Choosing the Right Destination

Choosing the right destination sets the stage for success. Malta, a Mediterranean gem that seamlessly blends historical richness with modern sophistication sets the perfect backdrop for kick-off meetings and conferences, offering an exceptional blend of culture, landscapes, and world-class conference facilities.

Malta’s history dates back thousands of years, leaving an indelible mark on the archipelago. Ancient sites like the UNESCO World Heritage-listed capital Valletta showcase Malta’s rich cultural tapestry, providing a unique setting for business events.

Beyond the conference room, Malta boasts picturesque landscapes that captivate attendees. From crystal-clear waters to charming villages, the Mediterranean climate and natural beauty create a relaxed and conducive atmosphere for conferences.

Practical Considerations

Accessibility:

The Malta International Airport is well connected to all major European hubs with direct, daily flights and a short average flight time of 2.5 hrs. In addition the islands are serviced by Emirates and Turkish Airlines, making Malta ideal for conferences from the EMEA region. The airport is conveniently located 15 minutes from the capital Valletta and 20 minutes from the popular seaside town of St. Julian’s.

Best Time to Host an Event:

With a mild climate and over 300 days of sunshine a year, the Maltese Islands offer excellent conditions for events throughout the year. The most popular times to host events in Malta are between April and the end of June, and again from September to the end of November. Opting for the shoulder months between January and March provides additional benefits, including excellent pricing and exclusivity of sites, venues, accommodations, and conference facilities.
