Malta Makes the Ideal Winter Sun Destination

Submitted By: Richard Gamber

As the days begin to get darker earlier and the temperatures start to fall, it’s a good time to plan your Malta holidays for that much needed winter sun during our coldest months. Malta has a happy average of over six and a half brilliant bright sunshine hours during October and November; over five in December and from five to six and a half during January and February. The winter temperatures stay warm every month, with typical November readings around 21C, and a pleasant 16C in February. And the crystal blue seas surrounding the islands are also wonderfully warm for beach days, water sports and diving. This article gives you key facts on everyday travel necessities and just a few of the many factors that make Malta holidays one of the best for the great winter escape.
Easy Travel Essentials
You shouldn’t have any problems booking exactly the type of accommodation you’d like - the better tour operators offer good quality accommodation ranging from ‘European style’ well-appointed family resort hotels, to luxury 5 star splendour, to cosy romantic getaway cottages. Your flight from any major UK airport only takes around 4 hours and when you land there are ATMs inside the terminal. The currency is the euro, and with English as the official second language life is very straightforward for UK & EU visitors. Do look at the travel vaccinations recommended at home before you fly, but often you’ll find they are not normally required. Don’t worry about bringing electrical travel adaptors from the UK - the electrical current is 230v and you can use your standard 3 pin UK plugs.
For those planning to hire a car, you’ll drive on the left hand side and all the road signs are in English. Once you arrive, you’ll discover one of Malta’s key advantages over many other popular destinations in parts of Europe and Asia. There are a plethora of unspoilt beaches, without the unfortunate litter and debris you’ll sadly see in many holiday destinations worldwide today.
More Than “Just” A Beach Holiday Destination
Whilst the idea of a winter sun destination inevitably conjures up those blissful images of lying on the beach, of course everyone has different ideas of what makes a great holiday. For discerning travellers looking for culture, Malta holidays will not be a disappointment. The islands offer sublime attractions which you will not find anywhere else in the world. There are some of the world’s oldest heritage sites, well-maintained museums, and world class contemporary music, theatre and arts events.
For sports enthusiasts, the pleasant climate is ideal - you’ll avoid sweltering in an uncomfortably hot climate, meaning you can truly enjoy your horse riding, water sports parasailing, diving and more. Malta’s natural landscapes offer a breathtaking backdrop to your sports pursuits and a welcome break from the colder, rainier months in the UK. Then why not unwind in the one the islands top quality spas.
Finally, Christmas is widely celebrated with colourful lights and decorations and a ‘traditional’ dinner of turkey and Christmas pudding in the wide selection of gourmet restaurants.
