A relaxed Malta escape

5 nights from £1,485 per person based on 2 sharing

Swap falling leaves and chilly nights for golden limestone streets, harbour views, and soft October sunshine on this five-night escape to Malta. Staying at Grand Hotel Excelsior in Floriana, just moments from Valletta, you’ll be perfectly placed to enjoy the island’s rich history, relaxed waterfront atmosphere, and easy Mediterranean pace. From peaceful poolside moments to days spent exploring by land and sea, this short break brings together culture, coastal beauty, and just the right amount of downtime.
  • Grand Hotel Excelsior offers several ways to relax during your stay. Take a swim in the outdoor pool, enjoy views across Marsamxett Harbour, or book a treatment at Carisma Spa & Wellness. The hotel also has a private yacht marina, fitness facilities, and spacious outdoor areas, giving you plenty of room to unwind between excursions.

  • There is plenty to see beyond the hotel. The included return ferry to Comino takes you to the Blue Lagoon, known for its clear waters and excellent swimming. You’ll also enjoy a nighttime harbour cruise passing Valletta and Floriana’s historic fortifications, Manoel Island, the Three Cities, and the creeks surrounding Marsamxett Harbour and Grand Harbour. During the day, you can walk into Valletta to see St John’s Co-Cathedral, the Upper Barrakka Gardens, and the city’s limestone streets and squares.

  • Breakfast is included each morning, while the hotel’s four restaurants offer a choice of international dishes and Maltese flavours in the evening. There is also plenty to try locally, from pastizzi filled with ricotta or peas to fresh fish, Ä¡bejniet cheese, and traditional Maltese bread. The waterfront location makes it the perfect place to enjoy a relaxed drink or meal while taking in views across the harbour.
