Blessed with a warm, sunny climate year-round and friendly, hospitable people, the charming island of Malta has been a favourite vacation spot of our travellers for many years.
Located in the heart of the Mediterranean off the coast of Sicily, Malta has played host to a great many cultures - Roman, Greek, Arab and of course British, all leaving their mark on its historic monuments, architecture and ancient sites. There are many areas for you to explore on your own, and there is an extremely efficient and inexpensive bus system that traverses the island, which makes exploring easy and fun. There are many attractions, including the picturesque harbour, the narrow shopping streets of Sliema and colourful craft markets.
We stay at the First Class Dolmen Hotel, a seaside resort located in Qawra on the promenade overlooking the Bay of St. Paul. The small town of Bugibba is just a few minutes walk from the hotel and offers a number of shops, cafes, bars and restaurants. Facilities of the hotel include a variety of restaurants, a lounge and bar, fitness centre with sauna, an indoor heated pool and outdoor pool surrounded by sunning terraces.
Daytime activities offered by the hotel include light aerobics, wellness walks, trivia quizzes and other games. There is live music preformed nightly and a full-service Casino. Guest rooms are comfortably furnished, contemporary in design and all are seaview with a balcony or terrace. WiFi is complimentary throughout the property.
* Those joining any of our tours to Europe must be able to walk fairly long distances and climb stairs easily.

Very symbolic of Malta is the eye of Osiris painted on the bow of the boats to ward off evil at sea. Have a coffee by the harbour while enjoying the unhurried lifestyle of the village.
