The perfect fitness destination
Think you know all the best wellness spots? Think again. Revitalise your body and mind with a trip to historic Malta
Only a short three-hour flight away from the UK, with balmy temperatures, scuba-diving prestige, gastronomic delights and wellness activities aplenty, the Maltese Islands are an undiscovered wellness hotspot. Malta’s capital city Valletta, European Capital of Culture 2018, boasts a number of restaurants perfect for the health-conscious. Head to The Grassy Hopper or Soul Food for the Med’s take on plantbased dishes or treat yourself to a sumptuous dinner with picturesque views of majestic Malta at the Harbour Club or Panorama Restaurant. Hop aboard a 25-minute ferry to discover Malta’s sister island Gozo, with stunning bays, crystal-clear waters and vast cliffs. Just off the beaten track, make a beeline for Thirty Seven Gozo, a stunning boutique hotel that offers yoga, massages and organic food. Dive into the sparkling Mediterranean Sea for snorkelling, kayaking and swimming or stay on dry land for some mountainbiking or horse-riding and swoon at the views. Now that’s a bucket-list destination.
