Popular all-inclusive jollies in Malta

Let's just say...this lot are popular for a reason. Snap one of these jollies up, and you'll be lounging poolside with a cocktail in hand, soaking up all that toasty Maltese sunshine. And the only decision you'll need to worry about? Whether to go for seconds at the buffet or go for a stroll along the gorg coastline. (Correct answer: both.) That's the magic of an all-inclusive Malta holibobs! It's not just a holiday; it's the ultimate escape from reality. No cooking, no cleaning, and definitely no worrying. You'll have your food, drinks and entertainment all sorted - all you've got to do is show up with your swimwear, flip-flops and SPF!

Malta's all-inclusive resorts cluster in three areas: the family-resort strip from Mellieha Bay down through St Paul's Bay, Qawra and Bugibba, and the more nightlife-leaning mid-range and luxury hotels around St Julians and Sliema. Most properties run a standard all-inclusive package covering buffet meals, local drinks and soft drinks, with the better hotels adding à la carte restaurants, themed dining nights, premium spirits and airport transfers under an All-Inclusive Plus or Premium upgrade.

Bringing the kiddos along? Not a problem. You can rest easy knowing there's loads to keep them busy in Malta. From splashtastic waterparks to action-packed kids' clubs and treasure hunts around the city, it's non-stop fun. So, what're you waiting for? Get ready to bask in the sun, chow down on delish local treats, and make some memories that'll last a lifetime on your next sizzling escape to Malta.

All-inclusive couples' getaways to Malta

Malta works for couples because the island delivers on three different couples-holiday styles without forcing a choice between them. Beach-and-pool couples lean towards the mid-range and luxury all-inclusive resorts in Mellieha and around St Paul's Bay, with private lidos, adults-only pool decks and beachfront sundowners built in. Sightseeing couples are better served by the Sliema and St Julians hotels, walking distance to the Valletta ferry and easy bus links to Mdina, the Three Cities and the south coast fishing villages.

Active or adventurous couples get the best of both worlds. Diving and snorkelling are world-class in Maltese waters, with charters running from most coastal hotels. Ten-minute boat hops from Cirkewwa drop you at Comino's Blue Lagoon for a full day on the water. Walking the Dingli Cliffs at sunset and dinner in the medina at Mdina afterwards is one of the better Malta evenings. And from any all-inclusive base, a Gozo day trip is an easy ferry ride.

Long story short...no matter what kind of couple you are, Malta's got something for everyone. So, when it comes to your 2026, or 2027 holiday plans, consider them sorted. Who wouldn't want to make memories on this gorg island? Go on, book it. You deserve it.

Family holidays to Malta with everything included

Malta's like one big playground for the kids and the big kids. And by big kids, yes - we mean you. Whether your little ones are diving into all the fun and games that the on-site kids' club has to offer, splashing around in the pool, or hunting for their next scoop of ice-cream (which, by the way, is on tap all day long when you go all-inclusive) - there's loads to keep them happy. Oh, and while all that's happening, you can sneak off for some well-deserved 'you' time. How does a relaxing spa sesh sound? Or sipping a cold beer by the pool while the sun does its thing? And just as the sun starts to dip down, you can hit the late-night bars and toast to another day in paradise. The absolute dream.

It's not just the fun and games that make Malta a top pick for a family holibobs, though. It's the whole package! Especially when you throw in our flexible payment options that make it easier than ever to plan your next all-inclusive break. So, not only are you looking at a family jolly filled with sun, sea and endless scoops of ice cream, but you're also getting it all at a price that'll have you channelling this emoji: 😍 Talk about a sweet deal!

Oh, and with everything sorted from the moment you step off the plane, your biggest worry will be deciding which poolside snack to try next. Your next family holiday? Shaping up to be a proper good one, if you go for one of these showstoppers.

Group all-inclusive holidays to Malta

Malta's a brilliant short-haul Groups destination because the all-inclusive package answers most of the standard groups-trip arguments before they start. Drinks are sorted at the resort, food's sorted at the resort, evening entertainment's sorted at the resort, so the only daily decision is whether you want to stay put for the bar or head into St Julians' for the nightlife.

