Advantages: The locals and the nightlife

Disadvantages: Awful for familes

Firstly let me explain why I went to Malta, well if you look at my profile picture, that is me on my wedding day in, yep you've guessed it, Malta. The wedding in Malta experience was absolutely fantastic and for the most part the whole two weeks away were, but there were some huge negatives too.

The Island is absolutely beautiful, there can be no doubt about that, and the see is lovely and clean, but there are only 2 beaches on the entire island and neither offer much of a choice in getting there later than 7.30am.

We chose Malta for our wedding as you can't get married in Spain and the only other option was Cyprus. Cyprus was deemed to be too hot for my 2 year old (1 at the time) and the other kids that were coming, so we went for Malta. Ironically enough, we ended up there in what the locals were calling a heat wave. It was 34C in the shade on my wedding day. Anyone who doesn't like it too hot, should avoid Malta from April to October.

The day trips offer some variety and the nightlife is good, especially in St Julians Bay, but there is absolutely nothing to do for the children. This was very disappointing.

There are many things to do however if you are children free and there with either friends or your partner, so I can highly recommend Malta for that kind of holiday.

I will never go back there as it is not the kind of place you can go to twice in my opinion, but I think it is somewhere everyone should experience once, just not with kids.

Summary: Only go if you don't have kids.
