Malta is one of the smallest countries in Europe, but don't let that deceive you. With one of our adventure holidays, you'll discover an intriguing land filled with spectacular natural landscapes, uncover millenniums worth of history, and embrace an eclectic and vibrant culture.

With its unique positioning in the Mediterranean Sea, Malta has been a melting pot for European, African and Middle Eastern cultures over the centuries. The country is made up of three islands, of which the largest is Malta. It's home to the small, walled capital city of Valletta while neighbouring Gozo boasts some of the world's oldest free-standing structures. The little island of Comino sits between them but also has its own story to tell.

Malta has enough to fascinate all travellers, but its year-round sunshine means it's the perfect place for a range of activity holidays. Pristine coastlines, ancient historic sites and charming villages make for idyllic backdrops as you venture from place to place at your own pace.

Our adventure holidays in Malta are conveniently arranged, with hand-picked accommodations and expertly crafted itineraries to guide you. But they also give you the freedom to find your own way if you'd prefer. See all our adventures below for an unforgettable holiday in Malta.



What to do on an adventure holiday in Malta?

Malta lends itself to a range of outdoor activities, with diving, climbing and hiking enthusiasts flocking to its islands every year. Our activity holidays focus on self-guided walking tours , giving you the chance to create your own story in gorgeous Malta.

Guided by the Headwater Navigation App, you'll meander through the sun-drenched Maltese islands, taking in all the fascinating sights and unspoilt Mediterranean landscapes on offer. Our adventure holidays allow you to see many of Malta's highlights and hidden secrets, including:

Valletta

Malta's capital city is the smallest in the EU and boasts UNESCO World Heritage status. This gives you a glimpse into how fascinating Valletta is, but you'll have to experience its narrow, cobbled streets, ancient city walls, and Grand Harbour for yourself.

Valletta's history alone makes it worth a visit, with 320 monuments telling the story of life under the rule of the Greeks, Romans, British and many more. Exploring the city on foot is the best way to see everything it has to offer.

Gozo

As unspoilt islands in the Mediterranean go, Gozo has to be high up on the list. At just 14km by 7km and with a plethora of walking routes available, it's the perfect size to explore on foot.

Malta's second largest island has an intriguing blend of spectacular coastal paths and rock formations, sleepy fishing villages filled with character, and remnants of history and prehistoric times. The Inland Sea is a natural seawater pool which offers a stunning spot for a swim.

Gozo is also fantastic for wildlife lovers, with a wide array of flora and fauna on offer.

Megalithic Temples of Malta

Malta is home to seven megalithic temples which are UNESCO World Heritage sites and some of the oldest freestanding stone buildings in the world.

Gozo's most famous attraction is the Ggantija Archaeological Park, home to prehistoric tombs on the Xaghra plateau. These structures were built between c.3600 and c.3200 BC. The megalithic structures on the island of Malta, including Hagar Qim and Mnajdra, are equally as extraordinary and well worth a visit.
