Autumn: The perfect time to visit Corinthia St. George’s Bay, Malta

The balmy months of autumn are arguably the best time to visit the Mediterranean island of Malta and its neighboring islands of Comino and Gozo. With a sub-tropical climate, autumn temperatures hover at a very respectable 65 degrees, making sightseeing and soaking up the rich culture the perfect pastime.

Well before the crowds gather to visit the Maltese capital, Valletta – it becomes European Capital of Culture in 2018 – an autumn visit to the Maltese islands would be hassle free and the Corinthia Hotel St. George’s Bay has an eclectic range of free activities on offer on weekdays to create the perfect autumnal break.

Monday: Watch a silversmith and filigree artisan Gaetano Saliba at work and create your own filigree masterpiece to take home for a small fee. Every Monday in the lobby, 4-10 pm.

Tuesday: Learn how to massage your partner at the hotel’s Apollo Spa. The complimentary, 45-minute learning experience highlights the basics of massage on the back, neck, and shoulders, and explains the importance of aromatherapy oils. Every Tuesday in The Apollo Spa at 9 am. Booking essential.

Wednesday: Let our chef show you how to make Hobs Biz-Zejt, the delicious Maltese snack made from sourdough bread and rubbed with tomato paste and drizzled with oil. Every Wednesday in the lobby at 4 pm.

Thursday: Take the energizing Tower to Tower walk. A two-hour ramble of discovery through Pembroke’s rugged coastline, old fortifications, towers, and barracks dating from the 17th century. Every Thursday at 2 pm. Booking essential, as is a good pair of walking shoes.

Friday: Slow the pace with a relaxing yoga class. Every Friday in the Apollo Day Spa at 8 am. Booking necessary.
