Say ‘I do’ to one of our Malta weddings
You can match your bridesmaids’ dresses to pearly white cliffsides and rugged, ivory shorelines when you get married on this tiny island south of Italy, which basks in sunshine around 300 days a year.
We’ve got hotel venues plotted around Malta’s rocky north and east coasts, lots of which are close enough to the water to hear the waves while you’re swapping rings. Plus, you can even tie the knot right on the sand, so every at-the-altar pic features the Mediterranean Sea.
Planning on sticking around after the big day? Even better. Spend your honeymoon here, and you can stay in the newlywed bubble while wandering old town streets and UNESCO-listed sites. Or, simply stretch out on a nearby beach to turn that wedding glow into a just-married tan.

Where you can get married in Malta
Mellieha Bay
There’s a clue in the name with this spot on Malta’s north coast, which locals often call Ghadira Bay. It’s the island’s biggest sandy sweep, so you can go for extra-long walks on the beach after saying yes to forever with your beau. And it’s one of the best places to watch the sunset, which guarantees golden hour snaps for your wedding album. It’s little wonder that Mellieha Bay weddings are so popular with brides and grooms to be…
Bugibba
Bugibba might ring a (wedding) bell if you’re familiar with Malta’s party scene. This bustling nightlife hotspot on the island’s north-east coast provides an ideal ring-swapping setting for couples who are always the last people on the dancefloor. Picture a bar-lined promenade leading to a manmade beach, which lines up watersports for your honeymoon. Because what says ‘just married’ like jet-skiing across the Mediterranean Sea?
Sliema
Sliema weddings will have you saying your vows on Malta’s cosmopolitan east coast, just across the road (or water) from Malta’s capital, Valletta. Head to this fortified city for hand-held strolls around old town streets when the big day’s done and dusted. Or, sail off into the sunset on a trip to Comino – the teeny island between Malta and Gozo, where you can debut your honeymoon swimwear on a dip in the Blue Lagoon.
