Private access, culture and the outdoors in Malta

Colours of Malta arranges private access to historic sites, time with local craftspeople, and outdoor activities across Malta and Gozo.

We design each experience around the group, and handle the logistics, safety and support.

We work to sustainable-tourism principles, with support around the clock while your group is here.

Custom designed

We design each excursion around your group’s theme, pace and interests.

VIP and exclusive

We can arrange access to places that are usually closed to the public, such as an art gallery after hours or private visits to museums and vineyards. We also arrange workshops with master artisans, cooking classes with well-known chefs and days on a private yacht.

Cultural immersions

We work with artisans who still practise traditional crafts, including salt harvesting, lace making, nougat, filigree and weaving. Guests can visit them at work, and their pieces make gifts.

Historical exploration

Private guided tours of significant archaeological sites, historical palaces, forts, and after-hours access or special permits to explore areas usually off-limits to the public.

Engage with nature

Outdoor activities across the islands include kayaking with a marine biologist, guided hikes, snorkelling and mountain biking.
