Malta is one of the world\u2019s smallest countries, but its reputation on LGBTQ+ inclusivity and equality is bigger than most. For the last nine years, it has topped ILGA Europe\u2019s ranking<\/a> of the continent\u2019s best places to be LGBTQ+ because of its bold societal and political progressiveness. Among its policies are a ban on so-called \u2018conversion therapy\u2019, the option for Non-Binary people to register their preferred gender on their birth certificate, and full adoption rights for LGBTQ+ people. But, does it have a lot to offer Queer tourists? In short, yes – but not in the way you\u2019d perhaps expect.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Unlike countries such as the UK, Spain or Germany, Malta doesn\u2019t have one particular \u2018Gay\u2019 area, nor does it boast an array of LGBTQ+ venues. It does, however, have a number of things the community can do and enjoy – including a bustling Pride, which takes place every September, and is the best time of year to visit. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

With people now planning their 2025 getaways, there\u2019s no denying that those who are LGBTQ+ have to take into account how welcoming a place will be for them, especially as we see hateful rhetoric becoming increasingly normalised globally. So, during a brief, three(ish)-day visit for Pride last year, I wanted to see just what the city had to offer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

DAY ONE: WINE TASTING, DINNER ON THE WATER & DARING COCKTAILS <\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

After arriving in the late-morning, the first thing to do was get lunch. Before checking into the InterContinental Hotel<\/a> we were staying at in Valletta, we headed to the Ta\u2019 Betta Wine Estates<\/a> for a beautiful spread of food. Located in the stunning green surroundings of Girgenti in Si\u0121\u0121iewi, the estate – which makes up four hectares of land and is 200 metres above sea-level – feels as though it\u2019s on an incredibly remote part of the island. What we quickly realised, though, was that this was the case anytime we left Valletta, as the island is so small that getting around doesn\u2019t take long or ever feel overly busy. This venue is the perfect place to go post-flight as you wait to check in to your hotel, not least because you can sit outside in the gorgeous heat while enjoying great food and tasting impeccable wines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Following a few hours at the Ta\u2019 Betta Wine Estates<\/a>, we headed to our hotel. Regardless of when you visit Malta, the InterContinental<\/a> has everything you could ask for and more. From multiple pools, to bars, to 24-hour room service, it would be understandable if you spent more time in the hotel than you\u2019d intended because it really does feel like its own mini metropolis within St George\u2019s Bay. More on its luxurious amenities later, though, as after a flight and lunch, it was the room itself that mattered most. Boasting stunning views of the ocean that you can look out at from your own private balcony, it also comes complete with a huge flatscreen television, large bed and modern bathroom to enjoy. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

<\/span><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Dinner was a short walk away at Sole by Tarragon<\/a>, which is inspired by European cuisine and specialises in seafood dishes. As a vegetarian, the options were somewhat limited, but the venue itself is beautiful and sits right on the water overlooking the bay. Its peaceful but vibrant atmosphere makes it an ideal place to eat on your first day, especially if you\u2019ve travelled a long way. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

But why end the night there? A short walk away is Kuch Kuch<\/a>, a cocktail bar like no other. Personally, I judge every bar on its espresso martini, but Kuch Kuch does things differently. Each cocktail is given a daring twist<\/a>, and their take on an espresso martini is the \u2018It Came Through Venice\u2019 made up of vodka, sake, cardamom, radish, beetroot, espresso and Tia Maria. Now, listen, this was not the nicest drink I\u2019ve ever tasted – but that doesn\u2019t mean Kuch Kuch isn\u2019t undeniably one of the best places to get a drink in Malta. Its varied menu is exciting, and not knowing exactly what will come is part of the fun – not least because they don\u2019t exactly serve things in typical glasses (\u2018It Came Through Venice\u2019, for example, came in a giant reusable coffee cup). Regardless of what drink you get, though, you simply cannot leave Kuch Kuch without trying the \u2018French Egg\u2019 shots, which do indeed come in an egg tray. If you do decide to stay at the InterContinental and don\u2019t go out after Kuch Kuch, then the good news is that it\u2019s a mere two minutes away by foot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

<\/span><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

DAY TWO: TUK TUKS, GOZO & PICKLEBACKS<\/strong><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

No visit to Malta would be complete without a trip to its sister island, Gozo. If you\u2019re visiting for a short time like I was, I\u2019d highly recommend doing this when you\u2019re able to be up early and dedicate a full day to it to make the most of it. Cheap ferry trips make getting to Gozo incredibly easy, with the option of a 25-minute journey from the Cirkewwa terminal or a 45-minute one from Valletta. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We decided to take a Tuk Tuk tour<\/a> of the island, which ended up being a highlight of the trip. Carrying up to six people, the drivers are able to show you hidden treasures not typically seen by tourists, with the option to stop wherever you\u2019d like. You can feel the breeze on your skin as you ride through the various breathtaking landscapes Gozo has to offer, including driving right by the crystal clear water. Think of the Tuk Tuks as a guided tour from a local, with the added excitement of being whizzed around the island. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

