Cocktails and Casinos: A Weekend Break in St Julian’s

1 April, 2018

St Julian’s is the party centre of the Maltese Islands, boasting some of the best clubs, bars and casinos in the southern Mediterranean. Situated just up the coast from Sliema, visitors flock to this coastal town all year round, but the summer months – when the nights are hot and filled with excitement – are inevitably busiest. The activities here not as beach-focused as in other areas of the island. Instead, visitors and locals enjoy the vibrant bars, restaurants and

The Scrumptious Specialities of Sliema

7 March, 2018

Malta is the hidden gem of the Mediterranean. Lesser known to tourists than Italy and Greece, this charming island is a delightful mix of beauty and culture. The picturesque capital Valetta is brimming with medieval sites and wonderful architecture, interweaved with bustling streets and family-run restaurants. Cute fishing villages can be found all across the island, boasting views into every direction of the southern Mediterranean. Because of its proximity to northern Africa (Tunis is only 250 miles away), Malta experiences

7 Beaches You Won’t Believe Are in Europe

13 February, 2018

If the idea of soaking up the sun on a soft sandy beach with turquoise waters gently lapping on the shore seems like a far off dream, then think again. Yes, it is true that the Caribbean and other distant shores do have magnificent beaches, but you might be surprised to find that some of the best beaches are much closer than you think. Europe boasts a number of luxury shores, complete with soft white sand, aqua blue seas and

Soak Up the Sights and Secrets of Sliema in a Weekend

15 August, 2017

This summer I recommend the charming city of Sliema in Malta for those with a passion for culture. In addition to the high profile attractions, it is the perfect place for leisurely strolling the streets and getting a feel for the town. It also has a lovely climate! Sliema is a quiet residential coastal town with a rich history to uncover. It was once the home of Malta’s aristocracy and developed into an upmarket residential area with beautiful villas, town houses and British Victorian buildings lining the promenade. Seeing the potential for tourism, the town underwent a huge development and

Instead you will be thinking about enjoying a week in the sunshine with your mates, a few drinks and no responsibilities. If relaxing and getting stuck into some serious sunbathing, a little water sport activity and perhaps a sampling of the local beverages is on your agenda, then the Maltese resort of Bugibba is high on my list of places to recommend.

Even beginners are well catered for here. I might not be diving as much as I once was, but when I was footloose and fancy free, Malta was a place I would head to – not only for the diving, but for the social life too. If diving is something that you want to tick off your list, or just something you really enjoy doing, Sliema in

12 January, 2016

If you’re a professional or semi-pro athlete, no matter what your discipline, you may find yourself having to dig pretty deep for motivation in order to keep up a regular training regimen over winter. But if you want to stay in the running (so to speak!) keeping at the peak of your physical fitness is a no-brainer, so slacking off just because it’s cold, dark and raining isn’t an option. It doesn’t have to be so hard, though, and many athletes and their coaches are waking up to the huge physical and mental benefits of taking off to Europe for

Warm Up Your Winter Training Regimen in Malta

With the prospect of less than perfect training conditions throughout the winter months in the UK, like many professional sportspeople, you may be looking further afield for opportunities at this time of the year.
