This summer, the Mediterranean is closer than ever. A brand-new direct route between Malaga and Malta, operated by KM Malta Airlines, is putting one of Europe’s most captivating island escapes firmly on the map for Costa del Sol travellers.
With two weekly flights on Wednesdays and Sundays, travelling from Malaga to Malta is now refreshingly simple. No stopovers, no wasted time, just a smooth hop across the sea and straight into holiday mode, allowing you to make the most of every day in a destination that truly has it all.
And what’s waiting on the other side? A destination that manages to pack centuries of history, stunning coastlines and a buzzing summer atmosphere into one compact island. Its cities, such as Valletta, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, invite you to wander through charming streets filled with history, centuries-old fortifications and stunning sea views.
Just a short distance away, places like Mdina, the ‘Silent City’, transport you back in time with their medieval atmosphere and timeless charm. But Malta isn’t just about history.
It’s made for long, sun-soaked days by the water. Think crystal-clear seas, hidden coves and postcard-perfect spots like the Blue Lagoon, where the colours look almost unreal. Whether you’re into snorkelling, diving or simply switching off with a view, it delivers.
Add to that a food scene shaped by Mediterranean, Italian and British influences, plus a packed calendar of festivals, open-air concerts and seaside dining, and you’ve got a destination that feels alive from morning to night.
With this new direct connection, Malta becomes an easy, exciting escape from Malaga – close enough for a spontaneous trip, yet different enough to feel like a real adventure.
This summer, skip the usual and head somewhere with stories to tell. Malta is ready when you are.
