From charming frescoes and historic forts to enchanting caves set into the waterfront, look beyond Malta’s traditional event venues and discover the incredible unconventionality that lies just outside…
Step back in time and enter the magnificent, fortified city of Mdina, best known as "The Silent City". A treasure trove of untouched historic charm set within the winding narrow streets of Melita, Mdina serves as a beautiful reminder of Malta’s complex roots. Delve through the provincial township and learn more about the noble families who once lived there and drink in the breath-taking views from beyond the walls as you celebrate in style among the palazzos, courtyards and medieval dungeons. With its incredible historic architecture, it makes for a dazzling backdrop for any outdoor dine around, banquet or gala dinner.
The Upper Barrakka Gardens
Situated high above the Grand Harbour in Valletta, lies the picturesque Upper Barrakka Gardens, a garden once privately owned by the local Italian Knights and is now home to a beautiful array of statues, plaques, flora and fauna. With beautiful panoramic views of the harbour and Three Cities, it certainly sets the stage for an elegant evening affair whether you’re celebrating your next product launch or planning an incentive out on the docks.
The Blue Grotto
If it’s blue seas and maritime luxury you’re after, why not venture to the southern coast of Malta and explore the natural beauty of the island’s Blue Grotto. A chance to board a traditional Maltese boat (Dgħajsa or Luzzu), sail through the network of sea caves and watch in awe as the reflections from the clear azure waters dance on the cave walls before you, it’s an experience like no other. Often heralded as the top “must see” in Malta, it really is a natural wonder and a wonderful opportunity for attendees to head outside Malta’s city walls and marvel at the tranquil atmosphere and breath-taking natural beauty of Malta’s Mediterranean coast.
Fort St. Angelo
Steeped in history and overlooking the Grand Harbour, Fort St. Angelo is a captivating venue that offers a beautiful glimpse into Malta's deep-rooted past.

Whether it's a conference, an evening dinner, or a team-building activity, the combination of nature's beauty and historical grandeur makes this venue an unforgettable choice for any event.

Immerse yourself in the grandeur of the past while enjoying contemporary amenities and impeccable service.
Café Del Mar
A popular beach club located right on the water’s edge of St Paul's Bay, Café del Mar is often overlooked as a location for corporate events and incentives, but with its large terrace and views over the Mediterranean sea, it certainly makes for a stunning backdrop and unique venue for any type of celebration.
