Sun-Kissed Adventures: Make the Most of Summer in Malta
June 20, 2025
There’s no better time to experience the magic of Malta than in summer. From golden sunshine to turquoise seas, Malta offers an unforgettable Mediterranean escape. And with The Phoenicia Malta as your base, you’re perfectly placed to enjoy every sun-soaked moment.
Malta’s summer weather is nothing short of glorious - long, sunny days with little to no rainfall and warm evenings perfect for al fresco adventures. Malta boasts an abundance of beautiful beaches, perfect for swimming, sunbathing, and water sports. The crystal-clear Mediterranean Sea invites swimmers, snorkellers, and boaters to dive in. Just a short boat ride away, the iconic Blue Lagoon off the coast of our smaller sister island, Comino, offers shimmering turquoise waters that are simply irresistible. Be sure to visit Gozo as well, known for its dramatic coastline and peaceful, unspoilt beaches.
Summer also marks the height of festa season in Malta. Nearly every village hosts its own celebration, featuring traditional food, music, fireworks, and processions in honour of patron saints. These vibrant events offer a unique peek into local culture and are an unforgettable experience for visitors.
In July, Malta pulses with energy as the world-renowned Isle of MTV music festival takes over Fosos Square, located just opposite The Phoenicia Malta. This iconic free event draws top international artists and thousands of music lovers for a spectacular evening under the stars. Throughout the summer, Fosos also hosts a variety of other exciting concerts, cultural performances, and national celebrations, making it one of Malta’s premier open-air event spaces. Not to be missed, the world-renowned violinist and conductor André Rieu is set to enchant fans with two extraordinary concerts on 29th and 30th August 2025, adding a touch of classical brilliance to Malta’s vibrant cultural calendar.
As the sun sets, Valletta, just a short stroll from The Phoenicia Malta, truly comes to life. The capital transforms into a vibrant hub of bars, restaurants, and live performances, all set against the backdrop of beautifully lit historic streets.
