Exploring Malta

About Malta

Malta, a small archipelago in the heart of the Mediterranean, boasts a history as rich and layered as its famous pastizzi. From Neolithic temples to Roman ruins, and from Crusader fortresses to WWII shelters, the islands are a living museum.

• Prehistoric Malta: Explore the Megalithic Temples, some of the oldest free-standing structures in the world, predating Stonehenge and the Egyptian pyramids.
• The Knights of St. John: Learn about the legacy of the Knights, who ruled Malta for over 250 years, leaving behind stunning Baroque architecture and a fascinating history. Visit Valletta, a UNESCO World Heritage city built by the Knights.
• World War II: Discover Malta's strategic importance during WWII and its resilience under heavy bombardment. Explore the war shelters and learn about the island's heroic role.

Why Malta Is The New Favorite For MICE Travel From India

If you're looking for a MICE destination that balances luxury, culture, adventure, and accessibility—Malta checks all the boxes. Nestled in the heart of the Mediterranean, Malta is a rising star for Indian corporate offsites and incentive travel, offering both heritage and high-end hospitality in a compact, easy-to-manage destination.

At Citius Holidays, we’ve successfully curated large-format luxury MICE groups to Malta in February (cool winter charm) and May (sunny Mediterranean glow)—and both seasons delivered distinctly memorable experiences.

What Makes Malta Ideal For MICE?

A Seamless European Experience Minus the Crowd

• Malta offers the charm of Southern Europe—ancient cities, stunning coastlines, open-air cafés—but without the overwhelming hustle of bigger European hubs. It’s intimate, safe, and incredibly well-connected, making it perfect for high-value groups looking for both comfort and uniqueness.

Luxury Hospitality With A Local Touch

• With global hotel brands like Hilton, Hyatt, Westin, and Marriott, Malta brings premium service and elegant venues suitable for meetings, gala dinners, or celebrations. These hotels offer everything from sea-view boardrooms to rooftop cocktail spaces—perfect for business with a view.

Signature Experiences For Global Minds

• Whether you're rewarding top performers, inspiring leadership teams, or celebrating milestones, Malta delivers curated moments that leave an impression:

Explore Like Locals - In Style

• Think buggy rides through historic streets, vintage buses rolling past golden limestone facades, and guided walking tours in Mdina—the silent, walled city straight out of a film set.

🌊 Blue Waters & Island Hopping

• Take your team off the grid with boat trips to Comino Island, kayaking through the Blue Grotto, or enjoying sun-kissed leisure time on the beaches of Gozo. For the more adventurous, water-sports like parasailing or snorkelling offer a vibrant burst of energy.

🏛 Culture, Cannon Salutes & Timeless Architecture

• Malta celebrates heritage like no other. From the Three Cities tour to UNESCO-listed Valletta, every corner tells a story. A highlight for our past groups has been the cannon salute ceremony at Upper Barrakka Gardens, followed by a procession with a live Maltese band—ending in a black-tie Gala Dinner at Casino Maltese, one of the island's most prestigious venues.

Global Cuisine and Indian Comfort

• While Maltese cuisine is a delightful fusion of Mediterranean flavours, Indian guests are always taken care of. Citius ensures curated menus—be it Jain, vegetarian, or regional Indian preferences—served in premium local restaurants or brought directly to your private event venues.

Travel Tips for Your Maltese Holiday

Planning your trip to Malta? Here are some helpful tips:

• Getting Around: Malta has a good public transport system, but renting a car is recommended
  for exploring the islands at your own pace. Be aware that they drive on the left.
• Accommodation: Choose from a variety of options, from budget-friendly hostels to luxurious
  hotels and boutique guesthouses.
• Best Time to Visit: Spring (April-May) and Autumn (September-October) offer pleasant weather
  and fewer crowds. Summer (June-August) can be hot and crowded.
• Currency: The currency is the Euro (€).
• Electricity: Malta uses the UK-style three-pin plugs. Bring an adapter if needed.
