Weather & Seasons
The Maltese Islands benefit from a warm and mild climate all year round and sunshine throughout much of the year. Temperatures average 14°C in winter and 32°C in the summer months. The hottest months are from mid July to the end of August, but the high temperatures are generally cooled down by sea breeze.
Conferences
Small in size, big on capability — Malta is built for large-scale impact.
Despite their compact footprint, the Maltese Islands have made significant investments to host world-class events with ease. Malta is home to multiple venues that can accommodate over 1,000 delegates under one roof, making it an excellent choice for major conferences and international gatherings.
While many hotels offer outstanding in-house conference facilities, the island also features a selection of dedicated, purpose-built conference centres, designed to deliver seamless, large-scale event experiences in inspiring Mediterranean settings.
Incentives
The Maltese Islands offer an incredible natural playground for memorable incentive travel and high-impact team-building activities. From crystal-clear seas and golden beaches to rugged cliffs, countryside trails, hidden coves, and ancient fortresses — Malta’s rich and diverse landscape sets the stage for experiences that energise, inspire, and connect.
Whether it’s a thrilling sailing regatta, a speedboat adventure through sea caves, or a more immersive experience like a treasure hunt across historic sites, desert island survival challenges, or culinary cook-offs featuring local Maltese cuisine, the possibilities are endless.
