Carabott Florist

Carabott Florist is a family business in Għaxaq with more than 60 years of experience in Malta and Gozo. The family grows many of its own flowers and plants locally, and imports exceptional flowers from the Netherlands, so the shop can offer both seasonal Maltese blooms and a wider international range.

If you are visiting Malta, living on the island or sending flowers from the UK, this is a straightforward place to order. You can see how it fits among the island's shops in our directory of florists in Malta, and our about Malta guide gives background on the islands.

What the florist offers

The shop is organised around six collections: splendid bouquets, plants, events and special occasions, funeral functions, village feasts and rose bouquets. Birthdays, engagements, weddings and anniversaries are all covered, and the florist has built a strong reputation for the annual calendar dates of Valentine's Day, Mother's Day and Father's Day. Flower arrangements can be paired with gifts such as soft toys or mugs.

If you cannot find what you have in mind in the online shop, the team makes personalised, tailor-made arrangements to suit the feelings you want to express. Flowers are looked after in modern, temperature-controlled cold rooms so that they arrive fresh, and seasonal flowers such as roses, orchids, hibiscus plants, tulips and daisies are grown by the family.

Events, village feasts and funerals

Event work is a speciality, so couples planning a wedding or a party can ask for floral decorations to set the right ambience. Our directory also lists event planners such as 242.group Malta offices if you need help with the wider arrangements.

The village feast collection is a distinctly Maltese one: parish feasts light up towns and villages in summer with decorations and fireworks, and the florist supplies flowers for the occasion. Funeral flowers can be ordered through the shop's funeral functions collection, and special deliveries to hospitals, offices, universities and other premises are made on request. For a trip to the old capital, our Mdina guide and Valletta guide are good starting points for planning your day.

Ordering and delivery

The online shop is processed securely by PayPal, and all prices shown include VAT. Delivery covers Malta and Gozo all year round, with free shipping on local orders over €30. When a date and time are not specified, deliveries are made within one to two working days, and the florist aims to deliver on the date and time you request. Orders are for flowers and plants as well as gift ideas, so you can complete a present in a single purchase.

Flowers can be sent to Gozo as well, which is useful if you are staying there; see our Gozo guide for ideas on the sister island. If you need help, the florist's own contact options cover ordering from the online shop, personalised arrangements, international deliveries and requests to be contacted about an order, so it is easy to explain what you need. For recipients abroad, the shop also arranges international deliveries, with delivery fees set according to the destination country, so you can mark a birthday or anniversary from a distance.

Using the florist as a UK visitor or new resident

A bouquet is a lovely way to welcome friends to a new home, so it also suits anyone following our Malta relocation guide, and holiday-makers can use it to surprise a host or celebrate a special occasion during one of our Malta holidays. Think about the season, too: the Malta weather guide shows when the island is at its most colourful, and things to do in Malta is useful for the rest of your visit.
