Private island travel in Malta

Island trips with seclusion and privacy.

Malta is a travel country that Island Escapes plans for couples and families, with a focus on seclusion and privacy. As a Swiss travel agency with video consultation, Island Escapes also organises long transfers to remote islands. The planner starts the island planning, and on a video call you clarify the details.

Overview

Malta is small, and that is exactly why the island can be turned so well into a calm programme. Sliema lies opposite the capital Valletta, and the promenade invites an evening stroll with a view across the bay. From there boats go to the neighbouring island of Comino, where the Blue Lagoon glows pale turquoise between rocks, and on to Gozo, the green sister with villages and quiet cliffs. From April to June the days are warm but not hot, and the coast is still free of crowds.

Couples appreciate the peace on Gozo, families the short distances between beach, old town and harbour. Maltese and English are the national languages, so communication is easy. Good to know: in Malta people drive on the left, anyone hiring a car should plan for that. Tap water is drinkable, but tastes strongly of the sea, and many reach for bottled water.

How much time you spend on the main island and how much on Gozo is something you discuss in a video call with Island Escapes.