<\/span><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

We ate lunch at Il-Kartell<\/a>, a beautiful restaurant that sits right on the Mediterranean Ocean with stunning views of the water. The varied menu at Il-Kartell has an array of options that offers something for everyone, including a stunningly smooth espresso martini. By the early afternoon, we opted to head back to Malta to ensure we had enough time to freshen up before the evening – but make no mistake, there\u2019s plenty to do in Gozo if you\u2019d like to spend the full day there. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Q Travel Malta<\/a> that night gave us a walking tour of Valletta, designed especially for LGBTQ+ tourists. Although not everything on the tour is explicitly queer, it shows you fascinating details about Malta\u2019s heritage through an LGBTQ+ lens. It\u2019s one of the most scenic and accessible ways to see the city, and the tour guides will answer any questions you have, or give you the recommendations you need for the rest of your trip. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

<\/span><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Just a few steps away from the iconic Grandmasters Palace Square is 59 Republic<\/a>, one of Valletta\u2019s most popular dining spots. With a focus on innovative flavours and fresh seasonal produce, the restaurant boasts a varied drinks menu that makes it the perfect place to eat before exploring Valletta\u2019s nightlife – which is exactly what we did. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Think of London in the summer meets an intimate dive bar and you\u2019ll end up with our first stop, Caf\u00e9 Society<\/a>. Its description as the \u201cwrong place for the right people\u201d is 100% accurate, not least because of the truly evil pickleback shots it’s known for. Most people opt to stand on the steps in the blissful heat of the night, while inside you\u2019ll find what it says on the tin – a bar that somewhat resembles the vibe of a caf\u00e9. 
Most nights in Malta tend to end at the Michelangelo Club<\/a>, the island\u2019s biggest LGBTQ+ venue. It has everything you\u2019d expect from a nightclub, so there isn\u2019t a whole lot to say – but it\u2019s worth checking out if you enjoy partying, and not worth it if you\u2019re (understandably) someone who prefers to end the night after a few drinks in a bar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

DAY THREE: GAME OF THRONES<\/em> & PRIDE<\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Our last full day in Malta began with an exploration of Mdina, one of the island\u2019s most historically rich areas. It features a mix of medieval and baroque architecture, complete with fortified walls that offer some of the best views of Malta. Looking around Mdina is an absolute must for Game of Thrones <\/em>fans, as it was the filming location for the fictional capital city of King\u2019s Landing. The town\u2019s baroque gate can also be seen during the first season, with Mesquita Square being the real life location of Littlefinger\u2019s brothel. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

One of the most undeniably gorgeous aspects of Malta is the water that surrounds it. Short boat rides around the Grand Harbour are available at reasonable rates, and give you a chance to see Valletta\u2019s beauty from a different perspective. At around only 20 minutes or so, it\u2019s the perfect thing to do in between activities – so we opted for it before marching in the Pride parade.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Kicking off at the water fountain in Triton Square, the parade begins in the early evening when the weather is still warm but cool enough to march in comfortably. The parade features everything you\u2019d expect such as floats, dancers and street performers, all complete with a welcoming atmosphere that is indicative of the country\u2019s incredible track record on LGBTQ+ rights. If you choose to march the entire length of the parade, then you can expect it to last around an hour before it reaches its end in St George\u2019s Square where the concert takes place throughout the night. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This felt like the best time to eat as the evening often runs away with you once performances begin, and Gracy\u2019s<\/a>, one of Valletta\u2019s most elegant restaurants, is located right in the heart of the festivities. Whether you sit on the gorgeous rooftop (which overlooks the concert in St George\u2019s Square) or inside the luxurious dining space, your experience will be nothing if not grand. The food is light but filling, and is the perfect thing to keep you going throughout the night. It comes with the added benefit of being able to literally step out onto St George\u2019s Square whenever you want to, where you\u2019ll find a concert with performances from an array of Malta\u2019s finest talent. The concert is free to attend, but VIP options are available should you want them. There are also various after parties that take place throughout the island, the best of which is hosted by Nerve<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

<\/span><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

DAY FOUR: THE BLUE GROTTO<\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

With a flight to catch in the early afternoon, there was only time for one quick activity after a gorgeous breakfast spread at the InterContinental. The Blue Grotto is one of Malta\u2019s most famous cave complexes, made up of nine caves that sit on the bright blue water. For only \u20ac10, you can take a boat ride in and around them which lasts roughly 30-45 minutes. I have to say, this was one of the most memorable parts of our trip and really felt like a once in a lifetime experience – particularly as someone visiting from London where this simply does not exist. That said, would I in hindsight do it the morning after Pride? Absolutely not – especially if you\u2019re someone who gets seasick. It also wasn\u2019t helped by the fact we then had to fly home, but it was definitely worth doing, though a different day would have been better.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

<\/span><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

WHERE SHOULD I STAY?<\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Located at the heart of St George\u2019s Bay, the InterContinental<\/a> offers you the perfect balance of luxury and practicality. The hotel is within walking distance of pretty much everything you\u2019ll want to do in Malta, including all that Pride has to offer. Its expansive array of facilities include numerous pools (both inside and out), bars, restaurants, a spa, hair salon, gym and 24-hour room service. Prices start at a very reasonable \u00a3130 a night including breakfast, but try to book in advance if possible as this is a very popular spot (for good reason). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

HOW CAN I GET THERE?<\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If you\u2019re flying from the UK, then you\u2019re in luck because Malta is a mere three or so hours away. Flights with British Airways, which goes between Gatwick and Malta daily all year long, start at just \u00a3112 and give you a choice of Economy and Business Class. I flew in the latter, and it gives you the benefit of increased checked luggage, fast track security, complimentary food and drink on board, as well as lounge access – which is probably the perk you\u2019ll notice most of all as it totally eradicates the stress of being at an airport before a flight.
