VALLETTA, MALTA – VisitMalta announce joining Serandipians as a Preferred Destination Partner beginning 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.
Malta, an archipelago located in the middle of the Mediterranean, is a destination to be discovered. The Maltese Islands, comprising three sister Islands, Malta, Gozo and Comino, provide visitors with a unique opportunity to immerse themselves in 8,000 years of history and culture while enjoying the very best of modern facilities and amenities as well as luxury curated experiences.
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.
The Maltese Islands are blessed with crystal clear sea, inviting watersport 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 charming coves and dramatic 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 (joy of living) approach.
The mild Mediterranean weather allows for all-year-round enjoyment. Temperatures vary from an average low of 48 degrees Fahrenheit (9 degrees Celsius) in January and February, to an average high of 88 degrees Fahrenheit (31 degrees Celsius) in July and August. This is why the calendar of events on the islands is so active – from the Rolex Middle Sea Race in October, to the Valletta International Baroque Festival in January and the newly introduced maltabiennale.art 2024, for the first time under the patronage of UNESCO, from March 11 – May 31, 2024, there’s always something of interest for every visitor.
Gastronomy on the Maltese Islands is both a delight and an adventure. Nothing truly compares to Malta’s culinary scene; it’s a true reflection of the Islands’ 8,000 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, one can hire a private chef or book a private cooking class.
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 natural beauty and like Malta, some incredibly well preserved ancient history. Typical villas that reflect the local character of the villages are the most popular accommodations in Gozo, where guests may enjoy the view, hire a masseur a private chef. Outdoors, one may enjoy countryside walks, outdoor yoga sessions, snorkelling in some of the world’s best waters for diving 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 watersports. 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.”, says 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 through nature, arts and culture. We are privileged to be facilitators of such serendipitous discoveries” says Quentin Desurmont, CEO and Founder of Serandipians.
