WINTER AT RAMLA
Malta may be a wonderful Mediterranean island but we still have a winter season, and you can expect temperatures to be cooler between November and April. Climate wise, temperatures can dip to 6 or 7 degrees, and it’s best to pack warm clothes and a hardy coat.
That said, winter is actually an absolutely fantastic time to visit Malta. The island is greener, and there is a lot to do, both within the Ramla Bay Resort and outside it. For instance, it is the ideal season to discover our spa and indoor pools (which are heated at this time of year), as well as the many restaurants here that are open all year round. Our outdoor facilities which include the adults outdoor pool, the two family outdoor pools and the kids outdoor pool, together with our beach are not in operation during this period, however one can still enjoy our outdoor jacuzzi at our award winning Spa, weather permitting.
It is also the perfect season to explore Malta’s great outdoors. The Ramla Bay Resort is surrounded by some of the most beautiful countryside anywhere in the country, so it’s well positioned for long walks, hikes, picnics and day trips over to the sister islands of Gozo and Comino.
Unforgettable Winter Experiences in Malta
CHRISTMAS MAGIC
The festive season in Malta is a dazzling spectacle, with twinkling lights, beautifully decorated streets, and a heart warming atmosphere. Experience traditional choral performances, enchanting nativity scenes, and midnight church ceremonies. Just a short ferry ride away, Gozo’s famous live nativity village brings the Christmas story to life with incredible detail and authenticity.
SCENIC WINTER WALKS
Escape the crowds and immerse yourself in Malta’s breath taking countryside. From Ramla Bay, enjoy a stunning walk to the charming village of Mellieħa, following peaceful country roads with panoramic views of the rugged coastline. Winter’s mild temperatures make it the perfect season for exploring hidden trails, dramatic cliffs, and untouched natural beauty.
A JOURNEY THROUGH TIME
Malta is a living museum, brimming with ancient temples, grand palaces, and medieval fortifications. Hop on a bus to Valletta (45 minutes away) and lose yourself in history at sites like the Grandmaster’s Palace, the National Museum of Archaeology, and the walled city of Mdina, where every cobbled street whispers stories of the past.
CULTURE & THEATRE
Winter is peak season for Malta’s vibrant performing arts scene. From opera and musicals to thought-provoking dramas and classical concerts, there’s always a show to enjoy. The stunning Manoel Theatre in Valletta, one of Europe’s oldest theatres, is a must-visit for an evening of world-class entertainment.
YEAR ROUND SCUBA DIVING
Malta’s crystal-clear waters remain inviting even in winter, making it a top diving destination year-round. Our on-site dive centre makes it easy for you to explore the island’s spectacular underwater world, whether you’re a beginner looking for a try-dive or an experienced diver ready to take on caverns, wrecks, and vibrant marine life.
