Discover the magic of the Maltese islands

Malta and Gozo make the perfect destination for any honeymoon, wedding or romantic break.

Right in the heart of the sparkling Mediterranean Sea, the stunning islands of Malta and Gozo overflow with culture, natural beauty and charm. Crystal clear waters, white beaches and over 300 days of sunshine each year, make this a world-class holiday destination, just waiting to be discovered.

It’s the perfect romantic escape for honeymoon couples; you’ll find fantastic all-inclusive luxury hotels and top-class spas for the ultimate pampering experience and some of Malta’s top chefs ready to create a candlelit dinner for two. When you’re ready to explore the islands, discover thousands of years of history and Unesco World Heritage Sites, set sail on a yacht or go diving in the turquoise blue sea.



The Maltese islands are predominantly English speaking so making arrangements and tailoring everything to your exact wedding or honeymoon requirements couldn’t be simpler. Plus, with direct flights from across the UK, and just over three hours flying time, you’ll arrive fresh and ready to have the time of your life. 

You’ll find the hotels on these islands great value for money, too. There are plenty of pretty options for those on a modest budget, some delightful boutique hotels and a great range of luxury five-star hotels.

The perfect wedding

If you’re planning a wedding and have your heart set on a religious ceremony, you’re sure to find a location you love.

For couples planning a civil wedding, there’s no shortage of unique and interesting indoor and outdoor wedding venues. Perhaps you’ll opt for a historic palace with stunning gardens, a rustic farmhouse in the countryside or a celebration on a beautiful sandy beach? Members of the LGBT community will also find these islands very welcoming, with both weddings and civil ceremonies available.



Malta and Gozo also have no end of fantastic reception options to suit every pocket. A large buffet reception is popular in Malta, but if you’re looking for a seated wedding breakfast, the islands have many professional caterers who will ensure everything is perfect.



There’s no need to stress about organising your big day either ­– you can enlist the help of a personal wedding planner. They’ll take care of everything for you, from booking a venue or photographer, organising your wedding flowers and cake, right through to booking a sleek limousine or even a traditional Dgħajsa boat to whisk you away after your ceremony.

The Lovers’ Tree

If you tie the knot on one of these Maltese islands, you can symbolise your love in nature. The Malta Tourism Authority has teamed up with Nature Trust (Malta) and Identity Malta, so you can plant a commemorative tree at the Xrobb l-Ghagin Nature Park to mark your wedding.

As a growing monument to your love, your tree will provide shelter to local wildlife, and commemorate the promise you made on the Maltese islands. For more information, go to http://www.visitmalta.com/en/theloverstree
