Yachting

Malta, the small Mediterranean archipelago, contains the most registered superyachts internationally. A destination that serves a contemporary blend of over 9,000 years of history and culture, it is one of the most compelling destinations for yachting. Malta offers secluded bays on sunny, warm waters for a perfect private and curated experience for a luxury traveler. Malta offers a wide range of marinas such as Msida Yacht Marina, Mgarr Harbour, and Vittoriosa Yacht Marina (which has been twinned with St. Tropez!). Malta approximates their coastline to be around 122 miles, seeping with hidden coves, limestone cliffs, and still waters. These wide range of marinas serve a tranquil gateway to move between Malta and its sister islands Gozo and Comino. Whether navigating its historic harbors or anchoring in a zen bay, the destination offers a refined yet authentic experience.

The Malta International Contemporary Art Space

Malta International Contemporary Art Space (MICAS) is Malta’s flagship destination for contemporary art. The museum is located within the newly restored 17th-century Floriana fortifications in the island’s capital, Valletta. This setting blends the new-age contemporary design with Maltese military history, showcasing itself as a historical capsule. The Museum galleries reach over 18 meters tall, holding a floating roof, outdoor sculptures and interactive exhibitions for a distinctive and curated experience to interact with Malta’s history. MICAS has stood as a platform for artists to stage their exhibitions and showcase their works, crafting a space between old and new history in the archipelago.
