Springtime Sunshine | All-Inclusive Easter Weekend in Malta

Apr 2 2026 - Apr 6 2026

 

Join Army Outdoor Recreation for a captivating journey to the sun-drenched islands of Malta, a Mediterranean gem renowned for its ancient history, charming towns, and incredible water adventures. With comfortable average temperatures near 70 degrees, April is one of the best months to visit Malta.

Based out of the inviting 4-star San Antonio Hotel and Spa, you will spend Easter Weekend nestled in the vibrant heart of St. Paul's Bay, one of Malta's most inviting leisure and entertainment zones. From this prime location, you're just a short walk to the Bugibba promenade which stretches from the Maltese National Aquarium, past Bugibba Perched Beach, and all the way to Bugibba Bay Square. You are sure to enjoy the convenience and comfort of the resort's all-inclusive meals and beverages package, ensuring a worry-free holiday. 

While your visit coincides with Easter Weekend, and offers you a unique glimpse into the island's rich traditions and beautiful holiday processions, there's so much more to experience! You are sure to delight in Malta's famed aquatic playground, whether SCUBA diving on one of Malta's world-class dive sites, sea-kayaking in crystal-clear coves, or by taking a boat cruise to Comino's iconic Blue Lagoon. Explore historic cities, charming villages, or simply soak up the glorious Mediterranean sunshine.

With over 300 days of sunshine annually, Malta promises a bright and engaging spring getaway. Reserve your space today with Army Outdoor Recreation in either Kaiserslautern or Baumholder, and get ready to uncover all the wonders awaiting you in the sunny islands!

This afternoon, you'll arrive in St. Paul's Bay, where you will check into a 4-star all-inclusive resort.

All you need to do is relax and enjoy Easter Weekend in Malta.

Friday: Free Day

Easter Weekend in the Maltese archipelago is truly special. With average daily temperatures hovering around 70 degrees, the island blooms. While some shops and businesses might observe holiday closures today, the Maltese people are known for their unique holiday traditions that fill the air with excitement during this festive period. Expect to see lively parades and elaborate costumed processions, with one of the most stunning taking place in Valletta, the capital of the Maltese Islands.

Saturday: Free Day

Malta truly shines in the spring. Beyond the pleasant temperatures, its clear blue waters beckon. Though the water might be a bit cool for bikinis, it's perfect for wetsuits, making it ideal for underwater explorations. Renowned as a world-class SCUBA destination, Malta offers countless ways to experience its stunning beaches and azure waters. You can dive into crystal-clear coves, venture into sea caves by kayak, or take a leisurely boat cruise to the famed Blue Lagoon, where the vibrant turquoise waters are a breathtaking sight. As evening approaches, the islands continue their festive spirit with various events.

Easter Sunday: Free Day

Easter Sunday in Malta marks a vibrant shift to celebration, offering a captivating experience for visitors. The morning is filled with energetic parades, notably those featuring the "Risen Christ," where statues are swiftly carried through the streets to the cheers of enthusiastic crowds. These joyful processions, often accompanied by brass bands, provide a unique cultural spectacle. Beyond these captivating events, the day is perfect for exploring Malta's diverse offerings. Consider a day trip to the charming island of Gozo, known for its tranquil pace and rugged landscapes, or delve into the ancient city of Rabat, home to St. Paul's Catacombs and the stunning Mdina Cathedral. Many of Malta's cultural sites and attractions are open, making it an excellent day to delve into the island's rich history and natural beauty.

Monday: Return to Germany

Your return flight departs in the evening, giving you one last opportunity to savor Bugibba and St. Paul’s Bay. While some businesses may remain closed today, Malta’s beautiful beaches are always open.
