Decathlon Malta

Decathlon Qormi is the Qormi store of Decathlon Malta, the island's branch of the sports retailer that designs and sells its own equipment alongside well-known outside brands. For UK visitors it is a handy place to pick up swimwear, walking shoes, a beach towel or a tent without paying holiday-resort prices, and for residents it is a one-stop shop for almost any sport. On VisitMalta.co.uk it appears in our shoe shops in Malta and sports shops in Malta directories.

What the store sells

The Decathlon Malta website covers women's, men's and children's clothing, footwear, bags and accessories, plus equipment for a very wide list of sports. Categories run from running, walking, cycling and fitness to swimming, snorkelling, stand-up paddle boarding, kayaking, sailing, football, tennis, padel and golf. Footwear includes hiking boots, trainers, sports shoes, sneakers and aqua shoes.

Outdoor gear is a strength. The camping range, designed under the Quechua name, includes family and trekking tents, sleeping bags and mattresses, chairs, hammocks, stoves, coolers and lighting. Examples on the site include a 3-person MH100 tent at €69.99 and a 4-person Arpenaz 4.1 Fresh & Black tent at €189.99. Prices change, so check the current figure before you plan a purchase.

There is also a health and recovery range covering massagers, joint supports, first aid and sports nutrition, with brands such as Optimum Nutrition and Powerbar on the nutrition side.

The range also takes in sports that are less obvious on a Mediterranean island, including skiing and snowboard equipment, which UK readers heading to the Alps may find useful, as well as martial arts, dance, climbing, scuba diving and freediving gear.

Click and collect, delivery and returns

Orders placed on the Decathlon Malta website can be collected free from the Qormi or San Ġorġ stores, with a stated time of within two hours. Delivery to an address in Malta and Gozo is also available, and standard orders up to 29kg over €100 qualify for free delivery.

Account holders get 365 days to return or exchange unused online orders, and products carry a two year guarantee. The workshop looks after maintenance and repair, covering bicycle servicing, tent repairs and racket stringing, which suits cyclists and campers who live on the island.

Decathlon Account holders also gain membership benefits through the free Decathlon Club, and can follow online and in-store purchases from one account. Payment options on the website include Visa, Mastercard, Apple Pay, PayPal and the Decathlon gift card.

Shopping for a Malta holiday

Malta's climate suits the kit Decathlon stocks. The shop's range includes swimwear for adults and children, beach accessories, sunglasses, caps and hats, towels and travel bags, and its water sports lines cover snorkelling, stand-up paddle boarding and kayaking. Walkers can look at hiking boots and lightweight jackets, and there are waterproofs for the wetter months. Our Malta weather guide shows what to expect month by month, which helps when deciding what to buy before you fly or after you land.

Children are catered for as well, with a kids' section that covers baby and toddler wear, children's bikes, swimwear and sports equipment. Families often use the store to replace items forgotten at home, such as swim shoes, rucksacks or a picnic blanket for the beach.

Opening hours and the Qormi location

The Qormi store is open Monday to Saturday from 9am to 8pm and on Sundays from 9am to 7pm. The directory lists the address as Triq it-Tigrija on the Marsa side of Qormi. The website does not give a street address for the store itself, so confirm the entrance and parking before you set out.

Decathlon Malta's other store at San Ġorġ keeps different hours, with later closing on Friday to Sunday, and there is a separate business team for corporate orders. If you are planning beach days, our guide to the best beaches in Malta will help you decide what to pack, and our things to do in Malta page suggests activities that need kit.

Asking the store a question

Useful details to include are the product you want, your size, the dates you will be on the island and whether you plan to collect in store. Companies that want to equip a team can mention it too, because Decathlon Malta has a corporate team for B2B orders. Use the VisitMalta.co.uk enquiry form on this page and we will pass your message to Decathlon Malta.
