With the coldest days already behind us, March heralds the beginning of spring, with warmer temperatures, longer hours of sunlight and increased greenery throughout the islands. Malta in spring emerges as one of the best times to visit. Whether you’re a local rediscovering your home or a traveller seeking sunshine, flowers, and culture – Malta spring has something for everyone.
Here are five reasons why visiting spring Malta should be on your travel list this year.
Perfect spring weather in Malta
Generally, most of what we consider ‘bad weather’ is gone by the end of February, and March heralds the beginning of the new season – warmer temperatures, longer days, and blooming greenery. Everywhere is probably as green as it’s ever going to get, especially around the northern areas of the island, whereas the sea is much calmer making it the ideal for romantic picnics on the beach, or paced walks along the promenade.
The Mediterranean Sea also begins to calm, making spring ideal for picnics on the beach, scenic walks along the promenade, or relaxed afternoons at coastal cafés. Looking to enjoy nature at its best? Visit six beautiful gardens in Malta where spring flowers bloom in full colour.

For nature lovers and hikers, this is prime season to check out Malta’s top 5 stunning hikes, from cliffside views at Dingli to countryside trails in Mellieħa.

The spring air and calm atmosphere make everything feel just a little more magical.
Spring events and festivals
Following their brief hibernation, the locals are known to come out to play once the spring kicks in. With so many things to look forward to, it’s pretty easy to see why. From the numerous art and music festivals that trickle into the summer, including the legendary Isle of MTV party that is held in Malta every year and is considered Europe’s largest free party.
Breathtaking springtime skies
If you’re ever awake early enough to catch the sunrise, or around late afternoon in time for sunset, you can’t help but look up and admire the gorgeous vanilla sky that tends to sprawl across the islands. Glistening with deep shades of red and faint pinks and purples, this is a view you definitely don’t want to miss. And if you happen to be staying at Verdi St. George’s Bay Marina, make it a point to look out of your terrace at sunrise and have your GoPro ready – if you haven’t got one, you can borrow one of ours at no extra charge.
