Located to the South West of Sicily, the islands of Malta, Gozo and Comino have something to offer for all kinds of travellers. Malta is the largest of the three islands and has been described as one big open air museum. The attractions are varied whether its ancient walled cities of Valletta or the excellent air and motor museums, the island has a great deal to keep the visitor occupied, even if it didn’t have the almost year round sunshine. Away from the cultural attractions, Malta has a wealth of sandy beaches with an array of water sports for more active visitors with a varied night life scene for all tastes.
Gozo and Comino are more rural and laid back. Tourism is more low key here with good beaches. Old farmhouses are scattered throughout the countryside and Gozo is home to one of the world’s best preserved pre-historic temples.

There is a varied choice of Gozo accommodation, and when you stay at any local Gozo hotel or holiday villa, you can be sure of a warm welcome from the famously hospitable residents.

Enjoy a holiday in Gozo and you'll find out just how spellbinding the island can be - in fact, seven years will hardly seem like enough time to explore all the attractions surrounding your Gozo holiday accommodation! Life on Gozo is more restful and rural than on the neighbouring isle of Malta, and many visitors find a Gozo holiday makes an enchanting retreat. The green hills of Gozo stretch from coast to coast on this lush island, and the clear, warm waters offer exceptional Malta diving opportunities for holidaymakers, or wonderful picture postcard views from resorts such as Mgarr. Don't be fooled by the island's laid-back lifestyle though - Gozo holidays offer no shortage of vibrant late-night entertainment! Maltese Carnival Week attracts many visitors from Malta to Gozo, particularly to the village of Nadur. Cheap holiday accommodation on Gozo is often scarce during the March carnival, as crowds of costumed revellers celebrate this colourful cultural event; tourists and locals alike will fill up the holiday apartments and villas of Gozo in order to join in the festivities! Village feasts honouring patron saints are also an important Gozo tradition, and you're likely to experience a celebration like this during a Gozo summer holiday in one of our resorts such as San Lawrenz and Xaghra, as villagers celebrate with fireworks and live music.
