With the never-ending sun, sea and sights there is no shortage of fun and wholesome things to do in Malta.
The varied environments and facilities in Malta allow for a wide range of sports to suit all tastes. For starters, the lush, beautiful landscape makes for great walking, hiking, and trekking. For those who are not into walking but would like to see the scenery can do so from the back of a powerful riding horse. The Maltese have a long tradition of horse riding and horse racing. In fact, the oldest polo club in Europe can be found in Malta. Those into more vigorous activities can see the Malta’s countryside by bike.
Tennis and squash facilities are always within close proximity from literally everywhere. One can play outdoor tennis almost every single day of the year. For both tennis and squash, most hotels have in-house facilities and courts, but there are also several world-class sports clubs.
Football is definitely one of Malta’s favourite sports, if not THE favorite sport of Malta. In fact, the oldest Manchester United supporters’ club outside of Great Britain can be found in Malta.
After a long day out on the trek, on a bike, in the squash court, or on the football pitch, there is nothing more relaxing and fulfilling than a heavenly hour at the spa.
With the beautiful blue Mediterranean on all sides of the Maltese islands, all forms of water sport and recreation have flourished. The temperate climate guarantees warm waters all year long. Relax on the beach and bask in the sun or indulge in any water sport. Beach resorts often rent out jet skis and equipment for windsurfing and paragliding. Diving is also highly popular with varied and colorful water wildlife as well as the number of sunken wrecks around Malta. The islands also play host to important regattas every year – a must-see for sailing enthusiasts.
