Cheap flights, empty attractions, December swimming and Blue Lagoon to yourself. What tourists have discovered about winter Malta.
In December 2025, Mariusz posted a single photo to a Polish Malta travel group: turquoise water, white rocks, sunshine, zero people. Caption: "Blue Lagoon, 22nd December — swim completed, obviously." 105 reactions. That many people sighed with envy or decided they'd do the same.
Malta sits at the same latitude as Algeria and Tunisia. There is no winter here — just a Maltese autumn.
For comparison: July–August brings 35–38°C, crowds and prices 2–3× higher. In August Valletta, 300 metres of street can take an hour to walk — everyone queuing for the same sights.
St. John's Co-Cathedral in Valletta: summer queue 40+ minutes. Winter: walk straight in. Fort St. Elmo, Mdina, Blue Grotto, the Hypogeum — empty everywhere. Photos without strangers in the background. Time to actually look at the Caravaggio without an elbow in your face.
Summer: 20–30 tourist boats, hundreds of people on the rocks. Winter: you arrive and have the place practically to yourself. Water temperature around 16°C — cool, but just as turquoise.
