Destination Guide

The Maltese Islands offer an exhilarating contrast of colours: the azure of the Mediterranean, the mellow honey-coloured limestone which characterises the architecture, and clear skies.  The Islands are a feast for our senses.  

Everywhere you go, a unique historic sight awaits. Temples, palaces, cathedrals and forts provide a living history you can almost touch. Sound plays an important part in the life of the Islands. The mix of fireworks and village band marches transforms a summer night into a special memory. The advantage of a stay on the Maltese Islands is that you can experience several holidays in one.

The cuisine here is a taste of the Islands’ multicultural heritage. Local restaurants offer a creative selection of tempting fare. After dinner, nightclubs, wine bars and casinos beckon with their own brand of excitement.

The Maltese Islands have also become a hub for the clubbing scene.  Internationally renowned DJs like Paul Oakenfold, Erick Morillo, Magda, Tiesto, and Van Heill appear for guest weekends throughout the year. This scene thrives all year round and is an all-week affair in a variety of venues, from large clubs to quieter bars where some excellent house DJs entertain and the admission is free. The main nightlife clubbing action is in Paceville, on the coast near St. Julian’s, where the clubs and bars are in abundance.

The historic and world heritage city of Valletta can be reached by local buses or, for a more pleasant journey, by a frequent shuttle boat service from the Sliema Waterfront. Sliema itself is a busy and vibrant small town where you can find a mix of designer shops and trendy cafés within a few minutes walk. The recently opened Tigne Point shopping mall is a 10-minute walk from the Hotel. 

The airport is approximately 20 minutes away, while local rocky beaches are within a short walking distance. The popular sandy beaches in the North are easily accessible by bus, and are no more than 40 minutes away.

Whatever you are looking for from your stay in Malta, you'll find everything within reach from Sliema and the Day's Inn Hotel.
