Beaches and Resorts

The coastline of the South Eastern Region is defined by its rocky coves and crystal-clear turquoise waters, which are perfect for swimming and snorkelling. While the region is famous for its history, you are never far from the water. Many travellers choose to base themselves in the vibrant capital of Valletta, where the historic fortifications meet the sea, before taking short trips to explore quieter coastal spots nearby.

Who This Destination Suits

The South Eastern Region is particularly well-suited to couples looking for a romantic setting and families who appreciate a destination that is easy to navigate.