Best Groups bases for all-inclusive:

🍻 St Julians is the nightlife capital, Paceville's clubs, late-bars and casinos are walkable from any St Julians hotel, and the all-inclusive properties in the area pitch themselves at adults rather than families. Strong fit for hen and stag groups who want the pre-night drinks at the hotel and the clubs five minutes away.

🏖️ Bugibba and Qawra are the value-Groups picks. Quieter than Paceville but with their own bar strip, plenty of all-inclusive resorts at the budget end of the scale, easy bus links if you want to head to St Julians for a big night. Cost-splitting on twin rooms keeps per-person prices low.

🌅 Sliema is the more upmarket Groups option. Seafront promenade walks, mid-range and 4-star all-inclusive hotels with rooftop pools and spas, easy ferry to Valletta for daytime sightseeing, and a 10-minute taxi or bus to St Julians if the group fancies a Paceville night.

The all-inclusive Plus packages at the bigger resorts (db Seabank in Mellieha, the Riu Seabank, Marriott in St Julians) often include branded spirits, late-bar access and lounges, which is the realistic upgrade for groups planning to drink properly across a week. Worth checking the specific inclusions before booking, the basic all-inclusive packages can mean house wine and basic spirits only.

Obviously individual mileage may vary, but generally, Malta's all-inclusive resorts are proper good value, especially when you factor in how much you'd normally spend on cocktails (and trust us, in our case, that's loads). You'll be living like royalty without constantly checking your wallet every five minutes. Plus, with everything sorted - meals, drinks, entertainment - you can focus on what really matters: perfecting your poolside tan and deciding whether to hit the buffet again or explore those stunning Insta-worthy beaches.

Pretty much everything! Your flights, accommodation, all meals (including those midnight snacks you definitely deserve), local and international drinks, plus loads of activities and entertainment. Most resorts throw in water sports, kids' clubs, evening shows, and access to pools, gyms, and spas. Basically, once you've checked in, your biggest decision will be whether to go for seconds at dinner or thirds at the poolside bar. The only thing we don't provide is someone to rub suncream into your back.

Four areas stand out, each suited to a different trip type.

St Paul's Bay, Qawra and Bugibba along the north-east coast carry the deepest selection of all-inclusive resorts at value-friendly price points, plus an aquarium, restaurants and bars on the seafront.

Mellieha is the family-and-couples pick, opposite Malta's biggest sandy beach with a relaxed village vibe.

Sliema suits sightseeing-led couples, with the Valletta ferry and seafront promenade walks.

St Julians is the nightlife base, with Paceville's clubs and bars walkable from most hotels.

Here's the beauty of going all-inclusive - you technically only need pocket money for airport transfers and any souvenirs you fancy. Most folks bring around €20-30 per day for things like excursions, shopping trips to Valletta, or that extra special cocktail at a beach bar. If you want to explore historical sites like the stunning Mdina or take a ferry to gorgeous Gozo, budget a bit extra for entry fees and transport. But honestly, with everything included at your resort, you'll be surprised how little you actually spend.

Malta's blessed with over 300 days of sunshine per year - absolute dream weather for lounging by the pool! Summer (June-September) is properly hot and brilliant for beach days, with temps around 28-32°C. The sea's lovely and warm for swimming too. Spring and autumn are gorgeous - warm enough for sunbathing but not so scorching that you melt. Even winter's mild compared to the weather back home, making Malta a year-round all-inclusive winner.

Maltese all-inclusive buffets are a Mediterranean-meets-Italian mix with a strong local food angle. Standard staples include lampuki (local fish), pastizzi (savoury pastries with ricotta or peas), rabbit stew (Malta's national dish), local sausages, fresh salads, and an Italian-leaning pasta and pizza station at most properties.

Mid-to-premium resorts run themed restaurants alongside the main buffet (Italian, Asian, Maltese, Brazilian, sometimes Mediterranean fine-dining), usually included on Plus packages. Quality varies between properties, the standard 3-star buffet can lean basic, the better 4 and 5-star resorts deliver genuinely strong food.

