Perfectly placed for exploring

The Grand Hotel Excelsior has one of the best settings in the city. It’s a pastel-hued high-rise number located on the seafront, right next to the entrance to Valletta’s time-warp capital. You’ll look out over the glass-like waters of Marsamxett Harbour here, and there’s a sandy beach in front of the resort with a private section for hotel guests.

Luxury comes in spades at this place, from the glittering chandeliers and carpeted stairways of the interior, to the immaculately manicured gardens outside, which give way to a curvy sea-facing swimming pool. Among the hotel’s swish facilities there’s a state-of-the-art spa to recharge in, with candlelit cabins for facials, wraps and massages.

Find out more about Valletta

As the capital of Malta, Valletta holidays offer insight into the island’s colourful history, taking you back as far as the 1500s, when the walled city started to be built. Valletta is one of Europe’s smallest cities, with a population of less than 6,000, meaning it’s easy to get around and has a cosy, intimate feel. It’s also a photographer’s dream – there are lots of historic buildings and architecture, from the humbling site of St John’s Co-Cathedral to the Grandmaster’s Palace.
