While there may be more to explore in Malta, the archipelago is home to a host of relaxing, rejuvenating and revitalising activities designed to help your clients restore their balance
Whether a client is seeking the soothing simmers of a Jacuzzi, the salty breeze of a coastal walk or the mental release of an invigorating yoga session, Malta’s many wellness experiences are diverse and, even better, only a three-hour flight away from the UK. Spa hotels provide the perfect base to treat mind and body, with calming massages and moisturising skin treatments making an ideal accompaniment to the archipelago’s outdoor experiences such as hiking, cycling and water-based sports like free diving, scuba diving and sea swimming or snorkelling.
Malta’s wellness-focused activities are made even more appealing by the locations in which they take place. Honey-coloured clifftops, bright flora-filled countryside and glassy turquoise sea are a treat for the eyes, while the activities remain a feast for the soul. For an extra-special experience, recommend visitors head out for their wellness fix at sunrise or sunset.
The Maltese Islands have kept up with the growing trend for clean eating and there are a number of feel-good food spots for visitors to choose from, including vegetarian and vegan options such as Grassy Hopper in Gzira and Soul Food in the heart of the capital, Valletta.
With the meaning of the Spanish word “gozo” being joy, there’s no better place for clients to find their zen than on Malta’s neighbouring island of Gozo. It may be small, with drivers able to make the journey from west coast to east in just 30 minutes, but it’s heaven on earth for keen walkers, cyclists and scuba divers. In fact, Gozo’s epic dive sites are just one of the reasons the Maltese Islands are consistently thought of as one of the top scuba diving destinations in Europe.
This month (October), agents are being offered the chance to win a three-night stay for two people on Gozo in a booking incentive with the Malta Tourism Authority and Belleair Holidays. The winning agent and their plus one will stay at one of the five Quaint Boutique Hotels properties on the island and enjoy a daily yoga session with Yellow Rock Yoga. The prize stay includes flights too, and must be taken before 22 June 2022 (blackout dates include the Christmas and Easter holidays). But how can you win? Simply make a booking to Malta or Gozo with Belleair Holidays by 6 November 2021 to be entered into the prize draw.
This opportunity to explore a Quaint Boutique Hotels property promises a unique experience that gives a taste of the local Maltese lifestyle, impeccable guest service and beautifully styled rooms that are indicative of the Maltese tourism offering. These hotels are truly ideal for anyone wanting a wellness-focused island retreat, with a touch of adventure.