Several. The Riviera Spa Resort in Mellieha, Barcelo Fortina in Sliema, and the H Hotel & Spa in St Julians all run adults-only all-inclusive packages with a couples-and-mates skew. Plus, several family-friendly resorts run adults-only pool decks within the main hotel, the Plus tiers at db Seabank and similar properties give you adults-only swim-up bars and exclusive sun-loungers without going fully adults-only.

The Plus or Premium tier varies by hotel but typically adds branded spirits (Bombay, Bacardi, Johnnie Walker Black instead of basic house spirits), included access to à la carte themed restaurants (Italian, Asian, Brazilian rather than buffet-only), exclusive lounges with separate bars and quieter sun-decks, and sometimes airport transfers. The upgrade is usually £15 to £40 per person per night depending on the property. Worth it for groups planning to drink properly across a week or couples wanting variety beyond the buffet, less essential if you're happy with house wine and the main restaurant.

What "all-inclusive" actually means at a Malta resort

All-inclusive in Malta varies more between hotels than people often realise. The standard package at most properties is solid, but the gap between "standard" and "Plus" or "Premium" is significant, and worth understanding before you book.

🍽️ The standard all-inclusive baseline

What you can expect at almost any 3 or 4-star all-inclusive Malta resort:

🥗 Buffet meals, breakfast, lunch and dinner. Maltese resorts usually run a strong main buffet with international cuisine plus local Maltese specialities (lampuki, pastizzi, rabbit stew on rotation), a salad station, kids' options and a dessert spread.
🍺 Local drinks, house wine (white, red, rosé), Cisk and other local lagers, basic spirits (vodka, gin, rum, whisky), a selection of cocktails (usually 4-6 standards: mojito, piña colada, daiquiri, sex on the beach), and unlimited soft drinks, water, tea and coffee. Most pool bars run from around 10am to midnight.
🏊 Pool and beach access, sun loungers and parasols at no extra cost, plus the hotel's outdoor and indoor pools (where applicable).
🎤 Evening entertainment programme, themed nights, live music, dance shows and bingo, depending on the property.

🥂 What All-Inclusive Plus / Premium adds

The bigger Maltese resorts (db Seabank, Riu Seabank, Marriott, AX Sunny Coast) run an upgrade tier branded as All-Inclusive Plus, Premium or Royal:

✨ Branded spirits (Bombay, Bacardi, Smirnoff, Johnnie Walker Black) replace the basic house spirits.
🍴 À la carte restaurants (Italian, Asian, Brazilian, Maltese) are included rather than charged per visit. Bookings usually required.
🛏️ Exclusive lounges with a separate bar, snacks through the day, and a quieter sun-deck. Wristband entry.
✈️ Airport transfers included on some packages, worth checking, this can knock a chunk off your transfer cost.
🍷 Better wine selection by the glass and at dinner, sometimes including Champagne or Prosecco at peak hours.

❌ What's usually extra (even on Plus packages)

Plenty of stuff still comes with a separate charge. Worth knowing before you arrive so the bill doesn't surprise you:

💆 Spa treatments (massage, facials, hammam) are almost always extra, even at hotels with a spa included as a facility.
🚤 Motorised watersports (jet skis, banana boats, parasailing). Snorkelling kit and kayaks are sometimes included, sometimes not, check the specific hotel.
⛵ Excursions and day trips (Gozo, Comino, Blue Grotto boat trips, Mdina tours). These are booked separately.
🥃 Premium spirits and Champagne beyond the included list. Top-shelf bottles and vintage wines are à la carte, reserve a healthy budget for these.
📺 Sometimes the minibar. Some resorts include the minibar in the package, others charge per item, this is a hotel-specific quirk worth checking.

The basic principle: the standard package gives you a properly relaxing all-inclusive at a Malta resort, and the Plus tier adds variety and quality if you want to drink branded spirits, eat à la carte, and skip the buffet a couple of nights. Both work, the choice comes down to the trip you want.
