With the Mediterranean archipelago benefiting from pleasant temperatures and bountiful sunshine nearly all year round, Malta holidays can provide you with plenty of opportunity to lie on the beach and top up your tan.
However, that's not to say that you should spend your entire holiday to Malta sunbathing.
With a wide range of activities and attractions away from spending time on the golden sands, you will discover that a holiday here offers something that will cater to your interests.
And this will certainly prove to be the case if you like finding out more about local history and culture while on vacation.
Visiting the country's Megalithic Temples could provide you with an insight into ancient Maltese life.
These seven structures - five of which are located on the island of Malta, with the other two situated in Gozo, the most northerly isle - date back as far as 5000 BC.
Said to be the oldest freestanding temples in the entire world, you will be able to look at their ornate decorations and learn more about how the tradition of constructing temples has been passed along generations of Maltese people.
The ancient temples have Unesco World Heritage Site status, however as only a limited number of tourists are allowed to visit them at any one time, you may want to make sure you arrive early so you are guaranteed to have the chance to explore.
For a further insight into Maltese history, be sure to stop by the Hal Saflieni Hypogeum in Paola.
This vast underground network of caverns and chambers dates back to 2500 BC and was accidentally discovered by a stonemason in 1902.
Like the Megalithic Temples, the Hal Saflieni Hypogeum enjoys Unesco World Heritage Site status so a visit here can certainly make for a captivating experience.
Should you be keen to get a little fresh air and exercise, you may want to consider hiring a bike and exploring Malta by two wheels.
While riding along you will be able to see some stunning views of the countryside.
If you prefer four-wheeled transport, however, then make sure you visit the Malta Classic Car Museum.
Here you can see a range of vintage cars and motorbikes, as well as automobile memorabilia and model vehicles.
There is also a cinema and gift shop.
However, if all that has worked up an appetite than be sure to indulge in some of Malta's fantastic food and drink.
The country's cuisine draws influences from across the world, in part due to a number of other nations to have occupied the islands over the years, so you might want to sample local specialises such as kapunata - a Maltese version of ratatouille - and pastizzi.
A range of wines are produced in Malta, so you may want to take a tour of some its vineyards to find out how your favourite vintages are made.
Holidays here offer you so many things to see and do, so be sure to spend some time away from the beach and check them out!
