Malta & Gozo
Nestled in the heart of the Mediterranean, the Maltese Islands emerge as a dynamic and vibrant destination for meetings, incentives, conferences, and exhibitions (M.I.C.E.). Boasting a successful economy within the Eurozone, Malta has been, and still is, one of the preferred choices for top-tier multinational companies to host their gatherings and events, drawn by its distinctive blend of history, culture, and contemporary flair. The Maltese Islands, strategically positioned at the crossroads between Europe and Africa, boast a three-hour flight radius to major European cities and are connected further with regular daily flights to Istanbul and Dubai.
Malta offers over 7,000 beds in luxurious 5-star hotels and over 15,000 in 4-star accommodations, accommodating diverse preferences and budgets. These include internationally recognised brands such as Hyatt, Hilton, and Marriott and top local brands such as Corinthia and AX Hotels. All feature in-house conference facilities and dedicated professionals, ensuring 24/7 on-site flexibility.
The islands of Gozo and Comino offer an enchanting contrast. Gozo, a serene sister, invites wellness retreats amid rugged hills and cultural landmarks, while Comino provides a slice of paradise for water enthusiasts with pristine diving and snorkelling experiences.
Corporate teams can engage in outdoor team-building exercises, sail the Mediterranean, or explore kayaking adventures along picturesque coastlines. The islands' rich history provides a backdrop for cultural explorations and interactive learning experiences, combining leisure with team enrichment.
Malta's gastronomy celebrates Mediterranean roots fused with historical influences. It features six Michelin-starred restaurants and four Bib Gourmand establishments. Malta's culinary offerings are diverse and plentiful, entertaining an international audience with differing requirements.
A vibrant cultural scene, with a calendar brimming with events and festivals, ensures lively streets year-round. From the Rolex MiddleSea Race in October to the International Fireworks Festival in Spring, there are ample opportunities for enjoyment and networking in a festive atmosphere. From Tuk Tuk tours of the island of Gozo to stunning dinners in 16th-century palazzos and castles left in Malta's heritage. Still, the Knights of St John, Malta, is the ideal destination for a 3-night incentive or conference programme.
English is the official language of commerce, and Maltese, a Semitic language, and proficiency in other European languages ensure seamless communication for visitors worldwide.
Malta's M.I.C.E. infrastructure is among the finest in the Mediterranean. Five convention centres are equipped to host any type of event. The Mediterranean Conference Centre in Valletta, a historical masterpiece, is the flagship venue converted to host modern-day events.
