brands in the pipeline.
We look forward to developing our relationship with Serandipians while continuing to
expand the luxury tourism sector in Malta,” said Christophe Berger, Director
VisitMalta Incentives & Meetings.
“The Maltese islands are a perfect destination for Serandipians Member Travel
Designers’ clients, who are keen explorers of luxury though nature, arts and culture.
We are privileged to be facilitators of such serendipitous discoveries,” said Quentin
Desurmont, CEO and Founder of Serandipians.
