We’re planning to fly from Stansted to Malta and will be staying for a week (24th - 31st May), and we’ll share our flight details as soon as we’ve booked in case you’d like to join us on the same ones.
We’re aiming to book both our flights and accommodation well in advance, so feel free to do the same if you'd like to coordinate.
Malta International Airport (MLA) is the island’s only airport and is well-connected to the UK with regular direct flights from several airports. Flights usually take around 3 hours.
There are plenty of places to stay in Malta, from hotels and resorts to apartments and Airbnb's. As it's a small island, no matter where you stay, you'll never be too far from the fun! A few options:
Malta Marriott Hotel & Spa
We’ll be staying at the Malta Marriott Resort & Spa during our wedding trip! There’s absolutely no pressure to book at the same hotel, but please be aware that room availability is very limited due to other large group bookings at the same time. If you'd like to stay at the Marriott, we recommend booking as soon as possible to avoid missing out.
Courtyard by Marriott Sliema
A short distance from St. Julian’s, the Courtyard by Marriott Sliema is another great option. We stayed here on a recent trip and had a fantastic time — the staff were so lovely, the hotel was stylish and clean, and the food was great too. There’s also a lovely little rooftop pool area, perfect for relaxing, topping up your tan or nursing a hangover!
Other accommodation options in the area recommended by our wedding planner include:
Barceló Fortina Malta
Voco Malta by IHG
ME Malta
Hyatt Regency
Hyatt Centric
These hotels offer a range of styles and budgets, but again please don't feel pressured to choose one of these, choose whatever works best for you! 🥰
Malta is a small island – you can often get from one side to the other in under an hour—but do allow extra time for travel, especially on the wedding day, as traffic can get heavy.
Getting around is easy thanks to apps like Bolt, which we've found to be very reasonably priced.
If you fancy exploring on foot, just a heads-up that Malta is quite hilly—so pack comfy shoes!
Thinking of hiring a car? You’ll be glad to know they drive on the same side of the road as we do in the UK.
