Malta Nightlife Guide
Paceville starts at midnight. The rest of Malta starts at sunset. Both are worth staying up for.
Malta Nightlife Guide -- the complete guide for UK visitors. Malta offers 300 days of sunshine per year, direct 3-hour flights from London with KM Malta Airlines, three UNESCO World Heritage Sites, crystal-clear Mediterranean waters, and an English-speaking culture that makes it uniquely accessible for British travellers.
Why Malta for UK Visitors
Malta's combination of English language, Mediterranean climate, direct flights and EU membership makes it the most accessible overseas destination for UK travellers. The island packs extraordinary historical density, world-class diving, legendary beaches and a genuinely sophisticated food and nightlife scene into 316 square kilometres -- smaller than the Isle of Wight. Three UNESCO World Heritage Sites, prehistoric temples older than Stonehenge, a baroque capital city of extraordinary beauty, and the clearest water in the Mediterranean are all within a 45-minute drive of each other.
