9 Ways To Kick Off Your Summer Season In Malta
Summer in Malta, there’s nothing quite like it.
Although the summer weather has been around for a while now, have you properly kicked off your Maltese summer? We’ve put together a list of the most quintessential activities that truly make a Maltese summer. From lazy beach days to adventurous island hopping, these experiences are sure to set the stage for an unforgettable season of fun, relaxation, and adventure. Read on to see how many you’ve managed to tick off already, or for inspiration for your weekend plans!
1. Visit all your favourite summer spots
Whether it’s Shack, Cafe Del Mar, or Tony’s Ice Cream Van, we all have those special spots which we frequent every summer. These beloved hangouts make summer feel like summer. Seek solace in their familiarity and warmth (not just because of the sizzling temperatures), reminisce over past summers and create new memories in places that feel like home.
2. Beach day!
It’s not a Maltese summer until you spend an entire day lazing around on your favourite beach, soaking up the sun, and cooling off in the Mediterranean waters. Extra points if you enjoy a hobz biz-zejt while you’re at it. Just make sure to keep your hands clean while you eat, no-one likes sandy crunch in their lunch.
3. Quick dip
Beach days are great, but we’re also masters at the old ‘quick dip’. Picture this: you’re driving home from work, sweating through your business-casual shirt, and suddenly find yourself driving along the coast. In that moment, you know nothing is going to make you feel better than a spontaneous jump in the sea, tal-malajr.
4. BBQ
Beach, friends, food – the perfect Maltese combo. Firing up the grill for a barbecue with friends and family is a summer ritual that brings everyone together for good food, good company, and good times. Just remember to always clean up after yourselves and leave no trace!
5. Water sports
From surfing and kayaking to snorkeling and jet skiing, Malta offers a plethora of water sports activities to get your adrenaline pumping and make the most of the stunning coastal scenery.
6. Local summer produce
We’ve got some of the best local produce around, especially in summer! You haven’t lived until you stuff your entire face into a juicy Maltese watermelon on the beach. Not to mention our delicious local peaches, nectarines and strawberries, perfect on their own or incorporated into refreshing dishes and drinks. And don’t forget to load your hobz biz zest with our fresh, juicy tomatoes.
7. Hike to a beach
We’ve got some amazing beaches which are easily accessible, but in order to enjoy our most pristine swim spots, you’ll need to switch out your flip-flops for some trainers and be prepared to hike, climb and lug your way there. Plus, the reward is ten times sweeter when you feel like you’ve earned it!
8. Island hopping
Nothing marks a Maltese summer like a spot of island hopping! Whether it’s a day full of hiking and swimming around Comino, or a relaxing day enjoying the slow-paced charm of Gozo, visiting our sister islands is an integral part of the season.
9. Take a chance
Summer is the best time to add a little adventure into your day-to-day, to explore the less-trodden path and dive headfirst into unexplored waters. Now that you’ve ticked all the boxes and truly kicked off your Maltese summer season, why not take a chance at making this summer one to truly remember?
