Experiencing the heartbeat of Malta: Unveiling the magic of Festa celebrations 

By Hotel Information, Malta Information No Comments

When you’re in Malta, you’re not just in a destination; you’re in the midst of living history. One of the most vibrant and authentic ways to immerse yourself in the island’s rich culture is by joining in on a traditional Maltese festa. These celebrations are more than just events – they’re a window into the heart and soul of the Maltese people, a chance to witness their fervor for traditions, music, food, and community. 

What is a Festa? 

A festa is a local feast dedicated to a patron saint, and it’s a quintessential Maltese experience. Imagine vibrant processions, ornate statues of saints, captivating fireworks, lively bands, and of course, an overwhelming sense of camaraderie. Festas are a fusion of religious devotion and joyful celebration, often involving the entire village or town. 

How to Experience the True Maltese Spirit 

  • Mark your calendar: Festas are scattered throughout the Maltese calendar, each dedicated to a specific saint. The schedule can be found here.
  • Witness the processions: The heart of the festa lies in the processions. Saints’ statues, adorned with intricate decorations, are carried through the streets. It’s a sight to behold as locals proudly participate and accompany the procession. 
  • Savor traditional delights: No festa is complete without food! Local delicacies are prepared, and street vendors offer a variety of treats. From pastizzi to imqaret, indulge in authentic Maltese flavors. 
  • Join the festivities: As the sun sets, the celebrations take on a new energy. Live music, dancing, and even traditional games fill the air with excitement. Don’t hesitate to join in the merriment! 
  • Witness the fireworks: Fireworks are a highlight of any festa. Prepare to be amazed by the spectacular displays that light up the night sky in a burst of colors and patterns. 
  • Capture the moments: Don’t forget your camera! Festas offer countless photo opportunities – from the vibrant processions to the mesmerizing fireworks. 

A festa isn’t just an event; it’s an invitation to become a part of something greater – the heartbeat of Malta. It’s a chance to experience the island’s deep-rooted traditions, connect with the locals, and create memories that will stay with you forever. 

So, when you’re at Urban Valley Resort & Spa, consider joining in on a festa celebration.

Your ultimate guide to prepare for your first visit to Malta 

By Hotel Information, Malta Information No Comments

Welcome to the enchanting island of Malta, a Mediterranean gem known for its rich history, stunning landscapes, and warm hospitality. As a guest of Urban Valley Resort & Spa, we want to ensure that your first visit to Malta is as smooth and enjoyable as possible. Here are some practical tips to help you make the most of your stay. 

Travel documents and currency

Ensure your passport is valid for at least six months from your planned departure date. Malta uses the Euro (EUR) as its currency, so it’s a good idea to have some local currency on hand for small expenses. 

Weather and packing

Malta enjoys a Mediterranean climate, so pack light clothing for the warm summers and layer up for the mild winters. Don’t forget your swimsuit, sunscreen, sunglasses, and a hat for those sunny beach days. 

Language and communication

Maltese is the official languages of Malta, and English is widely spoken. You’ll have no trouble communicating with locals and navigating the island. 

Transportation

Public transportation in Malta is efficient and affordable. Buses are a popular way to get around, and the recently introduced electric scooters and bikes offer a fun and eco-friendly way to explore. Taxi services such as Bolt, E-cabs or Uber are a great alternative to get around quickly.

Safety and health

Malta is generally safe for travellers. Make sure you have travel insurance to cover any unexpected incidents. It’s also a good idea to carry a basic first aid kit and any necessary medications. 

Local customs and etiquette

Malta is a conservative and family-oriented society. When visiting churches and religious sites, it is advised to dress modestly. Many religious places ask you to cover your shoulders and knees.

Cuisine and dining

Don’t miss the chance to savor traditional Maltese dishes like pastizzi (savory pastries) and rabbit stew. You’ll find a variety of international cuisines in restaurants across the island. 

Sightseeing and activities

Plan your itinerary to explore Malta’s historic sites, including the UNESCO-listed Valletta, the ancient city of Mdina, and the awe-inspiring Ħal Saflieni Hypogeum. For outdoor enthusiasts, the Blue Grotto and the Blue Hole are must-visit attractions. 

Electrical outlets

Malta uses Type G electrical outlets, so make sure to bring the necessary adapters for your devices. At Urban Valley Resort & Spa, we have USB outlets, type G outlets, and type C outlets in the rooms.

Emergency numbers

Keep the local emergency number handy: 112 for general emergencies. 

Your first visit to Malta promises unforgettable experiences and cherished memories. With these practical tips, you’ll be well-prepared to immerse yourself in the island’s beauty, culture, and warm hospitality. At Urban Valley Resort & Spa, we’re excited to welcome you to this captivating destination and provide you with a comfortable and memorable stay. Safe travels and enjoy your time in Malta!
